I am a DJ who uses a Hi-Fi CD recorder (Pioneer) to record continuous dance music mix sets. The sound quality is very good, but I want to get that Fat Sound you hear on professional Mix CDs.
I have tried the Limiter, Compressor and the Normalizer in Pro Tools (Free) but are unhappy with the result. Everything I try seems to result in a quieter, duller and less dynamic sound, which is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. When I use a compressor, I cannot get the Gains anywhere near 0db without clipping. Also, I only run a Mac Titanium. Can anyone suggest a better approach? Does anyone know of an inexpensive software option like Sonic Forges Wave Hammer but for the Mac? Cheers DJ Anton |

Synthetic,
Thanks for the advice. Although I do not own a Crystal Method album, I am a real breaks lover - I DJ nuschoolbreaks and techouse around Chicago. My current CD recorder (Pioneer) is OK at converting from analogue to digital, but the recordings are straight to CD and therefore only 16 bit. Like many music nerds, I want better sound. So hopefully I can rig up my computer to do this and forget the CD recorder, although it is nice to have a stand alone machine with all the right controls and connections designed for recording sound. Cheers Karl |
