Check back in. You are about to experience the up side of help coming from all 'round the earth.

We think so, too.

"Studio Quality" is a fuzzy phrase like Broadcast Quality. If you have the only pictures of the Hindenburg burning, then whatever you have, however ratty, suddenly becomes Broadcast Quality.

If playing old recordings, (made on old computer), on the new computer sounds echoey, but they sound normal when played on the old computer then it could be surround sound effect is switched on on the new computer. The surround effect only effects playback it is not on the recording: e,g, the surround sound echo effect would not be heard if the file was played via a portable MP3 player (e.g. ipod).

If the echo is on the recording no matter what device you play the file on then I'd look to see if the inbuilt mic on the new computer is live (see my previous post).

You can attach a few seconds of your recording to a post here (up to 1mb) and we can tell you if the recording has echo on it.
