I did post this yesterday but its gone missing. it is simple its just an
analogue in line level line out card we need but the one we have has a
fixed monitor level, and hence cannot be controlled or indeed switched of
to allow editing of the recording.

its using software we have to use unfortunately called newsbridge which has
an imbalance between record and play levels in any case making the issue
worse. Brian

You omit various details.

Do you want/use different USB (?) devices for recording than for playback?

How many inputs do you need in parallel? i.e. will stereo (2 channels) do
the job? If so, both with mic input, or what?

In general I tend to suggest the Scarlett 2i2 for general purpose use. But
I have no idea if it might suit you. This page compares it with
alternatives

Beyond that, some of your requirements may be a software/OS issue. But
since you don't state what software/OS is being used I can only assume it
is Windows as the OS, because Windows users take that for granted!

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. Brian
