Whenever somebody has questions about rare or odd hardware, the best we can do is present the options and tools for you to use. Nobody is going to buy that motherboard just to answer the question, further, most people, even if they do have that motherboard, want to reduce latency to zero, not tune i...

You may not be able to export a WAV of the show. Something that long will create a WAV over 5GB and I believe the limit is either 2GB or 4GB.

Long performances -- essentially surveillance recordings -- are magic. You run into many computer limitations and nasty surprises.

You can also try posting as a FLAC instead of WAV. FLAC is a lossless compression technique.

I can't find the original posting. We decided the most melodious tone for miking a guitar was x number of feet/meters away from some specific place on the instrument. At least for that instrument in that room with that microphone. I do have some new performances. The moons and stars lined up and we ...

This is the version... Screen shot 2010-08-25 at 10.35.22 PM.png This is the first show. The one with the Lithuanian characters. Screen shot 2010-08-25 at 10.39.18 PM.png This is the second show.

Very cool! I always wondered what would happen if someone did that instead of all those fancy wires. You do have a microphone. It's a little thing behind the grill just to the left of the "fn" key if you're on a 15" MacBook Pro. So don't cover that up with your hand while you're recor...

You set all of these tools by guess on a representative sample of the show and pray the rest of the show doesn't change too much. A Live Performance is working against you here, again.

Tools that claim to find all the silences in a performance are frequently wrong.

Truncate Silence, or Steve's Noise Gate? Truncate Silence will smash the last note of song one into the first note of song two. Is that what you want?

Steve's Noise Gate reduces background noise to a very low value or zero. It leaves the performance timing alone.

<<<In other words, if it says "5.3", then the peak level in the selection is -5 dBFS.>>> Emphasize peaks . It does not tell you the volume of the show. If somebody drops a pencil loudly in the middle of the performance this tool will tell you the electrical value of the pencil impact. Noth...

<<<There must be a more accurate way.>>> Oddly, there isn't. Conversations about performance volume feature words like "approximately" and "about." I would be doing exactly what you're doing. It gets worse. Even if you get used to interpreting the bouncing lights, that tells you ...
