recording music
6 Answers
does anyone know how to eliminate the spitting noise when recording at a high volume, obviously i could record at a lower volume but then it's barley audible when i play it back. I'm not recording through a mic, my keyboard/guitar is just connected directly to the computer and i want to keep it that way. So basically how do i make my recording software able to deal with a higher volume? (at the moment whenever the volume of keyboard gets above a certain point, a spitting/distorted/fuzzy noise is generated) is it to do with the buffers? if so, how?

There's usually a visual monitor that will indicate this (stay out of the red). Also, for equipment such as guitars and mics, you need a pre amp to obtain a line level input for recording. A di box for guitar and a pre amp for a mic.
A sample rate refers to the sound quality as it is recorded and there is a table on this page:

that shows the lower the sample rate the lower the sound quality.
I suggest googling for buffer, but usually it acts as a small storage space that stores data before it is played out, therefore minimising sound lag. Similar to that on a joggable CD player.
