Most likely you have some settings on your sound card that are giving you issues.  Turn off anything that has to do with bass boost, eq, volume leveling, surround effects, srs effects, all that crap.  Also check your sound settings and look at your recording and playback levels.

Edit: if your tracks sound fine through headphones on your psp then it's nothing to do with piggy or the psp itself

Checked out settings and junk on my comp, there's nothing that stood out, and certainly no bass boost or similar things activated.

Noisy too? Try recording a different device, to see if the levels are set wrong or some other gear is failing you.

I recorded my DMG through it a while back, and had a similar problem, but not as noticeable.

I've had that issue with Reaper before as well. Took me a year to realize it was the bitrate it was set to record at or something and a simple change in the preferences brought everything up to par. It was a while ago so I don't remember specifics, but it was definitely an easy fix.


This is what my reaper settings look like atm, if my settings are different to yours, let me know, but there doesn't seem to be anything that unusual about them. Then again, I have very little idea about most of this.

Going to try running my piggy tracks on my other laptop, as well as recording through it. Iirc, I didn't have any problems with piggy tracks played on it, sounding weird. I'll update in an hour or so.

Edit:

An hour or so later, I've managed to get everything recording fine using the M-Audio Conectiv on my win 7 laptop with reaper. I assume it was just a problem with my laptop or something, I'll just use this one for recording from now on.

Yeah, as the title says, when I try and record anything that I've written in piggy, it sounds really bad (joke about my music being bad goes here) Anyway, I borrowed a mixer off of a friend of my parents, a Yamaha MW10, and used that to record tracks through USB into recording software. When I use audacity, everything is hella quiet, and doesn't sound to good, but when I use reaper, everything is at a fine volume, but the track sounds really compressed, like it was a less than 320kbps mp3.
I wondered if it was just a problem with the mixer/ I couldn't find out what was wrong b/c of all the knobs and switches. I tried it again with a little recording thingymajig that I borrowed from school, an "M-Audio Conectiv" but still no luck. Also going to say that I tried recording the song with the conectiv on a different PSP, so it's not that. And on both recording devices, everything sounds fine through the headphone jack of each, but it's only when it gets to the computer/ software that it sounds off.

Any of you guys got any ideas? Is it a problem with my PSP, the mixer/s or maybe just some settings in reaper/ audacity?

Also inb4 someone says that I should run piggy on my comp, and record that way, I'm going to say that the tracks sound different, but not in a hella compressed way, just in a something's not quite right way.

Edit:

I did have a quick check around the piggy section, the hardware section and the audio mastering section before I cam here, although I may have missed a glaringly obvious thread with a solution to my problem

Haha, that's pretty weird. I think I'll avoid browsing the site around family until someone finds out why that happened.

it works quite well, I'll give you that, however, it doesn't block the user's name from appearing at the side if they're logged on, you might want to add that so that peopel can sleep easily at night knowing that they'll never have to see whoever's name ever again.

I'm not being mean at all. If you don't like the people that make up this particular community then there are other communities with different attitudes and styles of communicating.  ucollective is a nice place that is trying hard to be a productive site.  Give 'em a chance!

Oh right, I thought you were saying it in a more contemptuous way, saying that it's really empty, and just generally dissing it. My mistake bro.

Having an ignore feature isn't a bad idea, I sure as hell wouldn't use it, but some will. I tend to think that a few to many people get way to pissed over shit that they read on the net, but if they really hate it with such a passion that they don't ever want to see it again, then fine. I don't hate any users of this site, sure there are a few that have pissed me off before, but y'know forgive and forget and all that jazz.

That said, 90% of the people that use this are going to be those people who are almost cancerous in their ignorance, and are only going to be blocking people for petty reasons, or just because they disagreed with something they said one time.

Oh boy, we get to talk about tapes.

I've got a Yamaha MT120, it's not bad for something I saved from getting binned.
