Fail Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hey guys , I got Audacity to work last night with my Native instruments Audio Kontrol 1 sound card But.....I could see the noise signal above the little mic side only coming thru the right channel and it was in red ,I suspect that my cheap rca cable and 3.5 to 1/4 jack adapter is shit? then i still will have to play with settings in audacity to suit this soundcard...Is there Any other programs out there that is easier to use? would i be better off getting abelton or Reason on my laptop?

LabRat Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Audacity is by far the best program to use. And easiest. Check that your NI soundcard is selected as the main input or if your computer/laptop has a built in input then give that a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fail Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 See ill have to fuck the sound card out of the equation to plug straight into any input in the laptop...the cheap rca starts at the djm 400 then goes to my cheap 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter into the soundcard line in then usb to laptop....is there a prob there?

Mitch Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 why do you need the soundcard in the equation? Why don't you go straight from the mixer to the laptops line in with a cable like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fail Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Why would i not want to utilize a sound-card that will give me much better quality recordings?...the sound card in the laptop will be built in to the motherboard and would be shit in comparison.......@ 24-bit /192KHz ill have to get this sound card working..plus i paid for it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 the soundcard wont really make much of a difference in my opinion. as long as you got the cable in the above post and an internal input, id go for that option to be honest. use your soundcard for sure but you're looking for an alternative way so thats the best and only way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douzzi Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Def get the free trial download of Ableton. Great change to learn if you like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
