Tinny Recording

(1/2) > >>

Arkle:
Can anyone tell me why my recordings (optical line in from Sat Tv) sound a little tinny with that "digital echo" almost like recording from a poor internet connection?

It's mild but it's there.

Any way to eradicate it?

Thanks,

Arkle

Llorean:
What do you mean by "Digital Echo"?

With an optical input, Rockbox records the exact bitstream you provide it. If you're getting funny sounding audio, test your output and your cable.

petur:
or maybe post a sample somewhere....

recording as WAV/MP3/Wavpack ?

Arkle:
It sounds like when I record from streaming and the quality isn't good you get a kind of echo sound - almost like the sound is coming down a tin pipe.  But it's mild and only dicernable through headphones - which of course I use often.

Thanks,

Arkle

Without listening to a sample some guesses:

Are you recording in mono or stereo? Mono recordings from
stereo TV sources often have phase problems that sound very tinny.

If your recording is stereo, try to play back just one channel.

Also, if you are recording into mp3, check the bit rate or do some
tests in wav-format.
