Re: Click Noise When Press Playback

"USB Audio CODEC" is the UCA-202's USB name. The UCA-202 (and its cousins) are line-level, stereo (2-channel) devices. They take high volume (line-level, "one volt" audio signals) and adapt them to a digital bitstream. It doesn't have a microphone amplifier, volume control or any...

Re: How to isolate voice in a 2-mic setup

we do this by mouth-to-microphone distance Going back to the "Y" cable technique, there is no other way to set individual volumes, particularly if the performers like to talk over each other. How are you holding the microphones up? Short booms? Are the performers listening on headphones? ...

join the twin microphones with an XLR 'Y-cable' and then run them into a top-end laptop's USB input
You're missing a step. How did you get the XLR cable into the USB input? That step can cause major problems.

First step, you claimed to be on Windows 10 and you posted in the Mac forum. Which one's right?

Re: Smooth Out Peaks Over Long Time?

a noticeable mild "click" But if the envelope tool doesn't do it, you might try a video trick. Most video editors don't actually cut sound between portions of show. They can't. They have to cut on television frame boundaries and they would never match, so most of them do a one-frame (1/30...

Re: Need help interpreting mastering feedback from ACX

@Diane. You're not using RMS Normalize are you?

You're in that magic zone where it might create more problems than it cures by shifting to the new protocols.
