my system does not met system requirements of SUPER. Neither does mine (Pentium III 500MHz, 512 MB RAM), but it works fine for most things (though it gives a warning about that when you launch the program).

am capturing the audio from an Ion USB turntable, using the USB connection. But I think the USB input bypasses the soundcard? That is correct. Audio levels are frequently too high and I am getting some clipping, but lowering the input level via slider does not work. Audacity can not control the inp...
