Re: eq curve

Is there any one step eq curve I can run to improve the sound? No. The type of curve required depends on what your tapes sound like and what adjustment they need. Old tapes tend to sound a bit dull, so you may want to increase the high frequencies a bit, but old tapes can also be "hissy",...

Re: Concept for Logo/Icon Revamp

Thanks for sharing your ideas (and for the kind words) cehirsch. I certainly like the use of a sans serif font. This is a common idea in most of the suggestions that we have received, and I expect that sans serif will be adopted at some point. Also "flatter" is another common theme. The mo...

Re: RMS Normalize

Would just like to know when or in what circumstances one would use this over Amplify or Normalize? Why would someone want to Normalize according to RMS when there's very little audible difference over using the other mentioned effects? Here is a sequence of 5 short generated sounds, separated by 1...

Re: Splitting, attenuating cable?

24-bit has a huge amount of dynamic range. You can afford to "waste" quite a bit as a safety margin. (a peak level of -20 dB will still have more dynamic range than a CD.)

Re: Splitting, attenuating cable?

Where would I buy such a cable? I doubt it exists ready made. I've never seen one. does anyone have any plans or schematics for such a cable that I could build myself? The specs say (http://tascam.com/product/dr-40/specifications/) that the line input is 10 kOhm, so just putting a 33 kOhm resistor ...

Re: Sound file formats and sound quality

When I download a mp3 file and work with it, and then export it again as an mp3, does it lose another 'layer' of sound quality? Similar to making a copy of a copy of a copy of an image? Yes. The amount of loss depends on the MP3 encoding settings. Higher "kbps" loose less than low "k...
