Hey, Guys!
Okay, first, let me apologize for not doing my homework, before bugging
all of you with this question... shame on me! I am trying to use Audacity
(version 1.3 beta) to convert some of my cassettes to MP3, and later, maybe
even CD. I chose new stereo track from the project menu, and began
recording, only to find that my computer kind of bogs down, and of course,
the recording sounds the same way upon listening to it.
I have a 3 Gig processor, with very little running in the background, so
I am doubtful that it is too much for the processor to handle. Also, I am
hearing the recorded signal, in addition to the source signal... back in my
day, you could distinguish between listening to the source signal, or the
record head volume containing the signal being recorded in real time, which
of course, you did, if you were doing over dubs. I am hearing both signals,
which is driving me crazy! I remember making a change to some menu items to
be able to hear both tracks being played, so that over dubs could be done,
but for the life of me, I don't remember where that menu item is located. I
am thinking that is the problem in a nutshell, because obviously, the
processor is having to process both signals simultaneously. I am betting
that is a lot of data to sort in just a few seconds at a time.
I am sure that there is a logical explanation, but I am just too session
weary at this point to investigate. Have any of you converted your
cassettes to CD or MP3? Any advice for a worn out warrior? Hmm?
Thanks in advance!
