Re: Distortion level indicators - absent...

<<<I'm not on a Mac so I can't test>>> I'm not any more, either. I'm visiting my sister and her PC on the other corner of the country. Four time zones to the right. I was using that as an example.

Re: Recording audio from MSN and Skype chat videos

It's painfully elaborate. In order to guarantee communication success -- remember the software is simulating a telephone, not a ratty computer -- Skype has to grab the computer sound services by the huevos and not let go for the duration of the call. It has to manage sound correctly, clearly, with n...

Re: Distortion level indicators - absent...

<<<A sample value has reached +/- 1.0>>> We may need to get a lot higher granularity than that. "1.0" was designed because it's easier to deal with than 100%. 100% was designed for people who couldn't handle 0dBFS. 0dBFS is an abstract so people could deal with a digital value of.......wha...
