I found loads of great info but it's a little over my head. I know the answer is in there somewhere but I'm just not getting it. Hopefully someone can dumb it down for me. :-)
Gear: Sony MDS-JE320 (with remote), MacBook with digital out
Software: Songbird
Source = FLAC, Played with Songbird -MacBook digital out, Destination = MDS-JE320
Question: Left and right recording level meters on the deck rise and fall by adjusting the volume out while playing FLAC with Songbird. If I max the MacBook & Songbird volume the levels are registered as high on the deck with no "OVER" warning. Does this mean I should record with max. volume out to the deck? Will this give me more playback volume on my Sony MD Walkman?
I'm afraid of getting 'clipping' etc. But being it's a digital signal via fiberoptic, how could the level be too high?
Remember who you're talking to and maybe make your answer reflect that. lol Just say, "Go for it at the highest level." or "Be safe and record at medium levels." or something like that.
Hey, thanks guys. Great forum. Long live MD!
