Hi all,
Perhaps you can help where Creative can't (won't).
I am recording vinyl to .wav using:
P3 500Mhz PC 256mb
Soundblaster Extigy USB (connected to Mainboard USB)
Sony Receiver as Preamp
Yamaha Turtable/Ortofon cartridge
Cooledit Pro 2
I am having two recurring recording issues (that are not present when I use the onboard soundcard (ie use the analog in on the motherboard):
1. Recording level is too low - even when I have eveything max'd in Windows Audio Mixer. Only manage to get to about - 8 db at best (and not very often at that)!
2. Recording occasionally drops out (silence) - I suspect this is buffering.
I was hoping to use the Extigy as it will result in a better quality recording, but how?
Does anyone know a way to sort out these issues (still waiting on an answer from Creative).
Thanks,
