RE: Need Audacity expert

Posted by JerryS on May 3, 2025 at 07:41:56:
Regarding gain for recording, the goal is to set gain as high as you can without clipping. You can see clipping in Audacity. I use an RME ADI-2 Pro FSR Black AD converter, set to Preamp mode, to set gain.

You are correct that there are no RCA inputs on the RME. An adapter can be used.

I use a USB cable to connect the RME to my computer, and a USB cable to connect the computer to my playback device, a Luxman DA-07x.

I agree that it is a lot of trouble at first, but one conquers the learning curve fairly quickly.
