Before and after are the same clip.

I have an X2U and I would not buy another one. It suffers from low volume and higher than I would like noise (hiss) level. It does have high-end features. It will supply 48 volt phantom power, it does not suffer from the dreaded USB whine sound and it supports a headphone connection. The ACX people ...

'Taint that easy. As I commented to a friend in a different venue, the tough cases show up wanting to crank out audiobooks with the same budget as a venti half-decaf cappuccino.

Skype likes to take over the sound services in your machine and it doesn't much care whatever else is going on. It's very common to only be able to record one Skype voice an...

Alesis Linelink USB audio interface I know you're chomping at the bit, but you should probably mention purchases here before you make them so we don't have multiple people working at cross purposes. I use the Behringer UCA202 USB interface because it not only adapts your work, but it gives you a re...
