For me, the quality of the encoder is far more important than bitrate. And, i don't think i'm able able to judge what fidelity really is, because it can be subjective, sometimes. That's why a distorded or clipped kick drum doesn't bother me at all if i like the tune – as far as i know, the art

Tread lightly on this subject... the technical stuff matters. (don't get me wrong you're not doing badly.) I have been engineering audio for several years now and every year I get less tolerant of mediocre sound fidelity. I've long since deleted all my mp3's that are 128kbps (<192 sounds simply te

This is actually some of the better onboard sound (for PC's that is, Mac's are usually halfway decent) that I've heard. A presonus or E-mu would sound better but this doesn't sound "bad." There actually is some subtle tinniness in this that, if you have $300 to spare I would still advocate getting

Audacity is free and pretty decent. That mic in may very well be an actual line in. I wouldn't expect a laptop to have a mic preamp. On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 10:47 AM, Jeffrey Richards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a shiny new Dell laptop (err...notebook) just > sitting around my house. I w

There is no possible way that running a DJ set into your notebook's line in isn't going to sound like infected monkey a$$. Sry. :( If you want some suggestions for hardware, I would consider a presonus firepod. Then you can worry about software. Right now you might as well record your set to a c
