can someone help? I have my sample rate set to 44.1 and my latency as high as it can go and I'm still clipping bad. Or maybe you could call it drop outs. The drop outs are in a rhythmic pattern. This kind of stuff isn't in the manual. I'm recording on a laptop. Do I not have my settings right or is this a problem with my computer?

002R clocking to M-Audio Octane via ADAT.

The Octane's dB meters shows the signal to be around
-20 to -10 dB but the Pro Tools input meter shows it clipping badly.

And, listening to it, it is clipping badly.

I have to keep the signal at -20dB or below on the Octane's front panel to avoid clipping within Pro Tools.

Hello People,

Recently I've recorded a show as a matrix (sbd+audience microphones).
The soundguy used a digital soundboard Yamaha.
It was an acoustic show.
On the loud parts, there are some clicks and clipping (soft) as it was a vinyl.

How could I remove that ? (remove or attenuate)

Hello,

I just tried this crazy experiment, and I need help understanding the results.

Here's what I did:

1. I turned up the final output volume in my mastering chain so loud that it created very noticable digital clipping in the loud sections of the song. I exported this song.

2. I then exported a quieter version with no digital clipping.

I have a new batch of about 20 songs I just finished working on and when I put them on a CD, they are low in volume. The last CD I did was much louder in volume. Basically, they are all pushed as much I can push them without clipping. How can I get these tracks to have more volume?

I use my mic mixer (Behringer UB1202) with my portable minidisc player (Sony MZ-N1) for recording. When Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is on, the levels on the UB1202 and the minidisc player seem to correspond well. When I turn AGC off (manual mode), the recording is totally clipped even though the level indicators on the UB1202 are green.

My Vocal chain is a Audio-Technica 3035 into a Grace Design 101 into a Yamaha MG10/2 with a Samson C.com16 compressor in the line imput. If I turn my pre-amp down I can't hear my vocals in the headphones when recording. I really not sure how to turn down the incoming volume and still get a strong sound in. Im at the point of either getting a headphone amp or another mixer.
