rule #1..keep in mind with digital recording you cannot exceed 0 DB.( ever)
Use -6 DB as your point of reference.( equates to 0DB in the Analog world) Peaks should never exceed 0DB...
Digital saturation cannot be tolerated..
it's ugly...

And Garageband on the Mac can be a blast to mess with for non-serious recording. Great for hearing what you sound like with backing instruments. |

Tony's right about that 6db down issue. Try keep the visual indicators, blinkin' LED's, meters, or whatever indicator is used in the program contained to range not to exceed 6db below the zero mark. All of the literature (especially the video editing stuff) says so.
It prevents saturation & provides headroom. |
