I have a song I intend to record, but different problems arise depending on the method I use to record it.
The first method I used was to connect my (classic) GB to my PC's audio jack (mic in), and record the song with Audacity. I was able to record this way, but at several points throughout the song, some or all of the tracks become muffled.
I'm not a professional musician, and don't know the actual term for how it sounds. Flange perhaps? Here's a link to the song in case you want to hear what I'm specifically talking about (an example of the muffling is at 2:12): http://chipmusic.org/bschnur/music/down ity-issues
The song sounds fine on the GameBoy, as well as when I connect it to my JamBox using the same cable, so I assumed it was either a sound card issue or an issue with recording via the audio jack or with Audacity.
The next thing I tried was to transfer my save file onto the PC and record using BGB. I was able to record, but the sound is stilted and choppy. I played with the options in BGB, recording tracks separately and not, halving framerate during recording (not sure what that actually does), but wasn't able to acheive an acceptable quality of recording.
Next I moved on to try KiGB (on my MacBook Pro). The result had a more consistent tempo, though it was a slower tempo than the song on the GameBoy. The sound quality was a lot worse than the other recordings, including a lot of infuriating clicks, and the entire song sounds a half-note flat.
Is there another easily accessible option that is tried and true?
As far as additional equipment goes, I'm not broke, but I don't want to spend money on anything I don't know will work.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide.
