The main advantage of USB microphones for use with PCs is that they include their own "sound card" (the conversion to digital is done inside the microphone). This means that they totally bypass the built in sound card. PC sound cards are optimised for the best playback quality at the lowes...

Increasing the number causes a longer pause before it loops back, but decreasing the number has no effect. A good way to test is with a constant sine tone. Press "Z" before creating the label (so that the loop points are at zero crossing points). This should loop seamlessly (play as a cons...

Thanks for posting the details - that has immediately ruled out quite a few possibilities. I suspect that Windows 7 has helpfully loaded the drivers and disabled recording from the device (yes it frequently does that). Go into the Windows Control Panel and in the Recording tab of the "Sounds&qu...

I am trying to increase the bass effects. If you want to "increase" the bass effect (having already applied it once) just apply it again. Take care not to make the waveform too big - if it goes beyond the top/bottom of the track the sound will distort. To prevent that from happening you m...
