Re: imput volume

For a start you need to upgrade to 1.3.11 - there is a bug in 1.3.10 which will bite you (when exporting multiple it rounds up each song to the next 5-second boundary - so you get a snippet of the start of the next song at the end of each one).

Re: voice "far" in mp3 audio file

No it absolutely isn't the case. You will be companding the MP3 compression damage. When you convert the MP3 to WAV, sure it becomes a "lossless" audio - but it still contains all the compression damage done in the initial MP3 compression - so the stuff that was thrown away in the compress...

Re: Problems with Windows 7

The sockets at the back are normally used for connecting a pair of speakers - the one on the front is conveniently placed for the more frequent plugging and unplugging of headphones.

Re: Help Please! Choosing best Interface for Windows 7, Auda

For a nice pair of small studio speakers I would recommend trying to get a pair of LS3/5A speakers. They were specced many years ago by the BBC for use in their portable recording studios - several manufacturers built them at the time, including Rogers. They are no longer made, so you would need to ...

Re: vinyl recording

Oops yes - missed that bit Bill :oops: What Bill means is that you need some pre-amplification to get the signal to the right level and to get the RIAA equalization applied. It is possible that your turntable is switchable to do this - if it offers line-level output in addition to phono - then switc...
