OK

I'll try a dedicated phono preamp today and won't bother you any more.
Thanks.

Audacity RIAA Applied.wav 3rd Party RIAA Applied.wav Before RIAA.wav It would really help if you posted a short audio sample in WAV format so that we can see exactly what is going on. Images and numbers will often not tell the whole story. Please post that section 14 to 19 seconds from the "be...

Hi Steve,
My last post is the RIAA from Audacity.
The other one doesn't reduce the volume 10dbs.

Here are screenshots of both before and after the RIAA curve. BEFORE http://i.imgur.com/0XyNfUD.png AFTER http://i.imgur.com/kIM1HFE.png The other RIAA is definitely a RIAA curve...I got from here. (please let me know if I shouldn't post this link) http://www.nullmedium.de/dev/audioplugins/ I notice...

Ok... I took two screen shots. Both show a mid-section of a song with one having the Audacity RIAA curve applied and the other the other RIAA curve. While the other is fine... Amplify wants to correct the Audacity curve by boosting it just over 10db. http://i.imgur.com/34JVlIl.png?1 http://i.imgur.c...

Hi Gale, I have my turntable connected to a Scarlett 2i2 with some RCA to phono adapters. I turned up the gain controls to the point where there's no orange flash let alone red. Anything above that shows the red line of clipping in Audacity every once in a while. I think my signal is getting in alri...

Thanks again, Steve.
I guess brick-walled was the wrong term now that I get it means clipping.
I was just surprised with the above pics when both RIAA reduced the two original spikes around the 1.16 mark.
I take it the after pics are fine since you haven't expressed any concern.

Thanks for the reply, Steve. When I upload any music into Audacity I usually use Amplify to boost or reduce the signal to 0db. (I think this is the default setting or else I made it the default.) All I have to do is open Amplify and it automatically chooses the db to adjust to achieve 0db. Would thi...

Hello again. I just noticed when I apply the RIAA curve in the EQ it reduces the volume. But when I use the RIAA I uploaded awhile ago the volume doesn't change as much. I also noticed both curves reduce the Dynamic Range. Is this normal? Do I amplify after applying the RIAA curve from the Equalizer...

OK...thanks Cyrano, Gale and Kozikowski!
