Recording with Traktor Scratch Pro

Hello:

I have been recording my sets with traktor scratch pro, running this latter and recording internally. Im very confused and astonished because I realize that the audio quality is not the best one or Im missing something. Some weeks ago I recorded a set in a different stuff, the set up was macbook with traktor scratch pro, audio 8, allen & heath xone 92 and cdj 1000 MK3 - IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE RCA OUTS OF THE ALLEN & HEATH WAS CONNECTED TO A VERY BASIC AUDIO INTERFACE (M-AUDIO) AND THIS LATTER TO A PC RECORDING THE FINAL AUDIO IN LOGIC.

My set up is exactly the same but without the M-Audio and the PC with logic, I record connecting the RCS outs of my A&H to channel D in Audio 8 and I just click record button within traktor.

My surprise is that the set recorded with my friend sounds incredibly better than all mines, does anyone can tell me why? it is supposed that my Audio 8 is much better than such audio interface, so I don´t understand, please help me, I want to understand why. It sounds like it was mastered, very clear with color, dynamics, etc

thanks in advance

 

What have you got the sound quality set at in preferences? Also have you got your output volume on your mixer cranked up too much?

 

Sample rate 44100
The volume is divided, the recording level is set up to -6 to avoid peaks and the volume of my booth to monitor and turn up or down the volume without affecting the recording volumen.

Thanks in advance.

 

put your sample rate all the way up to 96 or whatever it is, i cant remember what the exact number is off the top of my head.

one last question. can you see any clipping when you are recording where the volume of the track(s) is going all the way to the end of the record volume bar?

when my sound is set to 44100 its sounds aweful. let me know what happens when you put it at its highest.

 

Check that you don't have the input D on the A8 set to phono instead of line.

 

I already did tests with the highest sample rate, no peaks, and channel D in line, it sounds the same.

Is there any difference if IN ADDITION THE RCA OUTS OF THE ALLEN & HEATH ARE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER AUDIO INTERFACE AND THIS LATTER TO A PC RECORDING THE FINAL AUDIO WAV IN LOGIC?

 

Possibly, did you try recording without logic?
