Re: clipping at 1/2 levels... ? (presonus firebox)

Very high spec. AD/DA converter chips are available to manufacturers at ridiculously low prices these days, but there is a lot more to a high quality soundcard than just the chip. The analogue circuitry that connects the chip to the world make a huge difference, both in quality, performance and cost.

Re: Importation of mp3

No it is stereo 320 kbps CBR, encoded in iTunes. but you're right, it opens in Audacity as a mono file :shock: I'm not sure if due to some corruption in the file, or if it is just something odd about the iTunes encoder that Audacity 1.2.6 does not like, but it will open correctly in Audacity 1.3.4 I...

Re: Trouble going from WAV to CD

Audio CD's use "44.1 kHz 16 bit Microsoft PCM WAV" files.

You don't say what CD burning software you are using - I recommend Nero (any version, you sometimes get a light version free when you buy a CD writer and even that will do fine). I do not recommend Windows Media player.

Re: Waveform not symmetrical

Ideally you would connect the pre-amp out to the line in - that is, before the power amp.

The other...
