Tryin to record a little set on Soundforge

[Swiftie]

Laptops are always a fickle, coz they don't have a true LINE in port. Well not all laptops anyways.U tried f*ckin around with the RECORDING options of that laptop soundcard and decreasing the MIC volume?

[Apache]

Yeah I have. I even turned it right down yet the levels in Soundforge remained critical...

Is mic boost ticked in the advanced options?Try plugging the cable into "Line In" instead of "Mic"

I've done that.Still no worky boss.

Really After that it shouldnt peak.I dont kno about soundforge to tuff though.... you obviouslly got the decks going thru a mixer right?**unless ur doing it on virtual dj thing**same way... bring down da volume on those and da master and ur recording level...... basically the program your recording on should have its own mixer.... i know it does in cubase... and not the channel ur actually recording on but there should be a level for ur input... turn it down *if u find it* to around -6db

I used to have this exact same problem on my old pc but used to solve it eventually, but this is f*cking me off something rotten now. I've been trying to sort it for a bout 2 hours

[djbmc]

try typing ur probelm in google and seeing wot comes up, or ask on a more specific forum, like computer music forum, they'll know.

Must be my soundcard or something.

i dont have a clue thats f*cked tho can u use effects in soundforge in real time cos if u can u could just limit it so it dont clip

[j-step]

It would still be distorted though....must be your soundcard or the gain on your mixer

[Apache]

When I turn the channel down on the mixer it records fine, obviously, but turn it back up and it's f*cked.It's something f*cking obvious but I just can't think what.

But I can't mix like that, the master volume makes no difference turned down, only when the channels are reduced does it change and sound ok, if you get me.

[qks]

dont seem like u got much choice

[Apache]

I can't handle the truth *smashes up Laptop*

[Apache]

I've done this now, just listened back on it and it's a decent little mix with tunes such as Attica Blues, DEA - So Confused, Wookie beats in there, X men, PSeudo - Heartbeat, some big tunes.Now I've saved it as WAV, but the file is hench... 54.mb?! What should I save this as in Sound Forge.
