Re: [Doggiebox] songs with the ns kit

Since you guys are talkin' bit depth & stuff, I thought I'd ask a question... What do you recommend as the file format when exporting a Doggiebox song -- via "Export Song"? I usually use 'AIFF (Apple/SGI)' when exporting. After exporting the DB song, I then "Import Audio" into a Pro Tools session. However, after importing into Pro Tools there has been (only recently) some clipping on the DB import-track when I play it back in Pro Tools. Any thoughts? Should I be using a different file format when 'exporting'? I'm using Pro Tools 6.2.2, Mbox, on a Mac TiBook 667Mhz, 512MB RAM, with OS X 10.3.2. Thanks. -Patrick On 29 12 2003 at 8:14 pm -0500, mlucas1 wrote:
I want to record a drumkit for doggiebox. any tips? I just wanted to go out and record the kit of a friend. The user's guide mentions a sample rate of 44,1 Khz. does the bitrate matters?
I suppose you mean the bit depth (16, 32 bit, etc). No it doesn't matter; Doggiebox will convert on the fly (internally everything is converted to 32-bit floats when loaded and all processing is donet hat way).
I added two new songs. #8 is done with the nskit(woodb.): great drum. comment is welcome.
Sounds cool... nice groove. Happy new year, all. _________________________________________________________________ Working moms: Find helpful tips here on managing kids, home, work and yourself. http://special.msn.com/msnbc/workingmom.armx

I've only ever used AIFF. It doesn't really matter except of course for the software with which you plan to use the exported track.

Turn down the level (master volume) before exporting; it's probably topping out. That's a problem independent of bit depth or file format. In the future I plan to add a clip indicator so that you will be informed of this beforehand instead of having to discover it for yourself after the fact, though. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
