My question: which procedure do you use to get an ideal and acceptable soundquality of your compositions and how do you monitor that?
Hi, I'm struggling getting the ideal soundquality of my recorded songs.
Momentairly I follow these steps:
0. Hardware: Genos with the original GNS-MS01 speakers. I have set the Master EQ as described in this forum as so called 'Golden EQ'. The subspeaker's volume is at 15H and the bassvolume is at 14H.
1. I record my song on Genos using Midi Multi Recording
2. Then I use Audio Multirecording.
3. Then I export the audio to my USB-stick for WAV-format.
Till now, all sounds well when I playback the song.
4. I use Audacity to convert WAV to MP3 (standard 170-210 kbps quality)
When I listen to the song now, I can hear that the quality slightly decline. The separate instruments are more dificult to hear. But when I have upload it to Soundcloud and listen throught my headphone (Mobile and Laptop) it seems that the bass/low sound are disappeared, or is it OK on your speaker-setup?
For your info: the song I talk about is one I recently placed in the Members area. For your convenience the link to that song is:

I.e. should I directly record to my PC? Or are the steps above acceptable? Is a further finetuning, i.e. with Audacity, recommended or could that be done in or with the Genos inside?
I wouldn't be surprised that I have overlooked a lot with 'recording and mastering', as I'm in a learning curve getting to know the Genos and recording.
I hope that some advices can help me into the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
regards Ton.
