is there any tips for when im using this because when i record somethink it always sounds crap the sounds not clear enough.

 

[DJHaze]

make sure that the input level is low, i usually have min on around 0.4 and sounds clear enough.

also make sure that anything on your mixer is at a decent level, if everything is up youll just get a messy sound.

give it a go

ez.

in order for it to sound alright i have to put the input on 0 and the bass and gain well low. i prob just got a shit cable or somethink

i had that same problem, it was mainly because the levels were too high, too loud.

keep eveything in the green on the mixer and you should be cool

my guess is that your all pluging into the mic input.... plug into the LINE input, the mic signals are far quieter than line so the mic input boosts the signal

 

[DJHaze]

the above is true but even in line in this problem occurs, stay in green on the mixer and your good for!

maybe he hasnt got the limiter thing on?

all about soundforge imo

 

[MARLZTAH]

yeah soundforge is better, but none of these people are having probs because of their software, they are having problems because they either plug the signal into their mic input or because they are going well into the red on their mixer

soundforge would record terrible too in these situations

ive only got a mic input, headphone input and usb. can you get usb cables for recording from a mixer then?

 

[MARLZTAH]

if you got a usb mixer then yeah

even shit soundcards have a line input, you dont have one??

Would this work for improving the sound quality then? As it has a line in?
