Hi, our local Talking newspaper has a problem.
The problem is this. The sound hardware both in the pc and the cheap
Behringer box have got a fixed level monitor of the input, not even mute
works on the latter and the internal card only has level monitor adjust if
you accept latency, which is unacceptable.
Are there any reasonably priced sound cards or usb interfaces which allow
simple control of through card/box monitor level, so we can match up the
playback to the record levels ?
At the moment the live mikes are louder than the playback by quite a bit
probably due to the Newsbridge software being designed that way. I cannot
change the software as its probably above the technical adjustments most of
the users will be happy with.

Also as I have mentioned before the computer at the studio is still
missing syllables near the start of recordings no matter what we make them
with hardware wise, and I wondered if there is a utility we can leaf running
that will show maybe as a graph when ram or processor cores max out during
the session. It occurred to me that graphic changes audio recording caching
etc may well be the issue, and it only happens on the newsbridge software
which we have little control of, so if its buffer is a bit smaller than say
goldwave, it could easily skip a part of a second went things get busy
4 gig of ram on a 4 core processor would seem to be ample for audio use.
