Title: Whats going on here? (Sound Forge recording question)
Post by: Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B) on March 27, 2007, 11:18:21 PM
Just wondering if anyone knows why this waveform look the way it does. The recording sounds fine. I'm just converting some old vinyl to FLAC, so I don't think it's a big deal. I don't have a spectacular turntable, I just want my good vinyl backed up in case it gets damaged.

I talking about the part around :13 seconds into the recording:

Like I said, it's not a big deal since it sounds fine, but I figured I might as well learn myself something!  ;D

Thanks,

MIKE B

did you happen to engage your flux capacitor right around that time?

If by flux capacitor you mean a little glass thing and a lighter, then yes.

What kind of music? Some electronic music can make waves like that, or certain effects boxes on guitars, etc...

Standard low-fi indie rock.

I re-recorded it and it looked normal.

What Gordon said about the levels.

Did you accidentally bump the turntable possibly?  I have never seen a waveform quite like that.

I have to say that looks like a flux capacitor issue I have to agree with everyone here.
