I have a 96kHz preSonus with the buffer rate past 2000 in FL Studio, &amp; my soundcard sucks, will a 192kHz do better to stop clipping in playback?

I record everything in 192. You will need softwear that records it. I use SoundTrack Pro. i used presonus at 96 and love 192. I save the file in 96 and reopen it in 192 without much loss. I usually digitally edit in 192. Clipping sounds like too much level, give it some headroom or use limiter at zero db.

That's what I'm using and it works fine for me.I'm running Sonar 8 music software if that makes any difference.

Typically you find this in the "audio/interface settings" of either the DAW software or the system preferences. Tascam can help troubleshoot if needed.

I record with protools, and Master with sound forge.. But I find myself recording almost everything I do live, with this.. Set the limiter to auto... Absolutely never clips or crackles.. then upload to computer and edit with a Mastering program.. All the Frequencies are there... It records great bass, mids, and trebles.. if you know how to eq and bring them out with plug ins.. I owned and used it for a year before I realized (not spreading the mics open / AB ) actually records better,, More similar tracks and easy to mix... I can rip down, chop, mix a complete band practice, and burn it on a CD in about an hour... Batteries Last Forever also... BEST VALUE HERE... I record with protools, and Master with sound forge..

There is no one simple answer. First I would look to any support forums for the software you are using it with. I assume a DAW. When you say computer sound card, that might be the main trouble. You should always be using a dedicated audio interface not a standard sound card that comes with your average off the shelf computer. Daniel G. is right in that your audio buffer size is a good place to tweak. But go find a support community for the program(s) you are using the keyboard with.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable> I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

Dont use the software it comes with. Let windows load its own. In Audacity click on the overdub and play through in preferences. You may also need to go to sounds in control panel and unmute it.

Hooking this unit to your phono input will result in RIAA EQ being applied twice to the signal. You will get the boost but the sound will be terrible. You'd be also running the risk of saturating that input and damage it. The same company sells a MM/MC preamp for slightly more. I'd buy and use that instead.

I have this system and am able to play 24-bit/192KHz flac files through the USB interface just fine (running on linux). I suppose it's possible the software or hardware is downgrading them first but I would have expected no sound at all if the unit really didn't support it.

of course 192 khz will be better but it will need more processor and ram speed .the best feature about this card is its stability

Honestly I don't know the answer to that...I am only using it for a home recording studio...I can tell you it did a number on my Lenovo computer...I can't hear it at all anymore...

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

I use REAPER, I tried to load the Sonar CD and my computer spit it out, if that happens, it means it's garbage. There are a lot of DAW's on the market, you can use anyone you want, but if you want my recommendation, REAPER all the way.

Going to a computer suggests you're using a DAW (recording software or Digital Audio Workstation) which also means you should have an EQ within your software. If there is no EQ VST to be had inside your software, then yes. This CAN help. Trash in is trash out though. And always will be. If you are using the EQ to erase the effects of a sub par mic, bad mic technique, or a number of other less than desirable factors you may face, you may not be wow'ed with ANY rack EQ. Another tip for using ANY effect that shapes tone though is: Always cut and never boost. In this instance the DEQ1024 has 3 settings: +/- 6; +/- 12; and -24. If you stick to the "Always cut rule" you'll do just fine using the -24 setting. Just crank all the sliders full up, and start attenuating (cutting) the frequencies that are causing you problems. Another cool little toy the unit has is the Stereo Width... It will raise volume so pay attention to that, but if you ever decide to use it as an outboard effect to EQ a bus of instruments, you can widen or narrow the stereo field :) Oh, it also has pads (volume cuts) on the I/O panel. Handy for hot lines/mics. The only way this EQ will hurt your vox is if you don't know how to use it. (Edit - I was the one who wrote the Entry Level review... I bought it back in Jan 2010 when I was trying to record on a Tascam DP02-CF. I was running this EQ along with a reverb, Pre Recorder, to track everything. Well, at least before I figured out FX Loops. Then I switched/upgraded to a DAW, Reaper, and I rarely use the rack EQ. It resides between my Main Mix Outs and my Crossover for live use. You may notice, as you go along, that your EQ adjustments get smaller and smaller as you get more experience.) Happy EQ'ing (takes claw hammer to head)

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.

yes. it makes 1) it makes it louder, if there is a limiter on the preamp then yeah it can prevent it from clipping, , 2) a preamp adds warmth to the vocals as well.

I think you can, I've never tried that low freq. Try turning persist on. It will capture the wave form and hold it on the screen. I'm enjoying my machine and it does everything I need...right now.
