Re: MP3Gain vs Audacity Normalising

I have just tried it from the original file to -6dB, and MP3Gain gives the same clipping levels, between 4 and 6dB too high Which clipping field are you looking at? Clipping tells you if it currently goes over 0dB. That shouldn't show clipping if you've normalized to -3 or -6dB. ...MP3 is lossy so ...

Re: Output a MultiTrack recording for production at 96K WAV file format

How do I get it to exports all the Multi Tracks to their own separate file? There is a little window to the left of the waveform and it has a mute button. If you mute all of the tracks but one you can get a mono file with just that one track and export them one at a time. Or if you're starting with...

Re: Recording using Rode NT1 so quiet I can barely hear anything

I looks like there is software called Focusrite Control, and that might need to be configured. Phantom power should be on. Condenser mics require power. Does the mic have an LED indicating that it's getting power? Are there any switches on the mic? (I don't think so.) I have the microphone with the ...

Re: Export error

How are you checking the bit depth? You can check with MediaInfoOnline . The file size can also tell you (for uncompressed files). There are 8-bits in a byte so (Bit-depth/8) X sample rate (Hz) X number of channels X playing (seconds) gives you the file size. when I go to open it it is now 32 bit. I...

Re: Output a MultiTrack recording for production at 96K WAV file format

Do I have to do anything to ensure syncing of the tracks? If they are in sync everything will stay in sync. The sample rate tells you there are 96k samples per second so sample-number 96,001 from the 1st track will perfectly line-up with sample 96,001 from the 2nd track, etc., all the way to the en...

Re: Bandpass filter

The User Manual has some information about the filter options. The Butterworth filter is "maximally flat" (no ripple).

Re: Unable to see audio wave form for 32-bit float recording

However the WAV file's recording level is *very* low: Much lower than -48dB it seems. Try the Amplify or Normalize effect. You might have to Amplify twice because there is a 50dB limit. Floating point can go that low without loosing quality so amplifying is worth a try, but there probably is someth...

Re: Understanding Audio and Amplitude Levels

To me, that still sort of begs the question of why the top is 0. Maybe because there is a practical maximum value and 0 is a slightly more logical choice of arbitrary number than any positive one would be? Even before digital 0dB was the the approximate maximum for electrical audio signals. But it ...

Re: exported now x2 file size and lower bitrate!?

You can check the format and bitrate of your 'before" and "after" files with MediaInfoOnline . EXPORTED NOW X2 FILE SIZE AND LOWER BITRATE!? File size is determined* by the bitrate and playing time. kbps is kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits in a byte so you can divide by 8 to get file size in k...
