Sometimes it's best to just stop trying to use the computer to record sound. That's not popular, but if neither of us can resolve this problem, that does work.

please help all my recordings are destroyed like this I'm so frustrated.

What's the show? Why are we doing this?

Koz

Oh, I get it. You want to record sound playing on the computer.

I'm not sure that's entirely clear. Noise and Breathing are different and performance sound is from you, not the computer or the room. How are you recording the work? Is it a duplicate of the way you produced the original work? Was the original work done professionally and you're cleaning it up from...

My guess is you can't do four-track with this mixer. If you look at one top-to-bottom microphone strip, there is no provision to assign a microphone other than the PAN control—Left to Right. There is no assign a microphone to USB-1 for example. Also, there is no analog send 3 and 4, and there are on...

plugging the line-in in the mobo's built in line-in port produced input from only one channel. Let's pause right there. Where is the sound coming from? It's unusual for a sound channel cross to give you Right. Do you have the 1/8" cable plugged all the way in? Either this: http://www.kozco.com...
