Normal
neil...one thing you have got to make sure is that you dont have the input too loud, this will make it sound really bassy and give a generally shite rip. In soundforge, check out the peak levels on the right hand side and adjust your soundcard's line in so that only the main beat comes anywhere near the top of the indicator. Normalizing will cure some of this but if there is too much shite there in the first place it will still sound crap. Try a few times with the same tune until you are happy with the levels in the final mp3 and you know what kind of levels to look for in soundforge.hope that helpsjonny
