Thanks for the advice again folks. I've spent some more time with AA today and am beginning to understand it better. I need to watch my input levels more closely in order to avoid trying to make the proverbial silk purse. I've uploaded the recording in question in case anyone's interested in...

Thanks! As for the peaks that go off the screen, can I work on just those by decreasing the amplitude by, say, cutting by 1db and seeing whether that brings it down into the 'safe' zone?

I use Adobe Audition 1.0 a lot for recording guitar and vocals, and figured it's time I learned how to discern whether my recordings are clipping and, if so, how to fix them. I'm working on another song that I've just recorded and have taken a screenshot to show the wave file. Link to...

ghetto3jon: I had a similar problem to the one you describe and I stumbled upon this thread when looking for answers. I don't know whether you solved your problem or indeed whether my solution will help your situation, but I shall relate it nevertheless, just in case... I went into Device...

It would appear that I have solved the problem. In Device Properties, under the option Get 32-bit audio using: I had 4-byte PCM checked as well as Try as WDM. I unchecked the latter and changed the radio-button to 4-byte IEEE float and now it seems to record at the correct sample-rate. But you...

Thanks for that Dobro - I guess I'll just work in 44.1 @ 32 bits and be happy with that. Ah, curiouser and curiouser. If I set the Di-Port (external AD converter) to 44.1khz as master, the soundcard correctly picks it up as such, however recording in CEP at 44.1 and 32-bit doesn't work. But it...

My set up is a Di-Port going into a Terratec EWX 24/96 soundcard. The Di-Port only supports 44.1/48Khz so I've set it as master and the soundcard as slave. The soundcard's control panel correctly shows that it's synchronised at 48khz. The Di-Port works at 24-bits and so does the soundcard...

Thanks for the replies. I've been doing some research since I posted and have found that this is as big a minefield as choosing which mics and pres for recording to PC was; there are just so many to choose from :confused: First choice to make, other than budget, is what pattern. I don't...

I have a Sony MZ-R91 MD Recorder and wish to record guitar gatherings. I'm hopefully going to attend a one-week acoustic blues course in August and am signed up for a UK gathering of rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic regulars. I would like to record both of these events, and any future events...

Care to throw a few monitor recs into the ring, Aaron? I'm thinking that, based on what I saw on your site anyway, that you know what you're talking about when it comes to studio gear and I thought I'd ask for a few pointers. What do fairly decent monitors retail for? Would the Tannoy Revolution...

I did mean the Di-Port with the Terratec card, and I did want to keep the cost down which is why the cmedia card seemed such a good option. However I've heard from someone with a cmedia card who said that the chip can't handle a 24-Bit 48 kHz input without downconverting/resampling (in digital...

Thanks for the info so far; it really is a steep learning curve. The Terratec EWX 24/96 card is still affordable; would that be any better a card to go with the Di-Port than one with the C-Media chip? I guess that if the Di-Port only samples at 48KHz, a 96KHz card would be overkill. Jock

In my research for a front-end incorporating preamps, phantom power and a/d conversion, I've come across numerous products. One of these is Mindprint's Di-Port, which just happens to be the most readily availalbe and affordable for my needs. I've already posted about that though so I shan't...

I recently flew with my Lakewood on a Ryanair flight and did some research beforehand. Here is one of the articles I found: http://www.win.net/~mainstring/carryon.html and yet another one: http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Musician/GenMaint/Packing/packing1.html FWIW, on one flight I managed...

alfalfa I've been doing some reading on the SMPro Audio In5 and reviews are pretty thin on the ground. But about this bus thing, the technical specifications are given as follows: • 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF I/O (optional) • 2 x Mic Pre amp (JRC4558D) • 2 x Insert points • 2 x Phantom power •...

Ebay I emailed the seller to enquire about shipping to Luxembourg and he said it shouldn't be a problem. You interested in one yourself? Do you have a 24-bit soundcard? Jock

Thanks once again alfalfa - you're a star! Could I just show my ignorance and ask what is meant by bus in this context? It's not the same as channel, is it? Yours in embarrasment, Jock

Me again: I just had another response from Mindprint - VERY speedy service, I must say! I asked: as the DI-port does not have an option to dither to 16-bit, would the Soundblaster card not simply truncate off the last 8 bits? and got the following response: yes, that´s right. But don´t care...

Thanks for that alfalfa: I wrote to MindPrint to ask about the 24-bit/16-bit compatability issue and got the following response: The DI-Port works with every Digital S/PDIF IN/OUT, 16 Bits and 24 Bits. It works with a Soundblaster card. As there was no mention of the truncation, I've written...

Thanks for the reply Booda. The fact that the Aardvark's pres are as good as, or better than, those on the DMP-3 is indeed good to hear as, from what I've read, the Di-Port's pres are of a similar quality. Now I have to decide if the Di-Port's having only two channels is outweighed by it's...
