supabock Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Does anyone here use Cubase VST Version V (or others), and have you experienced compression when recording clean bass directly through the input of your soundcard on the PC. Just curious to find out if its my soundcard auto compressing for some reason or something within cubase in the audio/ input settings?

PCM recording will round the bits of Less so at 24 bits, a pasive bass stright into a sound card is the wrong Impedance so you may need a DI box.

supabock Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Ok, its an integrated soundcard on an Asrock Motherboard, all the basses that i am using are active , Wal, Sei for example so signal should be good enough.....I have to say i used a turtle beach sound card back in the days and never had this issue so does like you suggest point at the card. Its practically impossible to record in this situation as everything has that mmmmmwwwwaaaahhh thing going on, great for fretless well actually not i have to say.... Sound card suggestions, budget to start with is poss?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 [quote name='supabock' post='752030' date='Feb 20 2010, 06:37 PM']Sound card suggestions, budget to start with is poss??[/quote] I started with a Creative Audigy and Audigy 2 way back when - and in my 'back up' box I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 - a nice multi-in PCI card I bought second hand from this very forum. My 'scratch recording' suite is a line 6 X3 live plugged in via USB to a laptop and thats it! (Well - when the X3 comes back from repair!) I think for doing quick recordings - on a laptop then there are a multitude of USB and Firewire devices you can grab - Line6 doing well in the USB market - as they are cheap as chips. Take a look at the UX1 and UX2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supabock Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Ok, I think i need to investigate the options for sound card to see if it eliminates the compression thing then if not.....well I'll have to see how much i've got in me pockets !!
