russell Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Was it low volume recording or a distorted recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Two main things to check:-make sure you used record out on back of mixer-make sure you use line in input on computer, NOT mic input. Mic input has a different gain adjustment than a line in input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Turn all your channel volumes right down and control volume with master.Worked for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Where the plug is depends on what computer/motherboard you have, do you know the model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dechnician Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 so in basic terms, do you use 'microphone' input or 'headphone' input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dechnician Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Where the plug is depends on what computer/motherboard you have, do you know the model?i've got a dell, inspiron i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ok well if you have the manual for your computer, you will find a diagram showing which audio inputs/outputs do what. You want the line in, not mic. Coz it sounds like your using mic atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 audacity should have an input meter on the toolbar. You want to watch that to make sure you never clip. If you are using an output that has a volume control, set it as loud as you can whilst never hitting the top.if you are using mic in it'll be pretty clear from watching that meter.

Cupe Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 this thread just came in usefuli was plugged into something other than line inplug it into line in, top qual recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 cupe now you using tsp you can record via the audio 8.(and from memory you already put the booth/ record out from your mixer into 5/6). all you need now is to specify the recording preferences, i.e. let it know 5/6 is what to record and specify how big you want the files to be before it auto splits it. id suggest picking the biggest (i think 2GB) as it records in wav.then you just hit record on the top right, check your levels arent hitting red. i need to turn gain on the software record about to 1 else it comes out too soft.
