Vekked Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 say I'm sampling a break, should my eq's never hit yellow, or should they hit yellow but never red? and what's too low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 keep it on 0 dB with balanced EQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 keep it on 0 dB with balanced EQ so the loudest part never goes yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 You're talking about gains, not EQs. If you do what Chile said, you'll be sorted. EQs flat, and the recording level peaking as close to 0dB as possible without clipping. You'll need to adjust the gains on your mixer, and the recording level in whatever program you're using to record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelio Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 If you're talking about digital levels never go over 0db, on your DJ mixer you have a bit more headroom so it can be in the yellow or even peaking slightly in the red. Sometimes I pre-EQ samples a bit if I know I don't want the bass on a certain bit or whatever, probably not the best idea though cos on most scratch mixers the EQs are shit. I probably wouldn't record it any lower than -6db. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snuff Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 what they said, dont use the visual display on your mixer as any kind of guide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
