Re: Peak Level Distortion at Low Input Levels

<<<output I'm using is much too high for what is necessary>>> The only two graceful solutions I know of are to use your large deskside PC whose much larger sound card tends to have all the audio variations available including Line-In, and make good friends with someone who owns a Mac. PC and Mac mac...

Re: Peak Level Distortion at Low Input Levels

<<<Vista responds first by prompting you to select how the input is to be handled — line-input is what I selected.>>> If you dive for your laptop instruction book or on-line instructions, does it ever say in straight, uncomplicated English that the audio input will switch between Line and Mic? It's ...

Re: Peak Level Distortion at Low Input Levels

<<<What am I overlooking?>>> The Line-Out of a sound device is roughly 1000 times hotter than what a Mic-In connection is expecting. Also typically, Mic-In service has a fixed, high gain amplifier before the volume control. You get the best noise performance that way. So you're beating the crap out ...

Re: ENORMOUS NOISE PROBLEM

There is a data coordination problem between the USB device, the computer, and Audacity. Apparently. What this causes is an unstable system. It doesn't break right away, that would be too easy. If you read all the postings (search USB + Turntable) you come out with only one impression. There are no ...

Re: ENORMOUS NOISE PROBLEM

You join a very exclusive club. There can't be more than a couple of thousand other people all having the same problem. The universal Get Out Of Jail card is to transfer your vinyl using the analog cables. http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2259&p=8840&hilit=analog+cables...

Re: Return Audacity to First Birthday

<<<"Restore Factory Defaults" >>> That would take a good deal of the fun out of it. It would have to be a separate program, of course. The reason you're resetting the whole world is you think there is something wrong. If the broken program has the reset utilities on it....... I had a user ...

Return Audacity to First Birthday

In Mac land, you can return Audacity to Fresh Install, First Birthday by dragging a specific setup file to the garbage. I'm assuming you can't do that in Windows because the setup information is burned into The Dreaded Windows Registry. Stop me if I say anything wrong.
