You may not be able to easily overdub with this mixer. I don't think you can use Tape-In. Investigating this problem is difficult because it appears this mixer is no longer produced and eBay doesn't offer instruction material. External USB soundcards have "zero latency monitoring" where th...

I like your voice and performance. So we're over 90% of the way home.

maybe it's coming from the USB cable or the fact that the cable is too close to the power cord running out of my booth. You can't extend USB cables. If you got further than the normal six feet or so single cable, then that could cause problems. Do Not go through a USB hub or splitter. That's not as...

you need to install the Behringer drivers (not rely on the automatic Windows drivers when it finds the Behringer) OK, so that's a danger sign right there. The two Behringer preamps (UM2 and UMC22) should need no special drivers to work. I forget what the phrase is, but they are "class complian...

wave the SM58 around. I found two "studio" problems this way. The separate power supply brick for my sound mixer hums when I get the microphone too close. Good to know. The bass cabinet for my performance music system doesn't go off when I turn it off, and it hums in the background while ...

Oh, when I got done with the tricks, I was able to make the performance squeak by ACX conformance with no noise reduction.

Step one. DanTestPost.wav Screen Shot 2018-06-22 at 21.40.52.png The SM58 is a legacy microphone notable for not overloading in the face of some very famous people screaming into it. It has "gentle" volume which is causing some of your low volume issues. The UM2 is not a gift from the ange...

Audacity doesn't easily accept ASIO software, so whatever you did went right by Audacity. But that's not to say nothing happened. If you regularly record a 2i2 in mono, the latest change may force a 6dB reduction in volume. It's one of the shortcomings of using a stereo interface (2i2) to record mon...

Which three-number Audacity are you using? The latest one, 2.2.2, defaults to adding a new track at the end of the old one. Earlier versions didn't do that. It basically reverses Record and Shift-Record. If one doesn't do what you want, use the other. You can also pause (P), flip the cassette over a...

I have close to300 LPs to download

I would probably stop using "upload" and "download." That makes it sound like you are transferring music from several time zones away through servers and an internet connection.

You are capturing or plain recording.
