Hey,
So I've been messing around with a digital recorder (Fostex MR-8) and its a
blast. However, the level is too low. In other words, I'll record myself and
then transfer it to my PC where I'll mix it into an mp3. When I see the
waveform on the software I am using, the amplitude is small; thus the volume
is low, and I have to turn up the computers volume to hear it properly.
The recorder has got a trim control for the mic input, and if I have it full
up, I get some clipping when I play an accented note or play a loud ringing
chord. So I back the trim down a little, but now the overall level is low. I
could turn up the amp, but I don't want to blast the house anymore than I
am. I've got the mic right up against the speaker grille. Any suggestions?
Would putting a mixer in front of the recorder help? Move the mic back and
turn the amp up a bit?
I'm totally new to this, so any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
BN
