Re: Delta soundcard problem.
Jim I'm wondering, does a better sound card improve the quality of a recording? Besides the benefits of audio output quality, how else can I benefit from purchasing one of these high end sound cards?

Hi Folks: I have installed a Delta 1010 LT on my computer which already has a Delta 66 soundcard. Both cards are functional as far as Windows is concerned; however, the DeltaPannel software only recognizes the 1010 card. Is there something that I need to configure in order to be able to use the DeltaPanel software to manage both cards? Thanks gang.

Re: Delta soundcard problem.
Jim, Sound quality output is very important as I want the richest sound possible. On the other hand, I don't think these cards have anything to do with actual recording quality, correct? That is, will a high-end sound card record much better than my SoundBlaster live card?

Here anyone is entitled to set up a low power FM station with a maximum power of 1 watt, within two defined areas of spectrum. You don't have to apply for any license, just set up and go. The Radio Spectrum management group reserve the right to come and inspect your installation at any time and there are fines if you're over power. You also are required to do a station identification that provides contact details a minimum of every three hours. But that's it. Simple.

Re: Output format tips needed:
I agree. I have music files, document files, docs on floppies, and software on CD that goes back some 9 years. In fact, just about 1 month ago I took many of these floppy disk files and copied them over to my external HD--not a bit of loss in quality. On the other hand, I tried to take some of my tapes and record them digitally in order to backup onto my external, and I stopped after about 2 tapes as the quality was horrible. Please, let's not repeat things we hear, or we heard from a friend, or things we imagined, or assumptions, or single person experiences and try to generalize them to the point where we feel our experiences are typical--I conveyed my experience above with the complete realization that results may vary. The original poster stated emphatically under the cloak of research that CD media was poor--this is not true at all. On the other hand, if you have a pile of CDs and place them on top of each other without covers and slide them back and forth on each other, this will create scratches and therefore the results might be just as the original poster described. I on the other hand go out of my way to protect my data.

Re: SoundForge 8.0 Volume settings
Steve Da Man! I would normally say big thumbs up, but I've recently learned this has an obscene connotation outside of the US. ha ha, he he. Big thanks for this info as it did in fact help me reduce the volume just as I intended. I would have never, absolutely never thought of doing what you conveyed in your post below. Now I'm still left with somewhat of the same problem. I still can't seem to get rid of all of that slight yet noticeable crackle at some points within my audio rips. Now that it appears that I might have ruled out the sound forge volume, any other suggestions out there? A new sound card is next on my list, but I think the ripping software I'm using might also be a factor.

On the volume page tab once and you should hear jaws announce quote gain unquote. Then in jaws, switch to say all with insert plus a, now the gain control will start to announce the steps up and down as you press cursor up or down. You can increase the gain by larger steps by using the page up or page down buttons. In sound forge 6 the page remembers what your settings were last time you used the gain control. Alternatively, a good set of scripts will also give you access to the gain control.

Sound Forge audio crackling and popping
HI all, I'm using Sound Forge 8 and I'm noticing a distinct little popping and crackling when I raise the volume on my audio files. That is, I have either a .wav or .ogg file and run it through Sound Forge's volume raising utility, and I choose the 200% boost because I don't know how to customize this boosting setting, and I save the file as .ogg. I then listen to the original file really loud and compare it to the file with the volume I just raised, and I find that the second file has this staticky sound at certain parts of the file that are not present in the original file. The static seems to be most pronounced when there are lots of loud things happening at the same time, or when a single sound is very loud as in the event of an audio explosion in a movie and so on. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated as I don't want to keep wasting so much time processing files with so much crackling. thanks, Matthew Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
