Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I use Wavelab extensively (almost daily for my "post" work), so maybe I 
can help.  Answers below:



I lost logic on a crash and am using wavelab, but it seems to come out at 
a rather low volume although in the wave view it appears to have very 
little room left. Are the top and bottom edges of the graph not the 
clipping points. Can I set a hard limit for recording or is it only for 
post recording processing?

>>>The output from the XX-7's can be a bit low, and as always you shoudl 
go by what you hear, versus what you see in wavelab.  That being said, I'm 
not sure what you mean by the "top and bottom edges of the graph".  Do you 
mean the waveform display, or are you referring to the FFT or peak meters? 
 As long as you're not clipping, you should be fine.  On question, are you 
recording digitally, or via the main analog outs?  What's your soundcard 
too? (ok, that's two questions) <<<

Also my e-mu requires much more volume through the mixer than other 
channels. I have to turn the gain all the way up on it and about half way 
down on my tables to even them put.

>>>Yeah, I find that when I use the XL-7 in my DJ sets, I need to crank 
the channel gains up all the way, probably twice as hot as the channels my 
tables are going through.  This is normal, after all the records you're 
listening to have been compressed many times, and most definitely squashed 
during mastering too, so they'll always be hotter than a direct out from 
the XX-7.  I find a compressor to be almost essential in helping the XX-7 
fit into a DJ set better, other wise when you go from records to the XX-7, 
the difference in sound is very noticeable, even at the same volumes. This 
is due to the fact that the signal from the XX-7 is much more dynamic than 
the records.

The only solution I've found (and what I'd do even if I wasn't using the 
XX-7 with myu DJ set up), is to layer up your drums with two percussion 
layers, and use the AmpVol in the Preset Edit menu too.  you can get a 
pretty hot signal that way.  Let me know if you need more info on this.
