OK, it's quiet again...

I thought I'd picked up that your sound card may not be best suited to
recording. It's difficult for me to tell in my case - I always used the
Creative because it sounded a fair bit better (than onboard D-A) for
playback. So having committed to the Creative for playback, I then used it
for recording. I now use a Mac which has digital I/O, so I no longer need
a PC sound card.
Funnily enough, I always think Sound Forge sounds better than WMP when
playing back the same trax!!
The recording levels are not a serious problem - I would cut an
attenuator into the equation if I really needed it! The clipping is more
a result of sloppy recording technique where the beginning looks OK, so I
bugger off and let it get on with it only to find it went mad some time
later!! (And my not being arsed to re-record it again!! ;-)
I'm with you on all that. In fact the front panel is just a convenience
and I haven't bothered fitting it for a while. You can plug stuff in and
out without crawling around the back of the computer, plus the level
control gives a bit more, um, control ;-)
Yes, makes sense, but all my 'audio' connections are all made to the
amplifier - only one connection is made to the computer from the amp's Tape
Out.
Big thanks anyway!! :-)
No worries! Thought I'd offer it before consigning to ebay.
Much appreciated! Good luck with it if Wally hasn't already grabbed it of
you!
