hey how do you guys get no noise before your song starts, im using soundforge 4.5. i go right out of my board and into my computer through the mic input. i record right onto soundforge and i use the insert silence but i still get some noise. ive never gotten any mastering done professionally, do you think that would help? and speaking of mastering does it make your mix sound that good, i mean can you here a real difference like the finalizer does. thanks, for all replies.
