Hello all,
I am more of a live sound guy, but I am working with a friend to master a
bunch of songs that were recorded with his fostex md recorder. I captured
all the songs on my pc as stereo .wav files @ 44.1 kHz. Basically all the
songs are muddy and missing dynamic range, practically all the mids are non
existant. I have a behringer stereo graphic eq as well as a aural exciter
that I believe would help. The problem is when I run the song through the eq
and/or exciter and re capture the .wav and burn to a cd the song pops. I
have changed cables, I am sure that the eq, exciter, console, and pc are not
peaking., also tried three different types of CD media. If I burn the
original .wav (not eq'ed) nothing pops. I am using a maudio delta1010 with
the most current drivers. Here is a general signal flow diagram of my setup:

PC USB out to fostex 1/4 stereo out to console to graphic aural
Exciter console subgrp 1+2 delta1010 in capture using sound fordge
5.

I have tried the eq and the exciter individually as well as reversed. I just
don't know what else to try except re-format my pc and hope for the best. I
would appreciate any suggestions or tips that anyone may have. Also let me
know if you need more info. Please remove "n0spamus" to email me directly.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Ian
