Hi
I am making digital copies of a large record collection at a very good sample rate on a reasonable system and programme, and I am quite happy with the end result, but I have these issues that I need advice with please.
All my own digital recordings are to 0 dB yet downloads I purchase are louder, the same applies if I make a digital copy of a track from CD but not quite as loud as the down loads.
The other thing is all my digital copies are recorded at flat response tone wise (this I am told is correct) but when played back with others I have done sound great but if I play one of mine then a download / or digital copy of a CD they sound like they have more base up against my ones. I have read that both the volume issue and base issue is down to what type of program is used when they are recorded and how it’s compressed at the time.
I have also read there is soft wear that can even things out so I don’t have to keep altering the volume on play back (plus there is also the extra base matter on downloads) but whatever I do, I do not want to compromise the quality by compressing it.
So does anyone know how to get the volumes and tone the same without any loss of quality.
Thanks for all your help in advance - Keith
