Audacity Forum

Hi

I am new to this forum and I am having problems with the above.

I recently purchased a new computer and installer audaciy beta and tried to record a mix from my decks last night using the UCA202. I did everything I did with my previous laptop and the sound quality was awaful. I have tried a few things this morning and if Iisted to the sound input through headphones attached to the UCA 202 then the sound quality is perfect, but if I stop recording and play back then it sound poor i.e too much bass, mid, high etc. I have turned the gains right down and the bass to zero and it sounds ok but I never had to do this with my previous laptop and I could leave the gains at a normal level.

I am not a expert with audaicty so anyone's advice would be appreciated

Many thanks

Chris

Laptop, right?

Switched to "Monitor," right?
You're not recording the UCA202. On a guess, I'd say you were recording either the built-in microphone or Mix-Out. Both of those will give you terrible sounding music.

Reset in Windows Control Panels.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Koz

Ive sorted the problem, the line in volume was set to the max, so I ensured that the UCA device was selected and changed the line in volume to a lower level and the quality is so much better.

Thank you for your advice.
