its a direct x plugin mastering program. I use it and it will give amazing quality.


I haven't looked at other options, I can't help any more.

doggy conections are a possibility. more likely to be crap wires. did you get them cheap or are they an unknown make?

it really does pay to have good quality wires. its often overlooked.

which wire are you talking about in particular?

the wire that goes from mixer -> computer .. i bought at comp usa, for like $20.

the other wires are the ones that came with the package itself (turntables, etc)

are those the ones you were talking about?

Whats connected to the line-in on your sound card from the mixer? I Find you can either use the 'Master Out 1' or the 'Booth Monitor' output from the back of the mixer to the line-in on your sound card.

I use the Booth monitor and find it gives a better recording quality and you can adjust the levels with the booth monitor knob itself (below the Master Balance knob) making sure you have no clipping with the meters in sound forge.

ok it dont sound likely that its the wires then.

another possable thing would be your sound card. unless its good.

when you save you sound file have you cheaked the sample rate to make sure its a decent value? when saving do save as and cheak the "template" to see what kind of quality you saving as.

could it be your pc speakers?

What is it about the sound quality that isn't up to par? Can you give us details?

You are probably running into the fact that your Mixer is sending pro level signals at +4dB while your sound card is expecting signals @ -10dB (consumer level). That can give you distortion. You might be able to fix that by tweaking down your input gain a bit....though I am not sure.

Also try recording it as a 48 KHz wav if you have that option.

sorry for me not specifing earlier but this is what im talking about

when i play the music from my room, it sounds excellent.
however when i record it on sound forge
and play it back...

it sounds like an mp3 i downloaded with a very crappy sound quality rate. it sounds as if the hi's are not sounding good, and are very high. the mid's are there but not totally there (like it sounds fake), and the bass sounds pretty low.

any solutions to my problem??
thanks again

When you save it in SoundForge be sure you are saving it as a high quality MP3 or a WAV file. What kind of sound card do you have?

Are you certain that you are using your 'line in' and not the mic input, because i have no line in on my laptop and recording through the mic gives aybsmal sound quality.
