Jon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've noticed recently that when i record a vinyl into serato the recording is very trebly and there is very little low end meaning i have to boost the bass a lot on my mixer. Is there a way to control serato's EQ for recording? I don't think it's a needle problem as I've tried with both of my needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phology Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 never tried recording into Seratomight give it a go one day can u not just control the EQ when recordingmeaning turn down the high on your mixer and turn the bass up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 problem solved by recording the output of my mixer. before i was recording direct into serato from my turntable. all solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Caruso Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yes what you were hearing there is the RIAA eq curve. Due to the nature of vinyl grooves, they boost the treble and cut the bass when cutting the record. A phono preamp has RIAA curve compensation which boosts the bass and cuts the treble by the same amounts they were altered by during cutting - bringing you back to normal. Just a lil' bit of science for you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxplosive Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 i've had the same problem with serato. i assume it's just a bug. just change the input to a different channel, switch it back to what it was, and restart the program. that usually works for me. but then again your problem could be the RIAA curve thing.

x2k Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It is the RIAA problem and if you read the manual it tells you quite clearly that unless you are using a TTM-57 if you want to record using serato you have to connect it after the mixer (or suitable pre-amp). Of course they could do the RIAA correction in software but I would assume that the reason they don't is because the hardware is designed to be able to take a line level input and there for the circuitry isn't sensitive enough to get a really decent signal.
