If Jsnkc's advise doesn't fix it - and you're in a hurry - record it to your camera. Just forget about the picture and record sound. then you can capture it like DV and put it on your timeline (audio only) or play it back in the camera and record it in Vegas (line out from camera - line in at soundcard).

General advise: open your soundcard's properties and mute every in- and outlet that is not needed for the recording operation. They all produce noise you see.

And also: make sure your mic is plugged to a mic in - not a line in point.

Yes it is plugged to Mic in, I checked. Where would i find mic volume control to see if it is turned up enough?

I will probably take your advice and use the camera. If i can't figure it out.
Thanks again.

Assuming it's a more or less normal sound card, double-click on the speaker icon in the lower right corner of your screen, then click Options / Properties / Recording / OK. You'll now be looking at the input/record mixer. Make sure that the Mic input is selected, then adjust the volume with it's slider.

Go to your Windows Start button, then:
Programs|Accessories|Multimedia|Volume Control

This will launch the volume control applet.

Then, go to Options|Properties|Recording Volume
to get the input mixer.

Move the appropriate sliders for your mike in port.

Yer wanna an Old Way? - Stick the video on a monitor. Point a cammie at the VO artist. Record. The VO aritist to cammie. Capture "Vo - Video" to Vegas. You now have the VO in synch WITH original video. If it is a bit out . . you know what to do . . . simple . .

Try double-clicking on the speaker icon on the tool bar at the bottom of your Windows desk top. It's probably in the lower right hand corner. This will bring up the Volume Control panel. Take a look at how it's set up. Select "Options" and "Advanced Controls." This should give you control overeach of the I/O ports on your audio card, unless your card has software that accomplishes the same thing.

I use an ATI card, and it took some tinkering with it to get mic input to work well. I found that running the mic into my Mackie mixer, then out to the card, worked best, but I've also gone directly into the computer with good success. I've also recorded at a low lever, such as you're describing, then put the resulting wav file into my audio editing program and adjusting the level there.

The "record to camera: suggestion is a good work around, and has the added advantage of letting you set up your talent in a quiet environment, away from the noise of the equipment in your studio.

I found my mic volum control thanks to everyone. It was low but moving it to the mid didn't help much and i think has a bit of static too. The camera is probably my best bet.
Thanks again

YEah . . Less TEcnology Is sometimes better . . If it gets you through the night . . .
