I am trying to record live piano using SM57 mic through a Mackie 1202 mixer. Mixer output is routed through a Sony home type amplifier tape inputs. The output is directed into a Philips CDR. When the resulting CD is finalized and then played through a CD such as a car CD player, I have to turn the volume up to very high levels. How can I get increased volume out of the CD recorder?
Also loud passages are "clipped" and distorted in live recording of the piano. If I turn down the gain to reduce clipping, the resulting volume to the CD is barely audible. What is missing with this picture? Thanks for helping!
