Hi,
I am a bit of noob when it comes to recording, but I am very confused by my issue...
I am trying to record my acoustic guitar using Music Creator 5 and a SM57 mic.
I tested the mic levels and it does not appear they are clipping, although they sometimes look a little low. I tried different buffer values and bit rates, but neither solved my problem.
Everything I record plays back sounding choppy, distorted, and like I am under water.
I have checked my drivers and am not having any trouble playing things back in other programs (i.e. iTunes). Stranger still is that if I talk into the mic, as opposed to recording my guitar, it sounds normal when I play it back, but there is some crackling.
Anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
My laptop specs are:
HP G60T-200CTO Pavillion Notebook
Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13GHz
L1 2x 32kB
L2 Cache : 3MB
Mainboard : Wistron 3617
4GB DDR2 800Mhz Memory
Audio Device : HP (ICH9) HD Audio Controller
Audio Codec : Conexant Systems High Definition Audio
