[05-21-02 11:28]: Before trouble-shooting too deeply. try setting your gains on the mixer. You could be recording too hot a signal which would result in a lot of distortion of the nasty variety. Just lower the 'volume setting' for what-ever recording input you're using and retry. If that doesn't do it we can look else where. Good Luck
KMix setting seem OK. All about middle of scale. What is Pcm ??
Short for Pulse Code Modulation, a sampling technique for digitizing analog signals, especially audio signals. PCM samples the signal 8000 times a second; each sample is represented by 8 bits for a total of 64 Kbps. There are two standards for coding the sample level. The Mu-Law standard is used in North America and Japan while the A-Law standard is use in most other countries. PCM is used with T-1 and T-3 carrier systems. These carrier systems combine the PCM signals from many lines and transmit them over a single cable or other medium. What are you recording from? CD? Microphone? Line-in? Try different recording inputs and see if there is a difference. Gain or volume setting of your outboard gear can effect what is sent to your computer and in turn, what your computer records.
The esd problem is corrected. Required initiation as ROOT. Must have crashed and left the socket behind ??
I've seen that movie too ;-)
Still have bad distortion thou, and seems to be related to lower freq's. It's not my sound system (card & speakers), they are OK in winDers. First time it's been booted in 2 months, just to check sound card & speakers.
Is distortion coming only from what you record? Try downloading a sound file or default wave etc. on your computer. Is it distorted? Or is it only what you record? -- Gary Counsellor http://www.musician2000.com sineigs.all.attitudes@eskimo.com Please remove .all.attitudes before replying
