Re: Choosing Soundcard and Mic

Ultra Low Latency USB-2 drivers, but they don't say by who, and latency happens at the computer, not the preamp. Remember ASIO problems. That seems to do everything you want. You do need to know that it doesn't have two inputs. It has one-and-a-half. If you want to record from your cassette machine ...

Re: [Bug,1.3.9] Crash when using much RAM

<<<Only takes three minutes.>>> That's the quick version and that's per pass. You need multiple passes of the long version to turn up ratty hardware. I had one ratty stick, one bad power supply, and a damaged motherboard (on different computers). None of them failed on the first pass. Pass 15 - Gall...

Re: Choosing Soundcard and Mic

There's a whole range of USB microphones that have their own talents and shortcomings. They can work really well, but they have slightly low level and you can't ever get further than six feet away from the computer.

Re: Choosing Soundcard and Mic

Any of these look appetizing yet? They all come from a slightly different bias.

Re: Microphone Help

Or the software. M-Audio equipment uses ASIO software and that's not directly supported by Audacity because of licensing problems. You posted in a part of the forum where we can't tell anything about you. Microphone model numbers, type of computer, operating system and version, version of Audacity? ...

Re: Leveller effect adds distortion

Wellllll. OK, but it's a fine line difference. You can adjust a Volumax down and Leveler up and get precisely the same effect.

Re: Choosing Soundcard and Mic

That looks like a good idea. Do you have any personal experience of any kind with this device? Will you write a review?

Any words, any experiences.

Recombine into one Stereo Track. You may need to go to the end of the show and cut anything extra past the end of the perfo...

Re: playback is jumpy, spastic

Both audio and video productions stress computers. Audio Doesn't Wait. You can use an underpowered computer to compute huge spreadsheets and gaussian blur very large Photoshop pictures because the computer will just crank along, do dee do, until it finishes. Not so audio. If the computer isn't ready...
