Ok.....little Soundforge 5.0 Prob!!!!!!!???????
-I've gone to the little speaker thingy on the bottom right in windows ...changed the properties to record.
-Moved the recording level all the way up
-Move the line-in bar all the way up
-Mono-46,000
-Hit record on soundforge 5.0
-Decible meter hitting above 10
But yet when i playback the recorded radio broadcast on my soundforge...it sounds all low and i need to max my volume to even hear it !! Where did i go wrong??? :mad: |

| just a thought??? is it because your in mono...why don't you try stereo and see if that makes any kind of difference??? |
|
|
| hey cheggy |
| Maybe you have a really large amount of headroom. try and get it closer to zero than -10, cos -10 is still pretty soft. Also, try normalising it after you've recorded it to bring the maximum peak up to -0.05 |

Maybe i need to do a little more research w/ Soundforge 5.0 (?). I thought it was gonna be really easy to use at first, but now it just seems like I have to read the manual in major detail!
Stupid Question...but how do i normalize a track after being recorded??
I'm sure the mono wasnt a prob cus I converted to stereo thereafter and the broadcast still sounded like it was down a large dark tunnel lol...Someone pleeeeeease help! Thanks

| Have you tried raising the wave/mp3 volume meter during playback? That should do the trick. |

| 46000? Very strange bit rate to record at! Why not use 44100? |

sorry it was 44100.....i'm not at my home cpu when posting, so #'s get a little fried in the head....lol...sorry.
Is the recording supposed to sound sh!tty before u normalize it ?...or is the file supposed to sound clear and at normal volume prior to normalizing?
My setup is also like this:
amp/reciever(cassette/tape out)----> computer/soundcard(line in)
oO0 Again for recording a radio broadcast 0Oo
Is there maybe a better setup I should be using?
Or is it me being new w/ soundforge and having major issues?
Maybe both? (wouldnt doubt it.....lol)
Any help is Greeeeeatly appreciated
Peace

I finally figured out the problem of why I was getting such a low input. You guys dont wanna know what it was believe me (I'm an idiot!!).
But.....
How do i reduce the level of feedback when i convert wavs to mp3? I keep getting a little static at certain points in the track, but when I listen to wav alone, i dont notice a thing! It almost seems like the higher kbps (128, 192,...etc), the higher the static level. N-e-one have any similar issues at 1st?
Any help is appreciated....Thanks yet again..

If u really need to know and laugh.....
I have a monitor that has a built in mic. So when plugging in my input to my soundcard i completely forgot about the mic plug in my soundcard! So when i was recording the radio, it was actually recording the radio through the mic instead of the input! N-e-ways, its fixed.
But i really need to know how to lower the distortion in my mp3's after conversion from wav. N-e-1 know how? or recommendations?
Thanks

| Thanks, you made me laugh :) What exactly do you mean by converting from wav to mp3 format? When I do a mix I just save in MP3 format:192kbps |
|
|
| Shook1 |
I mean ....when i save the file as 128kbps/192 kbps ....
thats when I get feedback or static during playback.
Heeeeeeeelp!!!
