audio recording issue

sthompson · 03-20-2008, 11:31 AM

ok i do audio on two floors of a building and i have run into a problem the laptop i was useing for less important audio downstairsjust crashed so i ran wires through the ceiling froma sound board downstairs to a sound board i have upstairs from that it goes in to a compressor and into a computer to be recored. the problem is the audio on the computer looks discusting the entire curve goes off the 0db axis in both directions. i use adobe audition 3 with an audiophile 192 card i have not had this problem ever before. is there anything i might be doing wrong? and does anybody know if this is going to messup the audio really bad?(haven't had a chance to check it yet))

Good luck finding very many members here that know what a compressor does, lol.

What kind of cables are you usin and how long are they run, how many feet?

sthompson · 03-26-2008, 04:42 PM

there normal 1/4" cables not over 50'

So let me verify I got this. Your recording on board 1, then sending your outputs to the inputs of board 2, then to the compressor, then to the computer?

When the audio is distorting are you getting any sort of feedback possibly from interference between the two floors?

If you dont mind me asking, why not bypass board 1 altogether and just do your mixing and recording from board 2? Or is that not an option.

there is no interference from floor to floor and it sounds ok because it is only voice and the second board is for easy speaker control downstairs because it is set up as two different systems amps boards players it was quicker and easier. it sounds fine i haven't gotten complaints yet i was wandering if this was affecting the audio bouncing on and off the axis

Well if it sounds ok, then im not clear on what the problem is. I thought you meant it was distorting when you sent it to the other board. The waveform just LOOKs strange but it sounds ok?
