I am using the 1.2.6 because the download site said the newer version was for advanced users. Yes we kind of wish they could lose that labelling and the "unstable" warning. In fact 1.3 is now in its very late stages of development, fairly mature and heading towards Release Candidate statu...

... the bit about connecting my regular good old trusty Technics analog pick-up, earthed to my PC chassis. Hi Mike, glad you found a way to get it all working. A quick additional note on connecting a turntable to a PC: unless the TT itself has a built in phono preamp delivering line level output, t...

Yes but .... 128 is normally regarded as the minimum acceptable quality for audio and 64 for spoken work. Below that you will undoubtedly get digital artefacts - it will sound bubbly/gargly (viz. the many, many posts on this forum discussing this). Even my old ears can hear the difference between 12...

You also mentioned a 'USB Soundcard'. What is that exactly? Its just a soundcard like the one inside your laptop - but it lives outside your computer and is connected to the laptop via a USB plug - and normally has RCA sockets for the audio input (and output). Being outside the laptop it is likely ...

My diagnosis, from your testing, is that it it is a fault in the wiring of the USB services or the ADC inside your TT.

1. In-line audio effects. I'm sure you get this request a lot. But it is essential for mastering. I need to be able to stack up several VST effects at the same time, and I need to be able to tweak the knobs on any/all of them, at the same time, *while the audio is playing*. For example, see how Wav...

So can you not use iTunes playlists to link all the required tracks together in the right order (of course not using the shuffle function on the iPod).

When I type in the name of a song I've recorded the Z character on my keyboard doesn't work. This is a bug/feature in 1.2.x - IIRC it's becuase the z was used as a k/b shortcut I have to substitute another letter in the label and then do a rename in Explorer. And you have already discovered the wor...

Can't comment about how it works on Vista as I run XP on both my machines.

Just tested on my XP-HE m/c and the second track records fine - while playing the first track at the same time.

You do have both the Overdub and the Sofware Playthrough checked ?
