Don't destroy your show sound just to conform to broadcast standards. The only difference between you and them is 8dB. This kills Final Cut people all the time. Your track doesn't have to live at zero like an Electro Trance Dance Mix.

A word on tone levels. Tone was important when VU meters ruled the world, but now it's just a generic reference tag and not as useful as it was. In digital video, show sound routinely peaks about 10dB over tone level. So In consumer DV, the show peaks just shy of overloading. In Broadcast, the same ...

Or you can do what most of us in Final Cut do and reduce your overall level 8dB and call it done. If you have natural, normal (no clipping) levels in Final Cut, you are using the consumer DV sound levels which use a tone standard of -12. If you put Bars and Tone on your timeline from the effects tab...

I will try. PLEOMAX PSP 7000B is a USB speaker system. Many times when USB is plugged into a Windows machine, Windows will try to send sound to the USB and capture sound, too. This is a mistake. You can reset the capture setting in the Windows Control Panel. Windows Control Panel http://audacityteam...

Every time you post it gets foggy instead of clear. What are you expecting to happen? Audacity doesn't have real time overload lights -- lights that flash during the capture when you smack 1.0 (or zero dB if your on that scale). The only indication of overload I know of is the red lines on the timel...

Just so I understand. Which clip indicators are we talking about? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record.jpg This is petty typical of all the versions I use. Where is the indicator supposed to be? There doesn't seem to be any preference or setting that will cause them to appear. I do see pr...

<<<i save as an aup file>>> You want to be really careful with that. The AUP file is the Project Manager responsible for coordination of the hundreds of other files that make up your Project. It's totally not a sound file. You can open up your AUP file in TextEdit and read it. Here's a really simple...

I believe that was a fourteen year old kid. Depressing, isn't it? Anyway I really wanted something well recorded to compare. I can start imagining all sorts of errors and start to discount my impressions. I put the noise down to this performance being broadcast on the fourth digital channel of a qua...
