No, I realize that post production does most the boosting and sound leveling. I just dont know why my mics are recording so low given how high the interface is cranked. I figured either I have been missing some hardware or that something was wrong with the equipment.

Sorry "decent" is sort of subjective and in the HR world very non-specific. Let me be a little more clear. My problem isnt so much with the sound/tone itself but the signal strength or amplification of the line as I am recording. I am recording acoustic guitar using a sm57 and a second shure...

Ok so I bought a firewire 410 from a friend which has two mic pre's. After messing with it, I am realizing that the mic pre itself is not giving me a decent sound. Giving it some thought, the word PRE probably means that I should be running the outputs to some sort of additional amp and then...

over the last few months ive been trying to piece together a computer based home recording studio, so that i can start on my new album. i have some sound card questions,but first let me give you an overview of what i have and what i need. ive got a pod 2.0 and im about to purchase a mackie...

im well on my way now to setting up my computer based studio and ive started purchasing equipment but to finish the order, i need to ask some more questions. so far ive got a pod 2.0, a shure ksm27, and a nice set of studio ref headphones. now ive had my eye on the mackie 1202 because i record...

i have been a long time user of ntrack and ive recently decided to upgrade some equipment so i have some questions. there are tons of things im interested in buying, but id really like the ease of usb instead of the old sound card/breakout box, but will ntrack recognise the source of sound if...

even though i know absolutely nothing about it, ive been wanting to get my hands on protools for a while. friends say its very easy to work with and the mbox seems like a perfect opportunity. however, i have a couple of questions about it: 1. is this supposed to act like a usb external version...

I cant believe this is still going on...

Ok so I get it now... Goldfish multiplied by pamela Anderson's Boobies (when bouncing) are the direct result of the optical illusion given by any 44 Khz strobe light during a math test. Unless you have 24 bit depth then cartoons are required for better resolution. Now that I have an...

I feel that I must have opened up one of those great philosophical questions. Judging from the responses however, I think I got my answer. As I was being educated by the mathematics (which by the way Emeric, was very helpful) I asked myself... now am I a 16,777,216 samples per second kind of...

Nevermind this silly question I got it fixed.

I have recently invested boo koo dollar into computer recording. Got a pod, nice computer, burner, etc. Thing is I only have a stander pci sb64. Now I've read up on 24 bit cards and they sound nice. I just want to know how necsasary a 24 bit card really is. I mean I play garage rock (with class...

Ok my problem is this: I've got a cheapo korg effects petal running into my line-in on my compter. Now I know this doesnt have the best sound quality in the world, but this goes beyond. While I'm recording with N-track, the sound seems to be somewhat optimal. However on playback, the sound...

Ok, I got n-track up and running. Running my guitar through a Korg effects petal into the puter. Both my cable and adapter are stereo and 16 bit stereo recording is on. Thing is when playing, music and tonal quality sound great (well good enough for a cheap effects petal) but after recording...

Ok, back in the day when i had no amp, I plugged my guitar through a korg effects petal into the line in and used my computer as an amp. Now I've been recording analog, but got serious about pc recording about a month ago when we bought a p3 450. I thought well I'll just do what I was doing...
