In Cubase, if I wanting to do an audio mix down (in order to master in Wavelab using processing), what is a safe level for the master outs? Should I keep it in the green-yellow (or can it creep into the read every so often? Should I not let it past 0db (as I can always increase it during mastering)?

Hi All,

Just taking the first few steps into the recording world and although I'm getting reasonable sound something is bugging me.

Hi everyone. Here is my setup at the moment, it is a Studio Projects B1 mic into a bleh 'Alto s-8' mixer into an E-MU 1212m sound card. I had an audigy 2 zs card and i just recently upgraded.

i am using an ART tube MP preamp, auto technica 2020 microphone and adobe audition 1.5 to record vocals...
the feedback on the vocals is still very unbalance the preamp has an input and output and I'm not sure at what level they should be, should the output be louder than the input?
the adobe has a lot of filters to reduce feedback and hissing

I'm new to recording and while tracking my gain levels were low(i know)...i have to turn it up pretty high when playing back...but i get hiss from the speakers at this point and it sounds terrible...any ideas?maybe run the whole thing through a pre to bring it up?

please..any advice would be greatly appreciated!

We have 3 PreSonus Firepods daisy chained together that we are using to record birds in a specially designed room for our biological research. Currently for our setup we have XLR condenser microphones that require 48V phantom power plugged into the front of the firepods and are recording 44.1 @ 24bits.

Hello guys I'm new to mastering myself, and i did a decent job on a few house tracks but theres a subtle difference in volume between some of them after i burn them to CD. How do i get them all together at the same level so the project sounds more unified? Im mastering in pro tools

Guy's... can you give me some advice/techniques in balancing the track levels? I'm using Sony vegas...usually I find the kick very low so I'll move up the volume but when it's done and play it, the kick is too loud...

please give some advice..thnx

Hi,
I have played in tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9/10.

I bounced them to 15/16.

When I listen to 15/16 it sounds fine, but on the CD I make I can barely hear tracks 4 and 6 (the piano and bass). I even turned them up extra loud, but they won't come through loudly.

Is there something I'm not doing?

I have the MR-16.

Thanks 1,000,000

Hello.

I'm Daniel. I'm new here.

I'm recording a synth using the Digi 003.

Everyone tells me it's best to mic an amp for this, but that won't work for me because A) theres too much noise in my house, and B) the only amp I own is a cheapo Behringer bass amp.

So I have to go direct into the Digi 003.
