Problem recording with Masterlink 9600

Posted by ptruce (A) on July 17, 2006 at 13:44:06

Hi! I just purchased a 9600 and when I record an LP, the recording is very soft and the bass is boomy in comparison to LP playback. My setup is as follows:

1. I am recording from my preamp line outs. I need to set the volume at 3:00 (!) in order to get full range recording where I very occasionally get a yellow bar.

2. Speakers and amps are off.

3. I record a side (88.1/20 bit), normalize it and then split into tracks. I then burn as Red Book.

I am assuming that the recording sounding should sound the same as the LP (or at least very close), but the recording I get is really soft and very noticablely different.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Peter
