Hi all,
I'm doing a fair bit of field recording now with a Sony MD recorder (RZ900), and when I dump it into my computer (using a Delta 44 sound card), it is invariably vewwy, vewwy quiet. I've been having to normalize using software (Goldwave) to bring levels up to normal.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I'm letting the recorder auto-set levels because interviewees occasionally get excitable, yell, etc; in some environments there are infrequent and unpredicable loud noises, and I'm loath to set the mic level myself and risk tons of peaks.
Suggestions? Should I just buy some sort of pre-amp to go between the output (headphone) jack and the Delta 44 inputs?
