I am sure this has been addressed on a thread before but I have some question about recording directly via USB.
Being a mac user, I normally go back and forth between Garbageband and Logic to tweak my presets. While my tone is where I want it (in both live situations directo FOH AND through my recording monitors via USB), I always have dB issues. If I listen to a demo track I am working on, for simplicity let's say its just a guitar track with a solo behind it being played to a click, I notice a significant difference switching back and forth between MY demo and a song on my iTunes library.
Obviously, I can't match the production value that these various artists in my iTunes library have in my college apartment BUT I should be able to at least get my tracks to the same dB, right?
I am always somewhat jealous of those who post videos of them playing while recording via USB. My recordings all sound good, but you have to crank them up way louder than any other songs in my iTunes library.
That being said, I feel I have a great understanding of setting my output levels (thanks to Chris@KatsuKuriMedia), but I wanna go deeper with my recordings and fix this db issue so I can start pumping out more recordings (like Mark Day, M@, etc).
Thoughts?
