I taped a band at one venue with my R-09 set at input level of 12 (second show i ever taped) and the levels were
a little low. So when i taped them a few days later at a different venue, with the input level still on 12 (the pre is fixed gain) i only bothered to look halfway through the first song (i did check during the opener) and noticed that it was overloading. I dropped it down to input level of 8 which worked except for one song later in the set that i only noticed when i transferred the file to my pc.
It sounds OK to me
, but i'm concerned about sharing it. I got izotope RX and tried the declipper on it, but it only sounded worse, to me. It dropped some of the peaks down, but the ones that remained made clicking noises, which it didn't do prior to my attempt at fixing it. Of course, it's quite possible i didn't use that program correctly.
Obviously the right channel is a little lower, and there's quite an audible volume difference when i dropped the level during that first track. I guess i would bring the levels up after the input level drop to try and fix that.
Either way, just looking for some advice on how to proceed here. I'll post some screens, i can post audio samples if that will help.
Regards, noob
