Audacity Forum

I have installed Audacity on our church computer and am running the mikes and such through a Mackie 1604-VLZ Pro mixing
board and the sound that I get out of the computer after the recording is done sounds like the pastor is talking in to a drum. A very hollow sound. I've changed inputs outputs mixer feeds and settings and it does not seam to change. Am I missing something or what?

Can we assume it sounds fine with headphones plugged into the mixer?

Chances are the Windows machine is recording the performance more than once and the slight delay is creating the distortion. You need to dig around inside the Windows Control Panels and see if you can figure out what happened. You can get into trouble by recording Mix Out rather than or in addition to the Line-In.

You are using Line-In on a Deskside computer, right? Trying to use a Laptop computer for this can cause problems, too.
