So I just bought a Tascam US 122L and installed the newest driver for 64 bit windows cus i use Windows 7 On my 2010 Gateway NV54 laptop. I also bought an Audio Technica Cardoid condenser microphone. So I plugged everything in and Im using audacity by the way and everytime i record it sounds like crap. It sounds unclear and crackly and i dont know why. I took my equipment minus my laptop to a local music store and everything worked fine. So im guessin it has something to do with my laptop or program can someone please help me out and give me some advice on what to do to get my stuff working like it should?. It would be much appreciated since im new to this and this is my first attempt to making my first mixtape and i have the music down but the vocals sounds crackly and i dont know what to do.
