6 – CLEAN / CLEAN PLUS
As a record can only provide ca. 60 dB, your sound card will most probably
be sufficient to produce good recordings on your PC. You should still only
use ca. 85% of the theoretically possible recording level. This way, you do
not run the risk to produce ugly sounding digital distortions caused by a too
high level; or undesired noise, if you record more than 60 dB. These un-
wanted effects only make the work of the restoration algorithms harder and
increase the deep-frequency rumble noise of the record player.
The hunt for the optimum level
One obstacle for many audio recordings on the computer is finding the right
level adjustments. Sound cards do not always offer a reliable level display. In
order to make the best possible setting for your system, you should use the
same methods that are used in a professional recording studio:
Use test signals with an exactly defined level of 0 dB to adjust the wave
channel and master levels of your sound card as well as that of other possi-
bly used devices like DAT, MD or cassette recorders.
In the Calibrate directory on the CLEAN CD you can find the files 1kHz
Tone.wav, 10 kHz Tone.wav, 80 Hz Tone.wav and 100 Hz Tone.wav. These
sound files contain pure sinusoidal signals with an exact level of 0 dB.
Attention: The Test tones are very loud! Make sure that volume is reduced to a
minimum on your monitoring system before you load and play back any of
these tones. Do so to take care of your speakers, your ears and the good rela-
tions to your neighbours.
You can use the cycle playback feature in CLEAN for continuous playback,
then you don’t have to start playback again and again.
While playing back one of the test tones, you can adjust the level of your
complete system. First, you should use the Output faders in CLEAN to set
the output volume in a way that your sound card does not overload.
The Windows MME driver only lets you control the output volume if your sound
card has a software Mixer panel.
You can also record the test tone with your DAT, MD or cassette recorder,
if your sound card is connected to a stereophonic sound system. Use the in-
put controls of these devices to set them to a maximum input of 0 dB. You
should not change these settings later.
Have fun applying CLEAN to your favourite music.
