Thanks Boulder! The tracks are identical, so it is probably just lowering the volume, correct?, as I pan outwards? And yet I for some reason like the sound better with Track 1 panned to 10 o'clock, and the identical track 2 panned to 2 o'clock. Can't explain why. Maybe my pans are slightly off...

Ha! Yes, spantini! I think my ears definitely hear things sometimes that may or may not be imagined. Sorry just getting back, I was expecting my email to let me know someone responded but it never did.

Thank you, grimtraveller. Yes, there are mysteries and what matters most is the sound! If it's good, go with it. Sorry just getting back, I was expecting my email to let me know someone responded.

Hello everyone: So, I have one short bossa nova guitar track recorded (there will be no vocals or any other instruments). I recorded it onto tracks 1 & 2 on my Tascam DP-03SD simultaneously. So tracks 1 & 2 are totally identical. When I pan track 1 to 10 o'clock and track 2 to 2 o'clock, it...

Hello Group: To get a digital home recording (Tascam DP-03HD) to sound good on the streaming services is it necessary to apply compression? I am working on a simple Fingerstyle steel string guitar track with a vocal. The only other thing that may come into play may be the addition of an...

Thanks, Boulder!

Thanks, Rob. Yes, I have done some experimenting. But I got on the digital train waaay late; and digital recording is still quite a mystery to me. Still trying to learn some of the basic elements of it all I'm afraid. Apprectiate your help!

Another question in line with this project: In keeping with trying to get the best sound quality transfer: Is it better to go from cassette (I'm now down to the Micro-Cassettes) onto my Sound Editing Software (Wavepad) as loud as possible (without clipping) and not have to Normalize much or at...

Very cool, Rob! Can I look up some of your music on youtube and give a listen?

Got it. Thanks for all your help. MM: yeah, the whole loudness war thing was/is a shame! It just damages the overall enjoyment of music as an ongoing cultural joy and experience; when all of a sudden you get your ears blown out!! After all there is a limit to how loud we can enjoy sound anyway...

Thanks Boulder! That is very helpful information. Is the LUFS in major use now, even in the U.S.?

Thank you, Gtoboy!

Thanks for the help guys! Sorry, I just checked back in. For some reason I was thinking an email would let me know about responses, but now I know to check back in here. Your replies were very helpful. I have never used compression and think it's time I learn about it in general. I have been...

Hey BoulderSoundGuy: Thanks for jumping in to help! I have moved tunes from Maxell Cassettes into NCH software called: WavePad Sound Editor software. Then I normalized using: "Simple Peak Normalize" set at the top end of -5dB which is 59.5%. Hopefully that will give you the context.

If any of you add some of your original recordings to your iTunes library in order to listen along with your purchased music, what -dBs do you Normalize them at in order for them to be about the same volume as your purchased music? I normalized mine at -5dB and most of my purchased music on my...

Hello All: What is a great resource for learning all about compression? Thanks up front!

Hello Community, I enjoyed my P-424 for a long time and finally switched to the Digital DP-03SD and am preparing to begin recording after a bit of a break. My question is: what is a great pair of studio monitors that will work with the RCA jacks on the back? And if there is a pair that has...

Hello Community: I am wondering if a preset compressor would work with a tape I digitized recently that is mostly dialogue (and a motorcycle ride) recorded with an ancient tape recorder. This isn't for pro purposes at all just for old time sake with an old friend. But would like to be able to...

Hello Community: Maybe I am not in the best spot for this question but here goes. I have several videos I have posted on YouTube. They are very simple: A picture, with a song. That's it; all about the song. So then I realize that everyone else's videos are louder than mine. I was able to easily...

I am in need of digitizing my original songs, many of which are stuck in the analog world on cassette tapes. I am looking for a little help: 1) Is there a way to get your tunes to record into your sound editing software at the exact same volume level as they are on the tapes? 2) Is there a...
