Audacity Forum

Aha! When I try WASAPI, the actual record device does not show up - just a bunch of loopbacks. So I check manual and dimly understand I have to select the computer playback device and control volume through that. However, even with vol on the PC speaked audio channel turned right down, the recorded ...

I tried last DirectSound last night (I had previously done 3 or 4 with MME). While monitoring via Audacity / PC jack, I noticed some skipping and the occasional click. (Is that heading in the right direcion, Koz <g>?) However, on playback of the Audactity project, recording was fine. I'll try WASAPI...

Audacity 2.0.6, .exe, Windows 7 Pro
I noticed the three interfaces. I read the FAQ and found MME gives widest compatibility. If my USB (Behringer) works OK with all three interfaces, which one is "best"? The latest? Or does it matter? Application is just recording from cassette tape. Thanks.

Thanks steve, robert. Robert is really up to date: http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-support-flac-audio-format but I read it here on this thread first! (and as an ex-hippy, love the album MS chose to illustrate the story with). Thanks for the clarification on Audacity as backup - looks like I...

@robert - if Windows 10 really does support flac natively, that will solve a major problem for me. My Marantz does not support lossless wma, so I located and installed the codec pack that adds flac to Windows Media Player and that works fine in playback but does not allow WMP to transcode to lower b...

Thanks for that tip - I will experiment with that if a similar issue arises.

I have Audacity 2.0.6, .exe installer and Windows 7 Pro. I am using Audacity (many thanks) to record some old audio cassettes (and will do LPs later). I am getting to grips with it (thanks to help on this forum) and although much much more complex than I need (I am a simple user with a simple task :...

I tried a different approach (having read a bit of the manual). I separated the tracks into L & R and then re-ran normalise. That seemed to allow the "low" track to come up a bit (only as measured by eye on the graph - not scientific, I know). This may have been a misinterpratation by me as I wasn't...

I had a quick search and the Behringer 202 does seem to have a Burr Brown chip from the same series mentioned by steve http://www.bootic.com/behringer/electronics/audio/audio-players-and-recorders/multitrack-recorders/behringer-uca202-u-control It's the onle A/D I have (other than the mic in on the ...

Thanks Gale, Yes, if I change the level in Audacity, the record level varies accordingly. And the level reported by Audacity, gets followed by the level reported by Windows - that is, if i set 0.04 in Audacity, the Microphone recording level in Windows is 4. I just checked - leaving Microphone Level...
