So I do recording of live shows (rock, alternative & folk) w/ a Sharp MT15, SoundPro Binaural Mics and a Battery Box (no Bass Roll-off) and am generally satisfied w/ the results. I really don't care if the Bass is too high on MD, as I dump the sound onto my HD, re-EQ it w/ CoolEdit Pro and then burn it to CD-R. When I re-EQ the sound, I found that in places where there was excessive bass, if I lower the bass too much, I end up w/ a very digital/grainy sound. Could this be the result of the loud bass using too much of ATRAC's "bandwidth" (for lack of a better word)? I know that ATRAC has to discard some audio in it's compression and that this audio is usually imperceptible (sp?). By lowering the bass, could I be exposing those frequencies that have been cut-out? I guess what I'm asking is would a BatteryBox w/ a bass rolloff feature make the recordings sound better by giving ATRAC less information (or, better put, less Bass) to need to compress? I realize that I would probably be able to bump the Mic Input Level up a few steps and thus give a bit more dynamic range to the vocals. Any thoughts, /George ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
