Hi,
As many of you, I am sure, we have BBP is installed on a stand alone computer. This brings me to asking you how you actually "feed" your sound into BBP? What cable are you using?
I sense a bit of statics between our main computer and the stand alone computer running BBP, especially when the sound level drops and "silence" takes over. Both are equipped with high end realtek sound cards, though with only the usual headphone and mic plugs. Set up in BBP is "Wave" to "Wave".
What would you recommend we use? USB boxes? Direct cable? At the moment we are using an Edirol UA-1EX and a RCA to jack cable.
Thanks for your input! 😉
Zeb
Hi Zeb.
It sounds simply as if you need a different sound card for your input.
One of the major shortcomings of Realtek cards is their inputs, the levels are very hard to control, and very easy to overdrive. Also, once you do get the input level set so that it does not clip, the signal to noise level is often very poor.
I would advise using a better quality card for your input, I find that any Creative card will massvely outperform a Realtek on the inputs, you will still use the same device for your output.
You can usually pick up old Audigy cards for spare change or even something like a Soundblaster Live will do fine.
If you want to move up to an economical semi-pro card with balalnced inputs, I would suggest an E-Mu 0404.
The jacks and cables you would use will depend upon the connections from your mixer and your PC.
