Alright, so I recently downloaded the Reaper recording software, and so far, I have to say I am more than pleased.
But I can't help but feel that I'm not capitalizing on the "oomph" of it.
So I went into my audio preferences and found that my sample format was running at 16-bit, so I naturally brought that up to 24-bit (as that is the capacity of my Lambda usb-interface.)
Then,
I saw that the "sample-rate" was set at 44100 Hz,
and the "buffers" at 8x1024 samples.
(the latency is shown at 185 ms with these settings.)
Now, I don't profess to be very computer savvy, hell, I'm just going to admit right now I don't even know what a sample-rate is...
So can anyone help me understand/ give me a suggestion to tweak these settings so that I can get an even better recording out of an exemplary piece of software? (loving Reaper. Simple, but complicated if you want it to be.)
My computer has an Intel Core Duo T6500, 4GB SDRAM, 320GB HDD, Vista, and I'm running the 64-bit version of Reaper. (aka the newest v. I guess.)
