With no audio input, the VU meters show one channel wildly fluttering about, and with increased gain over the other. With a signal, it's somewhat similar (fluttering meter, mismatched left versus right gain, but the audio records pretty much okay). In the end, I plugged the computer into a real audio mixer, ran tests to find the nominal and clipping levels, then ignored the metering on the computer. Any time I try to use a computer for audio recording work, I'm reminded of how annoying it had been trying to record on a 1960s tape deck without VU meters, or incredibly mal-aligned ones. Not to mention poor noise floors and low headroom. Have you tried any other audio editing software? I've had a fiddle around, a while back, but hadn't really found anything satisfactory for recording analogue sources. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
