To ensure the highest quality of recording, there are a few things you should
do after recording:
1. Save your recording!
2. Select the area you just recorded and choose Effects > Digital Audio >
DC Offset from the menu. For optimal results press Suggest and then OK
after the ideal values are calculated. Running this on just part of a
recording can introduce clicks at the beginning and ending of the selected
region.
3. If your recording sounds a little too quiet, you have a few different
options. You can select Effects ? Digital Audio ? Normalize which will
make certain that you have the hottest possible signal. If you have a
recording with numerous pauses though (such as a vocal track) you may find
that the noise levels increase along with your vocal. Other options are:
* Re-record the passage with your recording levels a little higher.
* Select Effects > Digital Audio > Compressor/Noise Gate to remove
noise from silent passages. (Available in Deluxe Edition only)
4. If the recording sounds uneven with some points much louder than others,
select Effects > Digital Audio > Compressor/Noise Gate and use the
Compressor or Limiter functions to smooth out your recording.
5. Finally, if your recording has a great deal of pauses and empty space,
it is best to delete these spaces. Record Producer will remember where
the active sections are supposed to start and end and display a silent
line (at 0%) in a different color. This will allow your song to take up
much less hard disk space.
To delete these unnecessary spaces, either select the range and select
Edit > Delete, or you can run the Noise Gate function (Effects > Digital
Audio > Compressor/Noise Gate) with very low settings to remove the pauses
automatically.
