Audacity Forum

Hi Steve What can I say but Thank You for your time and trouble and two very informative posts. I hope that some other users also benefit from them. For myself, I am going to have to read your post again to be sure that I understand the implications of your posts for my own recordings. Let's hope it...

Hi Steve On reflection and re-reading your post I can see that there is no real benefit in 24bit recording of Vinyl/tape especially as I am prepared to live with the inherent limitations of older recordings. I do have a last request. What role does the sampling rate have when recording at 16bits. Th...

Hi Steve, Just to close this thread, what is your view of the M-Adio Audiophile 2496 PCI card. I have a spare slot in my desktop which is a Vista 64 OS with Quadcore Intel processor and 4GB of RAM and I have spare storage. I found quite a few discussions on this card and in one thread you intimated ...

Hi Steve, Thanks for a very informative response. I now have a much better understanding. It also confirms my suspicion that the 24bit recordings using an Edirol UA-1EX or the Cakewalk UA-1G are probably software upgrades of the 16bit output from the ADC similar to the 24bit recordings in Audacity s...

Hi Waxcylinder, My question about the 24bit recording using the UA-1EX comes as a result of this post by Steve on 1 Aug 2010 http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9477&start=30 when he says: "It may be worth mentioning here that although Audacity does not currently support 24 bit record...

Hi Waxcylinder Many Thanks for your trouble. I am in a small town on the north Canadian prairies and I prefer shopping with suppliers who can deliver from Canada to eliminate the costs and delays of customs. A few electronics suppliers have depots here. I saw the Amazon USA site but Amazon CA does n...

Hi Waxcylinder Thanks for the info. Yes the Edirol UA-1EX was apparently discontinued some time ago and I cannot find a new one to buy. The Edirol UA-1G has also been discontinued and is replaced by the UA 101 which does not seem to be what I want. I have found a new UA-1G but am waiting for the sup...

Thanks for that response Koz, it makes sense. So I guess I will be shopping for an Edirol UA-1Ex again.

Hi Koz I have just read your last post. I listen using excellent earphones with sound sourced from an excellent soundcard (see my previous posts) and accept that the limitations of just listening and have seen many clips/test reports on the falacies of listening tests but I am doing this just for my...

Thanks Steve and Waxcylinder for your feedback. It is perhaps time to try the Edirol again. My main problems at the time were with ASIO and I have learned much about set-up since then. I have just completed three recordings of one side of an LP. I set my line in and stereo settings on the soundcard ...
