| 84894 | 2002-10-01 01:20:00 | Hey all. Umm, just wondering, is the a GOOD program out there that uses your input plug on the sound card for recording (like that program that comes with....Windows but better because that only uses the microphone and give bad quality.). Just wondering. | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 84895 | 2002-10-01 01:42:00 | Hi, there are several and it depends on your taste. I use [www.dbpoweramp.com]DMC music converter[/url] with the Audio Input Plugin. There is other (pay) software out there to clean up your recorded music and improve the quality. It is not the windows program that causes the poor audio inpput, but rather the soundcard. For high quality recordings you need a high quality soundcard with line-in. If you are limited to using the mic socket, you cannot blame the software. Different software will not allow you to use a different plug. If you are actually using a microphone to record from music playing on speakers (I can't tell from your post), then this is the problem. Plug the output from your stereo in to the mic input socket (volume low on the stereo unless you want to kill your soundcard). Don't put a mic in between or else you will get all sorts of background noise, ect. G P |

| 84896 | 2002-10-01 01:47:00 | I am using my sterio into the Mircophone plug because the only program I could use was that windows thing and I think that Windows or the sound card are told to down grade the quality in the mircophone slot. | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 84897 | 2002-10-01 01:55:00 | What is the name of that program the removes the static for your recordings? Becuase I am recording off a tape and that would be PREFECT! | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 84898 | 2002-10-01 01:55:00 | Well, Goldwave (http://www.goldwave.com) gives you the option of selecting your Input sources. Very easy to use, and should have all the features you need for most minor touch ups. That's my choice, but apparently Cool Edit is good, But AFAIK you have to pay for that. Chilling_Silence |

AAAArrrhhhggg! Microphone inputs are for microphone type signals! Its not that "Windows or the sound card are told to down grade the quality in the mircophone slot" at all, its the severe mismatch of impedance levels and signal levels will not allow undistorted transfer. Does your sound card have a "line in"socket, and are you using the "line out" (NOT the speaker or headphone out) on your stereo? There was a give-away CD on a recent magazine that had LP Doctor on it, this is the software you need. Cant remember the Mag at the moment, but its immaterial as unless you can match inputs and outputs, it will sound shocking anyway. |
