Recording from a DAC produces a very different Spectrogram, could somebody explain why?

Hi

I took a wav file which is recorded as 44.1 KHz 32 bits float (A) and played it through a DAC (Topping NX4 DSD) which I recorded the output through an iD14 as 96KHz 32 bits float (B).

Then I opened the spectrogram view through Audacity of both to check the difference and B is full of stripes at regular interval. I wonder what could be the explanation.

We'd like to inform you about a recording contest, focusing on a recording technique used decades ago, which can still produce stunning results today.
 
Maybe you have could think of some interested young sound engineers/trainees ?

The contest started on September 1st 2024 and run until January 31st, 2025.

I am kinda new to Pro Tools. Trying to live record a multitrack of a band. I can also listen to the output (on my headphones), but sometimes I hear a weird high pitch noise for a second. Wondering what that could be. I use dante from our digital mixer, routing it and all seems to be fine. But that weird noise is strange.

I did this video - about how you could clip a mic to a flute. Handy if you need to do a live recording where for either the PA or just for separation, you need to get a mic close in and keep it the same distance from the instrument. Difficult to do with a mic one a boom, as the players never stand still. I used the Shure SM7B as sa comparison and then mounted a cheap lav mic in a small clamp.

Stereo recording from the center of a circle?

I’d like to make recordings of our group of musicians who play irish music. We get together every week and sit in a circle, in a private space (not a bar), and play Irish tunes. I’d like to avoid interfering with the group dynamic in our small circle and not be intrusive, so here’s my thought, let me know what you think.

Hello everyone, I am currently at university studying sound engineering and am conducting some research on microphone choice in the industry. I am calling on anyone with studio recording experience to complete this short questionnaire (~15 minutes) giving your 2 cents on which microphone you would use in specific music recording situations.

Hello all!  I am new here and have not been in the music business or in a studio in decades.  I have been recording my songs (pop/rock/blues) on my home digital studio for years (BOSS BR-1180)...    But now my daughter is composing contemporary classical pieces (think Philip Glass) and it is time to record them.  She has written a Cello and Violin part to a couple of songs.  I have questions th

Hey guys! I've been singing professionally for more than 15 years and I finally decided to start my TikTok profile with singing covers, etc. However, I noticed that it' still better to have your vocals pre-recorded than singing it live. I don't have any professional microphone, but I heard that you can get a pretty decent recording just using your smartphone.
