Re: Removing Massive Clipping Quickly

Re: Removing Massive Clipping Quickly

If it sounds distorted, then it is probably too badly damaged to repair automatically.

Re: Uploading to a forum

Hi Ron. Yes you did ask before.
Unfortunately we are not able to help you. The Yamaha Club forum has nothing to do with us and we do not know how their forum works or what their rules are regarding uploading songs. You will need to ask them.

Re: Help for recording with new kit

You need some way to connect the mixer to the computer. Plugging the mixer into a "mic" input on a laptop is not recommended - in most cases the sound quality will be dreadful and there may be a risk of permanently damaging the mic input. What is required is a "line level" input....
