Audacity Forum

I am running a mic and guitar through an external mixer and then line level out through an "ICICLE" into a USB. (Win 7 32 bit) I split this from http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=62328. Please help us by starting a new topic with a meaningful subject like the one I pr...

What are you trying to measure or test for?

Are you using Audacity 1.2 (the board you posted to)?

I have windows 7 (64 bit) and audacity 1.3.13. I can import wav files and record guitar through the line in and mic jacks v...

Thanks, Steve.

And I think there is Alsa-Utils in Ubuntu 11.x as well which has an "alsaloop" module for hardware playthrough? Is that preferable/has less latency than pulse loopback?

Diluvium's regular skips are probably associated with the moment when Audacity writes one of its small .au audio block files. Virus scanners are commonly to blame for that. Paul, did you also try everything in: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Managing_Computer_Resources_and_Drivers ? Why do you ne...

Software Playthrough is commonly reported to cause problems when using Pulse (or Jack) and it certainly causes problems on my machine, but I don't think that Software Playthrough is ever actually needed when using PulseAudio as routing can be done through PulseAudio. Given Audacity sets Audio to Bu...
