Optimize
your input signal level at source rather than relying on normalization
to bring the level
up: if your input signals peak at only half the maximum level, you're
basically halving the signal-to-noise ratio of your recordings and
wasting half of the theoretical resolution of your system.Digital
processing such as EQ or reverb may also introduce noticeable rounding
and quantising errors in low-level recordings. Use the level meters
provided in the software and try to keep your peak levels just a few
dBs below clipping. |
