hey everyone.... i didn't want to post a new thread but i have a similar problem as well with sound forge.
i have an m-audio audiophile.... i read somewhere that to get the cleanest recording i should just hook up my TT straight to the soundcard (i have a TTX so i have a line output) so there is less sound degradation and/or 'coloring' of audio by the mixer. anyways, for whatever reason when i click 'record' the levels will max out, even with no signal going through.... this happens regardless of whether i am running the line straight from TT or from mixer. i was just wondering if this could be due to a ground loop? (my laptop and soundcard are plugged into a different electrical outlet than my TT.)
also, because i am recording straight from TT, i have no way of adjusting the input gain and my audiophile does not have an input control as well, only output. is there anyway i can adjust the gain within sound forge (or audacity)? or should i just record regardless of the levels (as long as it doesn't clip) and then normalize afterwards?
thanks,
- brian
