Audacity Forum

Got the Behringer 202 in today and in all of five minutes was ready to try it out.

Eh, ONE CHANNEL USB audio. Maybe I'll reaed the instructions, Windows Vista apparently defaults to one channel USB audio unless there's an adult around to open the control panel and change that.<G> Being able to set the input audio level in the USB system driver (control panel) is also a nice bonus.

The clickclickclickpopping artifacts that I was getting, so far appear to have come from the evil Creative Labs card, instead of the tape deck. Will that be a blessed relief in the wallet!

And yes, I splurged 50c extra for the red.

It is such a rare pleasure to find a simple, fast, effective fix for a problem!

Thanks again, guys. And once I get the library digitized, I promise, I'll send two drives to Iron Mountain in two separate boxes. Apparently, the new reissues of LPs onto CDs are often remastered elstinko, I hear lots of people besides me complaining the tracks are cut wrong and the mix hasn't been improved at all.

Im cetrtainly with you on that one - a great example of that is the whole rrecent re-issue of the "re-mastered" Beatles output. Fortunately my local library invested in a set so i was able to compare them with with the 2007 boxed set that I purchased back then (having previously purchased the LPs). The 2007 set sounds largely like the orignal LPs - but the "re-masters" - well let's just say I'm jolly glad I didn't shell out for those. The biggest issue is that the engineers seemed to have put more emphasis on the instruments and brought them forward on the sound stage - to the extent that you find yourself thinking where have theBeatles vocals gone.

One of the posters on the forum took on a project to remix the remix with Audacity - from the samples he sent me he did a pretty fair job with mot of them - preferrable to the studio cut.
