Re: Windows 8 Audacity poor quality playback

Skype is better recorded with an application like Pamela that is meant explicitly for recording Skype. Recording both sides of a Skype call in high quality is not for the easily frightened. Skype resets the computer's sound services to suit itself and doesn't let go. If you let Skype "snooze&q...

Re: Crackle in bass when recording from USB mixer

decent USB mixer. Make and Model Numbers are good. Bass is pretty classic for creating overload distortion. The blue waves are huge, usually the largest, most powerful waveform in the system. Now we get to figure out where it's getting killed. After you tell us all about the mixer, how are you gett...

Re: Skipping issues on playback

If he's famous enough, this won't be his first time. Does it skip in exactly the same place each time?

If it's erratic, then the ...

Re: USB audio capture device

Oh, if it's a cassette player, you can do much better and probably cheaper with the Behringer — assuming you like your cassette player. Stand-alone cassette players and turntables tend to be awful.

Re: USB audio capture device

Do you think that it would work if I use the old ADS box with the new Audacity software? Does "The Old ADS Box" has a model number or any other information? Are you obsessive enough to have kept the instructions or receipt? If it's a plain USB stereo sound adapter, I don't see any reason ...

Re: Samson C01U - White noise and low sound

We ran into another problem with USB microphones a while back. Someone discovered a driver or some combination of system software that made a huge difference in the performance of the microphone. All you need is a "handle" on the characteristics of the analog portion of the mic (a physical...
