If you've set up your gains properly you won't have to worry about peaking the input on the amp. Your amp volume should be set at a comfortable listening level. This will allow you to be effective with the channel faders for the various singers voice volumes. This will give you good headroom into the mixer preamps and will help prevent peaking. You will be adjusting the gain or trim knob up on the mixer (Not the fader) until your "Check Check"s just get into the yellow meters. (If the meter is on the main output and only works with the main output turned up, turn the main output to 0dB or Unity) Speak loudly into the mic (Check Check!) but don't scream into the mic.
If neither, hopefully there is a meter on the board or in the software. If that channel has a Solo button or a PFL button, press it.
To minimize audio latency on the music output I had good success with a combination of ASIO4ALL and Voicemeeter. The next step was changing the entire hookup so that the mixer took in the analog music output from Windows, added the mics, and sent an analog signal into the home theater receiver. This was usable, barely, for one evening.Īnalog output from PC, into mixer, into sound system: the way to go

I dialed the buffer down as small as it could go, and the driver said it should have been around 9-10 ms latency, but it sounded like a lot more than that.

Even after replacing the generic Windows USB audio drivers with Yamaha's own ASIO USB audio driver, it was still no good. In this configuration, the mic latency was objectionable.
The mixer audio was set to "monitor this device," so mic sound came out the main Windows mix, which was sent out via HDMI to the home theater system.

Of course, the first thing I tried was what I knew probably wouldn't work: I plugged my mic into my Yamaha USB mixer, and ran that into the PC via the mixer's USB output. I didn't invent any of this, so many thanks to past posters on the topic. I recently got my system dialed in and wanted to share some notes for the benefit of future searchers.
