Inside Audacity:

Edit -> Preferences -> and hit the "Quality" tab:

Set the default sample rate to 44100

Set the Default Sample Format to 32 bit Float

Realtime Samplerate Converter: set to "Fast sinc interpolation"

High Quality Samplerate Converter: set to "High-quality sinc interpolation"

Realtime dither = "None"

High Quality dither = "Shaped"

Under the Audio I/O tab, make good and sure that your soundcard's actual physical inputs and outputs are selected in the dropdowns. Especially NOT the "Microsoft Sound Mapper" if that's listed.

If you are still using the Delta card, then set the Recording side to the "M-Audio Delta Mon. Mixer" setting. --> This is very likely the biggest reason for your current problem, LT. You can't just dive headon into this stuff hopin' to get lucky, man. Luck be a lady. Knowmean?


Audacity can do the job. Just because a program is free doesn't mean what others are saying here.

Be advised that Audacity does not address the soundcard's ASIO drivers, it uses the Windows WDM drivers, which can be just as fast nowadays. Those knocking Audacity are some of the same ones who tell everybody to always use MME/WDM drivers in PT and RealBand anyway. Both sound identical, ASIO once was the leader in latency figures, not so much anymore. Use either, use what works for you.
