Some of my old DAT's I recorded at very safe levels. I was thinking about boosting the gain, but that would not be wise with 16 bit because of the additional noise it will introduce.
Is that correct?
With my recordings today, I am always taping 24 bit at safe levels, boosting in post and adding a little EQ if needed. I don't want to mess with the boosting on DAT's if that will make the recordings worse.
TIA.
