low volume when recording?????????? -ACID Product Family

Subject:low volume when recording?????????? Posted by: synthad1 Date:7/6/2001 4:03:46 PM When recording audio tracks I can barley here the other tracks in the back ground. The volume of the recording track is set perfect not to high, and the existing tracks are almost peaked out, yet I can still barley hear them through the headphones while laying down new track. Makes it very hard to stay in key with vocals. Any tips/suggestions ????????????

Reply by: thomasw Date:7/11/2001 4:50:30 AM I summit this before, here i post this again....hope i can help and u will understand what i am talking about. here is something i've observe about the rendered soundfile... i have the same LOW-LEVEL problem when opening the rendered file. I used to use WaveLab for mastering... I do a Change Gain in WaveLab, and there is a 'check peak' button, when i click it, it will detect how much db i can increase. Back to Acid, usually when i mix a song, i like to turn down the master level to avoid the peak. And i may add a steingerg's Maximizer to limit the level to 0db. Now i find out that the level i turn down in master fader is the same as the "change Gain" level detected by Wavelab... For example, if i have a -6.4db showing in Acid's master fader (i will see the meter still very full), then i need to set +6.4db in wavelab to increase the gain. If i have a -3.3db in acid, then i need to +3.3db in wavelab. guys, try it out... detect your acid rendered files in wavelab and see if it is the same as the acid master fader level...
