			everything i try recording sounds like it's at the bottom of a well 

music sounds fine coming out of it, have swapped the cables round so i
know it's not an issue there, also swapped mixers between urei and
allen and heath: same again. have played with the compression
settings16bit 44kHz is the same as 32bit 192kHz.

HALP! 

ps. a bit of cross forum posting going on hence the weird smiley action.

	the only thing more dangerous than a person who doesn't give a f*k is a person who gives a sht.

	What card are you using??? sounds like you have a massive latency problem. Software shouldn't make that much difference but try a simple stereo grab with something like audition from the back of a CD player with a purchased CD (not a MP3'd one as they sound like they failing down a well!!!!) Silly I know but also check phasing between L-R.... I have done "desk tapes" with a £22 Behringer "fag packet" interface ( I bought this to lend to Mac users when their pile of doggy pooe interface fails and try getting to connect to a headphone out...) onto my old laptop with great results so if things really are that crap I would start with the CD player as a known good and then if that sucks it has to be a either badly configed hardware (I rashly assume you are no using the 3.5mm "line-in" on a laptop or similar) or software setup....
