Re: Can't select USB Audio Codec

They're always connected one at a time. I first encountered the problem (this time) with the Tape Express. I disconnected it, connected the turntable -- same problem.

Re: Can't select USB Audio Codec

I'm trying to use Ion devices -- a USB turntable and the Ion Tape Express. I've used the turntable for years, quite a bit in the last couple of months. I haven't yet used the Tape Express successfully, and now the turntable doesn't work either -- both flatline in Audacity (although if I bump them, t...

Can't select USB Audio Codec

I seem to have lost the USB Audio Codec driver. I redownloaded it (from Cnet). Installation went fine. However, it doesn't show up in Control Panel. How do I find it, add it, select it -- whatever?? I'm on Windows 7, Audacity 2.0.0.

Thanks.

Re: Seem to be recording in mono

How do I go about applying the VR tool to that clip? And what is 'vocal removal'? Sorry to sound so dumb. I'm not an audiophile (my field is IT).

Thanks again!

Re: Seem to be recording in mono

Yes, your voice was correct in the audio file (at least for left, right, and center; I'm not sure what 'out of phase' is; it sounded different). I forgot to mention that I *do* have Audacity set to '2 (Stereo) input'. And, yes, my tape deck is plugged into the turntable -- it says '1/8" stereo input...

Seem to be recording in mono

I have Audacity 2.0.0 on Windows 7, installed from the .exe installer. When recording from my ION USB TT, I can never see any difference in the wafeform for the L and R tracks, regardless of how much I zoom in. Ditto for recording from a tape (tape player hooked up to the TT). I'm testing this using...

Re: Noise while transferring via USB

Never mind about the first question in my previous post -- the one about not having any playthrough sound. It was a Control Panel setting that I had been playing with. That's OK now.

Thanks!

Re: Noise while transferring via USB

Got a new USB cable. Didn't seem to make any difference. However, I downloaded the latest version of Audacity, 1.3 Beta (I guess I've upgraded to Windows 7 since I last used it), and the noise problem seems to have gone away. However, I have two new problems/questions: (1) I can't hear anything whil...

Re: Noise while transferring via USB

Just got back to this. Turning the gain down certainly helps, but there's still a lot of noise. Here's what I've discovered since my last post; hopefully, it will help someone point me in the right direction. I'm not sure what some of these controls at the top of the screen are called, so I'll have ...
