It was below 0. Around -5. Again, though, the hiss occurs even when I'm not recording (i.e., no tape in the unit). I'm pretty sure this isn't normal. I've heard album samples as recorded from this unit that had, in comparison, virtually no hiss. Seriously, I get better recording quality from my...

Except it sounds like that even when I'm not recording. Even with all the levels turned to 0.

Thanks to everyone for their input! To clarify, this test was recorded via the RCA Line Out to my minidisc at its most uncompressed, hi-fi setting. The microphone is set to Normal (as opposed to Tele). And now I'm having irrelevant trouble with the BBS not letting me post another MP3. I tried...

Dear Reader: I am new to recording. I recently purchased a Porta02 mkII 4-track recorder. I read the manual front to back. So far, the recording process is great fun, but I was disappointed to hear extraordinary amounts of hiss through my headphones during monitoring, recording, playback and...

You're probably right about the iMic. The Line 6 model sounds more like what I need. Random as hell, but now I can't help wondering if I should just go with a four-track recorder. I've been looking at the digital ones and I wonder how much harder they are to use than their on-screen...

Thanks for the information. I'm learning something almost on the hour now. Although it's USB, I take it that the iMic would fall into that category of sound cards not suitable for non-delay recording?

So I guess I've had a bit of a breakthrough. The iMic arrived and it works! Sort of. When I record in Audition, I still have the I-can-see-it-but-I-can't-hear-it problem. But, snooping across the Web about an issue I was having with iMic static, I found someone's mention of changing the iMic...

Thanks for all the responses. I think I understand for sure now. Thank you, too, tennis racket/rocket ship guy. I like the idea of being able to work with multiple tracks as with the 4-track recorder, but what sort of equipment is used to record via computer with more than one track at a time...

What are some of the practical differences (pros, cons, etc) between a 4-track recorder versus a line-in/line-out mixer (no tapes or discs go into it). Please ask me for any clarifications. I'm eager to learn. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing some of your experiences in analog and...

Man, jimco's registry settings post had me excited because it was so comprehensive, but ... you know the answer. I was able to do step 8, but not step 7 as "EnablePoPBypass" was not found in my registry. I revisited the mixer settings the first time I edited the registry and this time, too, but...

Well, this is just madness. Have double-checked my registry amendment and it's still set to 00, but I still can't hear the keyboard. Have tried this with both the speakers and headphones, and I'm still only able to hear the PSR on playback. Right now, feedback sounds like a lovely idea! No...

To the interested, it turns out that a plastic measuring cup over an omnidirectional mic produces some interesting, if muffled sounds. Incidentally, for the purposes of one-mic analog takes, it amplifies the hell out of the high end of the keyboard, so keep it low and sing close to the cup!

I found the DisableMicFromPlayback. I've changed it to 00. Will restart shortly and let you know how it goes. I'm very excited! Do you think the feedback issues will be avoided when I start using the external sound card, such that I can use my speakers instead of headphones as suggested in the...

Well, Hugo, you've been about as big a help as anyone could be, and I appreciate it. If you think of anything else, and certainly a solution, I'll be indebted. I downloaded Audacity and like Audition and Acid Pro, I was able to record without any hitches, but still no live monitoring of the...

The Advanced Controls checkmark only produces the Advanced button under the Microphone column, which is the ACM.jpg screenshot.

If I'm looking in the right place, it doesn't appear so.

I don't think I see a check box for controlling monitor output. Here are the windows you referenced as they appear on my system.

Yikes.....

karyoker: Duly noted. One 5-gallon bucket coming up. frankieballsss: Yes, no and maybe. Sorry for any confusion. Creamyapples1: Sounds like fun to me. I'll try it! I didn't really get to be 15 as far as music went, so I'm taking my time in enjoying it now. Thanks for the idea!

I hate to be difficult, but I'm afraid that tutorial didn't help much as it didn't explain why I should select which devices for use. So my prioritizations are completely arbitrary. And really, I don't see any devices listed that sound like sound cards or anything similar to those in the...
