I've taped a few shows over the past couple of weeks and my outcome hasn't been great to say the least. Here's what I'm running....
481's>dogstars>PMD671. I had the mics at 0db.
It sounds like I've clipped some parts of the shows (only when the band "hits it" all at once). I checked the wave and there is NO clipping. The highest I ever went was -5db. It just seems to be distorted in those certain areas. We compared the same rig with different mics and the when we viewed the wave, the 480's had a "fatter" line than the other mic. What causes that?? The other mic (Audio-something) did have it's wind screen on and the 480's didn't....could this have mad a difference.
One show I was 30 ft away, the other I was about 35-40 ft away...could this affect it?
Please help...I have YMSB this Friday night and can't afford to screw that one up!!
thanks in advance.
