cheapstuff soundcard hardware

realtek is software
should not be causing this

the card was bad in my pc
may be bad in yours too
looks like a hardware problem

mine kept moving around
if yours is steady
use the dc offset to fix it

some sort of average or rms would be a good guide to how much compression is needed / desirable

the amplify tells us already how much gain we can apply

make this the second vote for an rms feature
maybe just add it as info to the amplify/normalis/and compress that exist

Here's another option - perhaps a bit pricey, but good reviews, particularly for ease of use, sound quality and manufacturers support. http://www.brennan.co.uk/ it looked good but very pricey but the specs seem to indicate they have some heavy compression applied ten cds take 1G of HD (eg 320G == 3...

or will it just pad out the 16bits with zeros or ones to make 24/32???

give me another clue
no idea what that factory is
how does that relate to audacity ??

you might do better contacting the vendor/maker
checking out an analog factory forum
or try the many general audio forums that cover everything

thanks , sort of
last time i read that topic
it was double talk

how about somebody, anybody, giving a straight answer in english

i know what that thread *** claims ***
but i see other forum on the net that say otherwise

i would like to see a valid explanation not just claims

anybody ???????

you need a line in
which is high level

trying to use low level mike in
will lead to problems if it works at all

A very small and dumb computer, that can just manage the job of imitating a jukebox, in the smallest possible footprint with the least power consumption. ... no we didnt you now ...
