RE: [microsound] cello distorted on playback . eq help needed

[Eloy Anzola <eloy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Like Bill points out, you want to make sure iTunes EQ,
Sound Enhancer and Sound Checker are turned off.

If they are off and you still hear the distortion it
may have to do with your volume setting on the various
devices. A general rule to avoid distortion is to use
a lower volume -- less gain -- at the source.

A very basic example...

 - iTunes Vol set at 3
 - Mac vol set at 5
 - Amp connected to AirportXPr set at 7

Also, if using EQ in your mix or master try to cut rather
than to boost. 

It is very difficult to mix and master acoustic instruments,
there is no way to force a listener to the settings we
would like, so the most basic -- emphasis on basic --
suggestion is to lower your mix a bit so that it works on
most popular settings.

hope this helps and all is well,
cheers,

Eloy
