[78-L] Recording levels

[Clifford Bolling]

1)  10db
 
2)  4500+ from 78s, 300-400 from 33s/transcriptions
 
3)  I make CDs for me and just about anyone who wants one - original recording files are .wav, many thousands converted to mp3 and available free online, recently began adding videos of recordings to YouTube - No sound enhancements because the software I have trades scratch and hiss for weird squiggly noises.  Rather have the hiss.  Cheap software. maybe..??
 
Hardcore audiophiles really do not like my recordings because of the 'original' noise, though most folks are able to enjoy the music in spite of the noise.

I would like to take a survey of people who make CDs, MP3s,
other music files from, records, TV, DVDs, CDs, or other
Media.

1. First, what audio level on your recording program do you use,
    0, -3,-10db, etc.

2. About how many have you done, a rough guess will do.

3. How into recording are you.
A. Lightly, just for the car, orMP3 player, and no restoration.
B. Medium, more critical, sometimes use .wav files, may run
    an easy noise program.
C. Audiophile, use big .wav files, use a good restoration program,
     and must be close to CD quality.
