I agree. You both gave me the last resort!
I've had Audacity for some time now but never knew I could record PC sounds.
It's very handy.

there was a song called "To blue" and i wanted to correct it to "Too blue". But then I listened and sure enough it was correct as is.

If there's a difference in sound between playback and rendering, it could be worth playing with the quality settings for both playback and rendering.

Playback settings are under Options > Preferences > RealTracks:

And render settings are in the export window under Audio > Export Song As Audio File:

One thing to note is that low and high quality are somewhat subjective, and that some people prefer the sound of the low or medium setting over high. However, the more important thing in this case is consistency between the playback and export sounds, so I would recommend the High setting for both playback and export.

Hi, Simon. Thank you for your help.

I tried the RealTracks settings, both Low and High, but no luck.
When I selected High, it was very noisy when playback as well.
I changed back to Medium.

I've already tried the Audio settings, both 16bit and 32bit, but no luck.
I changed back to 24bit.

Regards,
Jazzutako

You should leave it on High then instead of Medium. The point of doing that is to make the rendered output consistent with playback, and as we've determined in this thread the "noise" you're hearing is part of the drum recording in the first place.

Hi, Simon. Thank you for the advice.

Then why is it Medium in default setting?

I prefer Medium because I don't hear the "noise" when playback and I can record the PC sound as it is.
In High setting, it's "noisy" when playback and when rendered as well, so I have nothing I can use.

If so, do you have any RealDrums which doesn't make that "noise"?
Do you have any recommendations? I'd be happy to buy it.

To avoid performance issues on slower computers - many of our users have very old systems.

We suggest High, as the reason the Medium setting isn't noisy is because the Medium algorithm is destroying the actual natural sound of the drums. Switching to High will likely improve the sound quality of every other project.

Recommendations like that can be highly subjective - I'd suggest trying out all of the ones you currently have available first. In the MultiPicker, choose the RealDrums tab then click Settings. In the popup, set the checkboxes to the same in my screenshot. Now you can double click on any of the entries here to see what you like the sound of. Try also switching between Solo and Band to hear the demo with or without other instruments.

If there are none that you like and you're interested in purchasing something that would work better, enable the checkbox in the Settings popup that says "Show RealDrums that are N/A". Now you will be able to double click on any entry in the list to listen to a demo - though keep in mind you won't be able to listen to them in your song before buying them.
