You can get that by having difficult USB connections. If you have a connection that's just hanging on buy thin threads, the music can succeed or fail with humidity of the room and whether or not it's Thursday. Unplug and replug each USB connection two or three times and you may need to restart the c...

Windows makes this as difficult as possible by hiding most filename extensions from you and assuming all music files are Windows Media files.

I want to thank you for providing enough specific information to allow us to get right down to useful recommendations. We sometimes get postings from people who want to record "stuff" and with no more information than that and the type of computer, we get to choose from the millions of mic...

<<<is a music file from a cd.>>> You need to be really careful about the words here. Did you rip the music from a commercial Music CD, or did somebody hand you a data CD with a music file on it?

If you followed the instructions about how to record from the internet, you set up your Windows Control Panel to record the sound pathways internal to the computer.

Live performances easily overload camcorders and sometimes professional recorders as well. Overload, clipping or flat-topping is pretty much fatal. You ca...

I think the problem with this request is that it's being presented to two groups; Newbies who are up to their eyeballs figuring out how all this stuff works, and Oldbies who know how all this stuff works and are up to their eyeballs in actual work. Plus, I bet I'm the only one on the forum that's ev...

And just a note that changing a microphone volume slightly during a performance with a mixer and microphone is no problem at all, it's a Big Deal with a USB microphone. The first time you notice you have sound levels that could use work is the time you stop everything, adjust the levels and start th...
