#Recording 78s in vinylstudio how to#
I've attached a picture (I couldn't figure out how to embed it and. This would allow recording audio frequencies up to 48khz and 96khz respectively. If this is the case, 96khz or even better 192khz resolution on the audio files would be better. A flat topped graph like that would indicate you're cutting off the frequency response due to your low 44.1khz resolution (won't see any audio above ~22khz). Usually spectrum FFT displays frequency on the vertical axis time on the horizontal, using color to indicate level.

Thank you for reading this/taking the time to help a lost soul I'm hoping this is the case and someone here will just point it out to me immediately.
I am finally turning to the forums, where I probably should have began and just asked a bunch of stupid questions, because it's not like they're any less stupid now, and I probably have confused myself and done something blatantly stupid. Please help my suffering, someone, anyone.
This leaves me throwing my hands up and cursing technology because I am becoming frustrated with my own inability to understand the mechanics of simply turning my records into CDs. this is not the issue, is it?) - they're all cut off UNDER where clipping would occur. I thought this was fine, and thought my months long issue in understanding this stuff might finally have some sort of simple cure here, but then I took a look at the spectral view of the songs, and you can clearly see that the waves are cut flat across the top, but not at 100 (or 0db, to my understanding, as I was setting normalization to -1db. (92, to be exact- this continued over multiple records) (I'm starting to feel like I'm missing something blatant!!) and these recordings sound fine, I'm recording in 16/44.1 and output is the same, I don't hear any clipping and I'm quite the audiophile at this point so I think I would hear if something was clipping, and VinylStudio never said "CLIP" it just wouldn't go higher than 92. So, here is where I am now: I abandoned the "digital gain to 1" setting (which put it at 54/100) and lowered it a couple notches, then cranked up the physical -6 to 0 db knob all the way up, and voila, I am getting loud recordings that seem to limit themselves right under 100. Now, with the preamp, "set digital gain to 1" was an option, and the recordings were ever so lightly louder. As I said, normalizing has minimal effect- and I still wonder why this is, I am told by site after site that normalization should be the answer to my problem.
In VinylStudio, before I had the USB Phono preamp, there was no way to "set digital gain to 1" but things were still very low. I bought the preamp because I determined that I needed an actual, physical gain knob to fuss around with, and I'm actually really happy with it.
I have tried several methods, but I am now using an NAD PP 4 USB Preamp to connect my turntable directly into my computer. I understand that these are mastered to be loud. If you were to put a rip of mine next to a rip of one of my CDs in a playlist, you'd blow your ears out when it switched to the CD or the digi download. I have tried normalizing them in multiple different programs, and it makes it slightly louder at best. I have spent a long time trying to do this, read many articles, have come to my own conclusions that I want to record in 16/44.1 due to the raw data/I really don't think there is any difference between my CDs and my records.
