There's no more elegant way to address computer capture. Stereo Mix (or whatever your machine calls it) conditions the whole of the audio playing on the computer and makes it available to the recording system. It defines feedback. Unfortunately, there's no standard way to do this and some machines l...

The only reason I'm not linking the record deck directly to computer is due to them being in different rooms. I would so figure out a way to get them in the same room.

Try selecting a whole track by clicking just above the MUTE button (on the left) and then Play. If you find yourself pressing Play a million times, just press the s...

I have looked at hundreds of postings and have not seen anything like this described or cured. I haven't either. What's common between the two computers? Are you recording with one on batteries and wifi in the back yard and the other by your wired desk in your office in the garage? Is it only one m...

(of course I saved through out the 3 hour session). How? Did you save as Show1, Show2, Show3, Show4, etc, or did you periodically press Save over the same single show? Given the three hour production and fifteen minute backups, you should be up to Show11 or Show12 each with a separate AUP file and ...
