Project: copy vinyl on laptop with at least 24/96 quality "24/96" meaning 24 bit, 96000 Hz sample rate. These numbers are not synonymous with "high quality sound". 24 bit PCM format provides a dynamic range of around -144dB. Sadly there are no sound cards this good - not even pr...

I can wait

Thinking about brown noise and the impossibility to predict the peak output level, I was wondering how much damage would be done by constraining the sample values. Clipping brown noise to a specified range has quite a bad effect on the sound, but what about if peaks that drift beyond the target leve...

When you record, do you get a wiggly blue waveform display as shown on this page: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audio_tracks.html

However there are less digital artifacts if you use a lower sample rate ... That's because lower sample rate has a lower frequency bandwidth. At 44.1 kHz (44100 Hz) sample rate, the highest possible audio frequency is 22050 Hz. At 22050 Hz sample frequency the highest possible audio frequency is 11...

1) a small modification of Repair.cpp as explained above. I've tried that - it works fine. As far as I can tell the "128" limit is arbitrary, though as Gale mentioned it becomes rather too slow if increased by much. Programmers tend to have a preference for "round" numbers, but ...

I didn't know StereoMix carried a negative tag One of the biggest problems for the old XP style sound system (Stereo Mix / What U Hear / play-through of the input signal to the output....) was laptop computers. If there is a built-in mic and built-in speakers, then it would be easy to cause a "...
