When I mix (as in DJing) the recorded tracks into other bought digital tracks (Beatport fodder usually), they have much less presence than anything else I play. Which is a bummer, cause some of these old tunes are where it is at!
Was wondering if anyone had any advice for converting vinyl to digital? I know that tracks are often engineered differently depending on whether or not they are going to be on vinyl or CD, so what changes should I make to to prepare a vinyl recording for digital audio?
thanks all, i hope im not being too vague : ) |
are you sure is not that the tranfers you've done are alot quieter than cd dance releases. they do tend to be silly loud in my experience. a vinyl wont be anywhere near that sort of level, and your a - d will on ly allow you so much level when you transfer.
