Audacity Forum

Connect the mic to the mic preamp using an XLR cable. Connect the line output (I'm guessing it's what they call main mix output) of the preamp to one of the line level inputs of the tascam. Read on the manuals of each equipment the kind of connectors you need, but it's probably two male jack connect...

After some quick googling I also found this very old thread: http://www.podcastalley.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133130 And also this post, which is a reply to a somewhat different problem, but the explanation might help you understand better how it works: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?me...

There is!

The usb headset might not support the sample rate you're trying to play.

Are you using a laptop with a built-in mic? Make sure you selected the...

Yes I understood what you meant before. Here goes a somewhat more technical explanation of what may be happening... Before going digital, when you still have an analog signal, you have electrical tensions and currents going on the wires that connect the mic to the sound card. Typical values vary dep...

That's the behaviour I'm experiencing here too. Audacity 1.3.12.

On the export dialog make sure you select "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 bit PCM" from the format drop down menu.
