Re: [emax] bad sound

2013-01-15 by krikor kouchian

the noise you are recording is definitely from your soundcard.
if the ratio "soundcard hardware output volume"/ "Sample volume inside the
computer" is not right (sample too low/soundcard volume high) you will
record a lot of noise. It will be even worse if the emax input is high.
try to normalise you sample in the computer then lower the hardware output
of your soundcard if needed, and hit the emax as hard as you can.
