I'm quite new to the home studio recording industry and have a question regarding voice recordings. When reading a piece of text I cannot hear myself in my headphones. I can hear the people in the control room but I cannot hear myself through my phones. The headphones are hooked up to a mixer in the studio booth and the mixer is hooked up to a Motu Traveler in the control room. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

Hear yourself...?

Do you mean when you speak from the mixer/control room...?
For that, you need a mic, and you need to feed its output into your headphone mix.

Can you describe in more detail how you have things hooked up and how you are attempting to get your voice into the headphone mix?

When you are reading in the studio and have the headphones on you should be able to hear yourself reading the text. Because the phones are probably not connected right you cannot hear yourself speak unless you have one side of the headphones off one ear. The mic in the control room is connected to a Motu traveler in the control room. And the mixer to which the headphones are connected into is hooked up to the Motu Traveler as well.

You need to send the mic to the headphones obviously. The simplest way is to bypass the mixer entirely and use the headphone out of the MOTU unit. It has a built in mixer that is no latency, so you will not get any delay in the headphones.
