Re: unable to record mic + speaker at same time

In short words, you're trying to record Skype or other conference call. Those are best recorded with software designed to do that. Even if you succeed, it may not stay succeeded. Skype likes to mess with sound settings on its own whether you want it to or not. Normal computers only have two sound ch...

Re: Noise when using Powered USB Hub to connect Audio Interf

We stopped recommending powered hubs for USB devices/microphones because they can cause more entertaining troubles than they solve. Some hubs "know" they they're connected to a computer by the DC in the cable. We know this,because many hubs automatically switch to computer power if you los...

Re: PQ coding?

I can see where some method must be found to tell the lathe to make different pitch tracks between songs. That's the visual clue where to drop the needle when you want to start at the beginning of a song. Given "doing it manually" is a nasty word in business (I'm sure that's how it used to...

Re: Distorted, flickering sound in playback, using windows 8

Re: record vocal+guitar with 2 mics, mixer & laptop on audac
