Recording volume audacity4/17/2024 ![]() And with CDs you shouldn’t be “recording” anyway. With analog, the resolution is usually limited by the noise floor, so again no big deal. The biggest issue with streaming audio is that it’s usually lossy-compressed. And it is perceived as noise riding on top of the signal, you don’t hear it as a “loss of resolution”. ![]() If you get down to 8-bits you can hear the quantization noise. You can’t hear the difference in “resolution” between 16-bits and 15-bits, and your dynamic range goes from 96dB down to 90dB which is still very good. That’s really not a big issue at 16-bits or better. Lowering the volume of the streaming to get headroom involves a loss of resolution at the rate of 1 bit every 6 dB of volume lowering. Most player software won’t boost (they can always attenuate) but VLC can boost over 100% and I’m sure there are others. … and there is no way to control the recording volume in audacity when recording via wasapi loopback the slider works only with microphone recording.īut your PLAYER software DOES have a volume control and that will be reflected in your recording. I measured the RMS amplitude in the original cd audio track, and then I measured the RMS amplitude in the same track recorded via wasapi loopback: the amplitude is boosted by about 4 dB. I’m pretty confident your problems were on the PLAYBACK SIDE. Usually these work on the playback, but of course with loopback you are recording what you’re playing. GOOD! Sometimes there are “driver utilities” that allow you to equalize, or create surround effects, or otherwise alter the sound. ![]() Now I have tried with different audio drivers of different audio hardware and the problem has disappeared, so probably the problem lies not in Audacity but in the buggy drivers of certain audio hardware.
