reverb effect in the Voice Over I am trying to capture. Try turning off Windows (and sound card) effects and enhancements http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements . Also make sure you are recording from line-in in Device Toolbar ( http://manual.audacityte...

non-linear gain Thanks, Steve. This will have to be all explained in course of time to mere mortals (non-audio-engineers). Can you define "non-linear gain" concisely as part of that? Googling doesn't produce anything very usable. So, are we saying http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/fi...
