But what takes place when my UA-1g digitizes my cassette music at 44.1, yet Audacity records it at 96000? Should I set Audacity to 44.1 also? If you record a 44100 Hz sample rate source with Audacity set to 96000 Hz, Audacity will "resample" the audio to 96000 Hz. This does not improve th...

"Bit rate" refers to compressed file formats such as MP3, AC3, Ogg, and so on. For best quality, don't export in a lossy format - stick with WAV, AIFF or FLAC. ("WAV" is the default, and is almost universally supported by other applications, players and so on). CD quality is 16 b...

Firstly, latency compensation is only important if you are making overdub recordings. Is that what you are doing? Secondly, when making overdub recordings, the latency test should be performed using the recording input that you will be recording with. The latency for "What U Hear" or "...

Plot Spectrum is accurate in what it does, but interpreting the results can be tricky. If you are interested in the gory details, Plot Spectrum performs FFT analysis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform) on the selected audio, which spits out a list of numbers that represent the amp...
