    When mixing a track why does the decibel reading shoot up when I cut?

    No its a parametric EQ, just what comes with Cubase 10 Elements. I'm aware of volume bumps that can happen when dealing with hi-pass or lo-pass filters. Its not the mic that's distorting, its just the on-board compression mics that come with the H4n Pro. Everything sounds fine from the original...

    When mixing a track why does the decibel reading shoot up when I cut?

    Thanks for the response! What you're saying is what I would think, however it doesn't quite explain what I'm experiencing. I tested it, if the frequency band is anything over 0.2, the volume still raises, even if the cut is only 1 decibel. Even at 0.2 frequency band the volume goes up 0.1 at...

    When mixing a track why does the decibel reading shoot up when I cut?

    A bit of a particular question, I don't know how else to have it answered directly. When I take a Zoom mic recording of my band live in a room, it often gets loud to the point that the track will clip, but as its only a single track recording it never exceeds 0 decibels. I'm not worried about...

    Best Portable Multitrack Recorder for My Purposes yo son

    Thanks for replies friends! Spantini: Interesting! So the DP-003SD records in 24 bit? Any chance you know how the on-board mics stack up to the ones on the Zoom H4n, H6, etc? ecc83: Those Pre things don't have on-board mics, which is a big part of the reason why I'm looking for one of these in...

    Mixing Vocal Volume Using Gain

    Hey thanks so much for the reply! I'm glad to know I'm not that for off with what I've been doing. Without using processing, couldn't I just adjust the gain to fit the dynamics of the song as I see fit? That is, while of course I can do whatever I want, is there any serious drawback to avoiding...

    Mixing Vocal Volume Using Gain

    Hey, this may seem an odd question. But in the past I've tended to get the right volume for different parts of a vocal track by meticulously going through the waveform, highlighting whichever little part needed some extra volume or less volume and adding the seemingly appropriate level of gain...

    Man, Farview, I hope you get paid well enough for all your continuous and studious help. Everytime I come here you are Johnny on the spot with genuine helpful advice, and, in this case and many others, much welcome reassurance. I'd buy you a beer or two if I could. I've been mixing non-stop for...

    Perhaps Silly Question: track level verse master level

    Sorry to dredge this up again, but I have another question in this realm, and need IMMEDIATE assistance as I have a due date tomorrow with a mastering engineer. Any help would be so very very greatly appreciated. In regards to individual track volume, I started wondering about when I turn an...

    Perhaps Silly Question: track level verse master level

    Hey thanks so much for the reply! Tracking is all done and I am quite satisfied with everything that way. I am just in the mixing and final mixdown stage now. The average peak levels can differ per song, but if the peak level is say, -1.0 db, is there anything wrong with just bumping it up...

    Perhaps Silly Question: track level verse master level

    I've been using Cubase 5 to mix tracks recorded on a 4 track. In readying the songs for mastering I just focus on getting the mix right, and my mastering dude said so long as the mixes aren't clipping he can work with them. But I was wondering if there is anything whatsoever inherently wrong...

    Tascam US-1800 not working. Need Advice ASAP

    Yeah exactly. The only things I consider problems are the things I have no understanding or control over. Then I come here and you kind folks give me advice ha. I never even knew that you were supposed to use the same USB port until recently. Seems the Tascam works with any of them.

    Tascam US-1800 not working. Need Advice ASAP

    Hmm..interesting. However, fancy this. So I arranged to exchange the new USB cable I had bought with the Tascam one. Apparently you can do this. With the new one my computer was crashing the moment it was hooked up to the US-1800. With Tascam's cable, once again, no problems thus far! I will...

    Tascam US-1800 not working. Need Advice ASAP

    Thanks for reply. Yeah I can't for the life of me figure this out. I tried opening up Cubase first but the computer is crashing almost the moment after I plug it in. Tried re-installing the drivers but the same thing happens. I can't help but think that the same USB cable is, at least by some...

    Tascam US-1800 not working. Need Advice ASAP

    Hmmm. So as I had told about how it had turned out to be the USB cable that was the problem, I returned the second US-1800 as I didn't need it. However, on returning it I of course couldn't keep the USB cable. So I bought a standard one. When the first USB cable wasn't working my computer would...

    Hey friends. First off, I just wanna say how much I appreciate all the kind and helpful folks on this website. I'm a bit new to mixing on digital, I'm getting the hang of things, but I have a concern about how to properly use high/low pass filters and shelves. In particular, where people talk...

    Tascam US-1800 not working. Need Advice ASAP

    Yeah I thought so. The only thing that makes me paranoid is that in the manual they say to only use the provided connections that come in the box. I know that not all such things need to be heeded(the manual for my 4-track says to demagnetize the tape heads once a day it is used?) but still, not...
