And you probably need to set the input level (on the right side) fairly low. I normally have it between 1 and 4 for recording from my mixer. And also make sure to record in 24bit.
Okay, I see that I can set input to channels 1 and 2 via those buttons to the left of the transport controls. But iām still uncertain how to turn down the recording volume. When I roll the rocker on the right, it just changes folders/files.
Below that, where it says rec level
What I want to type here would get flagged. So iām just going to say Iām a [flagged]ing [flagged] [flagged] [flagged]. Jesus christ iām an idiot. Thanks for putting up with me.
No worries
Nothing I havenāt already been through myself.
Cheers, man.
Happy to help
Moderator, can a thread be deleted to hide an Elektronaughtās idiocy from future generations?
Just change the title to please delete and theyāll make it so
Naaa, should keep it. Makes us all feel normal! And a nice read to see it getting sorted with help love this place!
seeing things resolved is one of the few positive things on the internet!
Sorry to bring this thread back, BUT it got me started (yay search bar!) And has led me to want to ask:-
if Iām recording stuff that Iām going to drop onto OT for sample mangling do I want to record 44.1khz 16-bit, or 24-bit? Or something else?
Many thanks in advance
Russell
Either is fine, 24 bit sounds better (apparently) but 16 bit takes up less RAM. So if youāre maxing out your RAM, use 16 bit, if not 24 bit.
44.1khz. OT wont play anything else.
16 bit = slightly more crunch when you start mangling samples. slight
24 bit slightly more fidelity in the sound. slight
And yeahā¦ 24bit takes up slighly more space. Which is slightly irrelevant given octatracks flashcard memory can be huge.
