Original Message 1/40 07-Oct-05 @ 10:11 AM - the long route..................
Before I had the 410 control levels up at full cos I was trying to get the best signal to noise ratio but when I burnt stuff to CD to listen on my stereo my stuff sounded too chunky, no dynamics and not spacey enough when compared to my favourite producers. Now its like another world!!!!!!
Im a proper fool. My friend told me that the guy who now runs Juno did something similar he gave up trying to produce cos he couldnt understand why his tunes never sounded pro enough. After 4 years of trying a bloke walked into his studio and told him his speakers were out of phase.
My question is can I find something in Logic that will give me a test tone so I can (exactly) match 0db on my instrument track to 0db on my Mackie? I would have though the Osc plug would but maybe it needs an input signal to work.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

Try cutting your tracks with more headroom (i.e. not as loud), keep their faders lower in the software, then using some sort of digital gain at the end of your chain to make up for any headroom in the final mix. This is how 24-bit systems are designed to be used, yet people still print their signals as hot as they would with analog. Not good.
