guy500 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi When recording from the PC (from Soundcard via WAVE/MIDI/CD), I notice that there is a slight tinny sound to the recording quality. This is noticeable when I play back what I have just recorded, and remains it is saved as a file. This does not happen when using other editors to record. However, I do not want to switch to another editor, as I really like Wavepad and feel comfortable using it. Does anyone know why this could be happening and how I can remedy it? I am recording in 44100Hz in Stereo. Hope someone can help.... Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchris Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I came here to answer same question: My recording quality from external sources (mixer, CD, microphone, my cell, anything) has a foggy, low-quality sound compared to what I would expect. Perhaps I have some setting incorrect? ... This does not happen when using other editors to record.

Guy Same...I came to this forum for same problem. It doesn't matter WHAT external signal I use, whether audio mixer, CD player, cellphone, microphone, the recording sounds very low grade and a foggy distortion-like quality. The exact same recordings attempts "check done" on my Tascam CD recorder is significantly better... I have a difficult time believing that should be the case. Perhaps a basic setting I'm missing or is wrong? I'll post my question on another thread as well...Feb 6, 2015 and no replies may be too old. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchBen Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi pchris, Ok, that sounds like a strange issue. WavePad does not really control the quality of your audio recording - that is the domain of the hardware you are using. Is it possibly something to do with playback? If you take a file you know sounds good in a different DAW and play it in WavePad does it sound the same/worse? Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
