Even if you do go the full mixer route, the need for a quiet room only goes down about 2%. Each wall and floor echo is going to be picked up by two microphones now, doubling the room noise. If you do go for a sound mixer, know ahead of time clearly how you're going to connect it to the computer. You...

Windows 10 is not a Windows Upgrade. It's a whole new system, so hardware, software and drivers have to be Windows 10 Compliant and they have to say so. Somewhere in your software updates has to be the Win10 drivers and they should come from Lexicon, not the generic drivers from Microsoft. As above,...

Audacity gets its sound from Windows, not the Lexicon.

Right-click the speaker icon by the clock and check out the Windows Sound Control Panels. Is the Lexicon listed there and does the little green sound meter jump?

It's something of a common theme that nobody hears these problems on first pass, and sometimes multiple passes. So unless a paying client hears them, you're good to go.

Do you remember buying "AppleCare" when you bought your Mac? Are you close to an Apple Store? You appear to be having serious Mac machine problems. That's those reset instructions. These aren't beginner problems and you may have show problems later if you don't resolve them. Do you know so...

get a different mic and a proper set up. It bothers me not knowing what's causing the problem. You have no guarantee you're not bringing the problem forward into the new studio. It's most concerning that in a multiple pass test the problem comes and goes. I meant to say up the thread if I didn't, i...

In seldom cases, drift between the two AD's is so bad that core audio can't fix it. Didn't it ask you which microphone you wanted to use as the Master? What's why. The microphone you picked will come out in perfect time at the end of the show and the other will be wherever it drifted to. Last time ...

removing the metallic old sound and improving the quality. The metallic sound is a combination of permanent compression distortion and what is probably fake stereo processing permanent distortion. We're very clear that we can't take processing out of a performance. That's why we require voice perfo...

We can tell you how to try yourself. Run Audacity. File > Import and point to your song. Effect > Vocal Reduction and Isolation. Try it with the default settings. Vocal Reduction is not a sure thing. If your song fails or there is too much damage, then it may never work. You might look at buying a k...
