Today I got my new audio interface delivered, a Behringer UMC404HD. So far, everything’s good, my new Dell U2718Q display fires up at full 4K60, and there have been no issues with having USB devices connected to an Anker USB 3.0 powered hub going to the USB type-A port on the dock.

To try and remedy the problem, I uninstalled and reinstalled the 404, with the latest driver.Recently started overhauling my desk setup and picked up the TBT3-UD1-83 for the laptop setup, connected to an Asus GU501GM, with TB software 17.3.73.350, NVM firmware 33.00. I feel like I want to go back to the previous version but I dont even know which one I was running before the upgrade (but I believe it started with a 2.xxx The best way I can describe what I’m getting is Weird Al’s original recording of “another one rides the bus?” Done in a bathroom with a tape recorder. Now its so bad even eq’ing doesn’t help I never had to eq the final mixdown. Previously, all I’d do after mixdown is boost volume and put on the limiter and the end product was great. I recorded a multitrack backtrack a week before the upgrade and two others after and the difference in the sound quality is stark. Nothing has changed other than this upgrade. I have been using Audacity for recording backtracks for my acoustic act for 4 years. Reverb-y, tinny, no richness to the track. To be blunt, each track sounds like crap. I’ll need to check.ĭifferent problem for me that emerged with the install of 3.2.1.

Unfortunately, if one of them is damaged, the damage can follow you around like an allergy. Audacity leaves setup and configuration files behind to make upgrading easier. Reinstalling Audacity doesn’t reset Audacity. Shift-Shutdown, wait a bit while it turns everything off and then Start. Even if you do use them and they’re all closed, they may leave channel setups behind to mess with you.Īs an experiment, do a clean Windows shutdown and see what happens. They like to take over the computer’s sound services without telling you.

I can imagine no end of troubles if you have Skype, Zoom, or other chat program running in the background. What does that have to say? Audacity doesn’t get sound from the 404, it gets it from Windows. Right-click the little speaker in the lower right. I’d be digging around in the Windows Control Panels > Sound > Recording. I suspect the 404 will accept almost any sampling rate south of 192,000.Ĥ4100 CD quality and 48000 video quality come to mind as nice home recording rates.
