Most Windows laptops will not handle a High Level, Stereo show from a sound mixer. That's one of the things that got left off when they made a Windows Business Computer. All Windows machines are business machines whether they say "Entertainment Edition" or not. You can do this with most la...

<<<The graph that shows up looks fancy enough, but I have no clue how to correctly use it.>>> Graph? This is my blank look. You must have the more modern patched version.

Both Normalize and Amplify change the Whole Show At Once so that the one loud peak goes to a set voltage level (i...

It's more exciting than that. If you have an Intel machine running OS-X 10.5 or later, there is no stable 1.2 any more. Apple > About This Mac > Processor and Version.
