【 Weak current College 】 on recording-level standards elaborated---Power By 【 China power house network 】

We all know, the recording level is very important, much will break, small, and would later shrinkage concrete unnecessary trouble, but also because of the elevation of the original level and generate noise.
So what is a good recording level? here, I'm speaking from two angles:
1, through the sound mixer input computer or multiple-rail machine:
In this case, it should be noted that two issues.
First, the mixer level.
Mixer as the signal input of the initial equipment, to make it do not overload the level, the level of large as possible. To do this, first, to adjust the sound mixer on the signal input track gain level, select the input signal strength is the largest segment as a test, to make the input level of the peak near but not exceeded 0db. Then the output level adjustment. As a result of the adjustment of the input level, output level Attenuator (signal input that track faders) maintained in a scale of 0 location (Note! 0 is not a minimum, but to make output level and input level. The lowest was-oo, negative infinity).
Second, is the mixing console and PC sound card, or between multiple Rails machine level.
If multiple-rail machine, you can do not need to worry because its orbit is factory calibrated level. Or digital mixing consoles and digital multitrack machine to ADAT or T-DIF linked, not to worry about the volume of the issue, and must be consistent with a mixer.
So, it is necessary to pay attention is a mixer and a link between a computer sound card.
First of all, if you are connecting the sound card's mixer digital ADAT, SPDIF, and other digital interface, you do not need adjustment, digital signal transmission is always able to keep its original level.
Most need to be aware of is the analog interface and a mixer sound simulation interface connection.
If this is the interface of analog digital mixing console with audio analog interface connection, you need a mixer on the level and the sound-level readings, in other words, a standard 1khz test, when the digital mixer's output level reading is 0db, computer recording software for recording-level readings should be 0db;
If this is a simulation of analog interface and a mixer PC sound card simulation interface connection, you need to make the following adjustments. Issue with analog mixer, a 1khz signal and output level adjustment to 0db, PC recording software for recording-level readings should be-18db or-14db, or they may receive level overload.
2, through the sound card of the analog input connector directly into the computer, so simple.
Method and adjusting mixer's output level is the same, that is to keep the sound signal is converted to digital signals do not overload the premise, as far as possible, enhance the recording level can be, do not be afraid because elevated noise, because you will each track's level are recorded to the maximum, shrinkage when mixing is bound to reduce, in this way, it will play a role in reducing noise.
3. Add PC test sound card input level readings of best software according to personal experience recommended SOUNDFORGE.
