    What's the best way to transfer(record) vinyl to computer?

    I have a turntable that has an onboard preamp in it and RCA stereo outs. The amplifier for the turntable does not have RCA outs but it does of course have speaker outs. I have an Edirol R-09 portable MP3/WAV 24 bit/48khz recorder with line in(running speakers out of turntable amplifier into the...

    bouncing down dithering questions

    Good point. I could just make them 44.1/16bit WAV files for the cd. It won't make a difference between AIFF or WAV, right? They are already bounced down in AIFF..? On the other point... I wanted to upload 44.1/24bit to the website because you can download lossless format songs from this site...

    bouncing down dithering questions

    I'm getting my bands album(audio files) together and am wondering how to do it properly. Do I dither, bouncing down from 24 bit to 16 in say an AIFF file and then import that bounced file back into my recording program and THEN bounce that down to mp3 format for my CD, thereby getting a properly...

    "AUDIO FILE NOT FOUND!" Several of them. Where did they go? Logic Express 7.2

    No, the missing files are not from the Garageband session. I imported the garageband session into Logic, then recorded tracks in Logic and saved them at several different times. When I went to open the Logic session back up the Logic tracks cannot be found but the imported Garageband tracks are...

    "AUDIO FILE NOT FOUND!" Several of them. Where did they go? Logic Express 7.2

    "AUDIO FILE NOT FOUND!" Several of them. Where did they go? Logic Express 7.2 I imported a song from Garageband into Logic Express 7.2 and then recorded several vocal tracks on Logic on top of the imported Garageband song. I have never done this before but was saving after each track but...

    gain adjustments between preamp & DAW...and levels mics 'wants' to see.?

    This is what I'm wondering, getting optimum levels at the pre and then yes, adjusting the Logic software at the record level to get the RMS setting where it should. This makes things confusing again...if I wanted to take advantage of the saturated preamp character of say my ME-1NV then would...

    Should I add compression on heavier hitting songs?

    my thought was maybe it might be a good idea for songs that have very dynamic volume and intensity changes on the drums. This one song we're recording has very soft and very heavy hard rock drumming but we have the levels set for the hardest hitting parts, leaving the softer parts MUCH lower in...

    Should I add compression on heavier hitting songs?

    I've been looking through the search engine and still can't find specifically if I should, or if it's common to apply compression to drums on the way in(when recording). Right now I have good levels, between -18 and -12 on average, some peaking at around -9 but I'm wondering if I should maybe...

    gain adjustments between preamp & DAW...and levels mics 'wants' to see.?

    Thanks for the response. I understand I should probably test out the way i'm describing and I intend to, I just wanted to know if how I have things setup is typical of how one usually sets gain stages and if it is indeed true that microphones supposedly sound their best when they're amplified a...

    gain adjustments between preamp & DAW...and levels mics 'wants' to see.?

    I'm new to computer recording so I'm not sure I'm setting levels right. I'm miking a drumset right now using an FMR RNP for overheads(sm81's) and a mic each on the snare and kick. Both those mics are going into the MOTU 828mk2 preamps. The RNP's gain is at 18db and the readout maintains...
