Conerters
Alot has to do with converters, mainly that more than sample rate or bit depth. But if you cant get better converters or you do have some try these extra tips...
1. try to plug the virus directly into you souncard with no other equitment between them.
2. set the volume of you virus parts to as loud as possible before distortion. I use part volume aswell as patch volume.
3. if your soundcard converters have different impedences (-10, +4) try them, you may find that -10 is better. Bob Katts points this out - some manufactures match the digital 0-zero point with the clipping point of the input circuitry, it looks good on paper except that last bit of transient is probably distorted. Headroom it the key.
4. try a pre-amp. Again a realy good one and not a Behringer or the like.
5. (my fav), don't record you virus parts as waves ever!, just use the analog summing with your sound cards in a mixer when your doing your final mix.
