hey there,

what does it mean if you have recorded you song peaking around -4db, there is no clipping, but when played on an average home stereo you cant turn the song up too loud without it distorting? how can i fix it? do i need to turn all the individual tracks down(if so how far?)and then raise the master(if so how far?)
cheers,
C
 
I'm having a similar problem, but I'm getting clipping on playback through Cakewalk Sonar, even though the recording level was at -6db and the playback is set to -8db.

I'm not really sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?
 
yup,

sonar 2.2 is what im using and its bloody frustrating. At first i just thought that i recorded with the mic too close to the sound hole, now after re-recording its still got the distortion? help
 
Where is your soundcard input level set to? What soundcards are you using?
 
maybe thats what it is, but im not sure what it is supposed to be set to?
this is what it says:

Output- +4dbu
In1 - +4
In2 - +4

Latency- 384 samples

sample rate- 44,100

Is this bad? I got the soundcard off a mate without the instructions
cheers,
C.
 
please help,

i also have a M-audio omni and behringer truths.

what should i be having my sound card set at for playback, because you cant hear any of the distortion unless its on home speakers. Shouldnt i be able to hear it on my monitors?
