Recording Latency as opposed to Machine Latency. All Recording Latency Correction does is effectively play your click track to you well ahead of time so the live performance arrives on the drive in good time instead of well behind which is where the machine would normally want to put it. Anything th...

We get postings that are very secretive about wanting to "clean up" a sound file and later it turns out they're trying to sue their landlord or ex-wife. We can't do forensics no matter what it's used for. Koz

There are two places to set it, Windows Control Panels and Audacity Preferences. Do they match? Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices > Playback > Device. Do you get any other error like "Unable to open device...?" Are you using a USB microphone and does it start working if you unplug it...

Which Tascam have you got? They don't all accept outside microphones. Koz

You are probably overloading the built-in Tascam microphone. Rock Bands are very difficult to record. The bass guitar will destroy most microphones at Club Volume. You can measure the bass performance on earthquake meters. The grownups do this by using a separate, very robust microphone and putting ...

Are you doing it by using the Overdubbing system we described? This will produce two separate tracks, the music and you.

That's nearly the broadcast version, except you need to stop recording Stereo Mix. In your current config, that will always give you your voice and music premixed. So both sides record their own microphone (Line-In in your case) and that will produce a very high quality local voice for each location...

Briefly, I have one machine playing back music/effects and recording the finished show. That's the two major natural sound pathways. One in and one out. The other machine manages Skype. This seemed to be a graceful way to split the tasks. Everything goes through the mixer. You want a louder Skype, y...

I noticed significant problems with the display. I put a known audio clip in and I didn't get anything I thought I could use for diagnostics. The answer is the tool is intentionally "crippled" in order to use minimum resources and complete at reasonable time. You can greatly increase the q...
