So, if you were to test your audio card by looping the audio in with out (hardware, not in SM 😉 ) and playing a sound clip over it, and did this via several sound cards, how can you detect what additional noise it creates? I'm thinking either null different versions out, or create a reverse-gate (allow only low-volume sound though).

If you want to know the noise floor of your sound card, merely reduce dB SPL level range - 200 dB. This will show you your sound card's noise floor within the frequency range you plan to use.

Cheers.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
