I needed a better program to play the DVD in the background so I could record the audio through the computer...

I also needed to adjust the WAV recording source.

Yes, they're adjustable...

That may be Nicks trouble...

I can adjust my wav sampling frequency down to 8.000khz, and bits per sample to 8...

That would naturally sound like shit...

Hey Rust...that is why I mix down to Hi-Fi VHS.

The equivalent of 1" analog 2 track tape!

if it's AC-3 audio off a regular DVD, the purists say it ain't lossless. so it may not be your final product that's flawed, but your source.

Check this shit out.

I borrowed a TECHNICS 8-Track recorder last week. The fucker I borrowed it from is a HARDCORE analog enthusiast, and also supplied me with BRAND NEW blank 8-Track tapes. He laughed @ my hairbrained idea 'cause he's jealous of my twenty thousand dollar tube DAC that's better than his thirty thousand dollar one. Manipulation is a great thing. The hairbrained idea got me the recorder and the tapes.

Anyway, I ran the Frampton Comes Alive remaster through the DAC directly to 8-Track. Guess what?

It fucking sounds better. Fuck the clunks.
It's all about discipline.

Not trying to insinuate you are doing anything wrong...just trying to help you figure out why it is happening.

What's the sampling frequency and the bits per sample ??

To WAV, but they turn out lossy and muted...

That is strange....

What kind of sound card do ya have?

I can record anything from any source on my machine and they turn out fine...and I only have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card.

Nick do ya have a DVD Drive in your machine?

I mean, the thing to do is play the DVD (if you have one) and just use software to record the audio.

Fer instance I use SoundForge, but there are many freeware audio recorders out there...
