Q: Stuttering USB audio input when recording
Hello,
I have an 27" iMac (late 2013) (new to me as of 1month ago......refurbished by a respected mac dealer in London).
- I am connecting my Zoom h2n USB microphone to it to record with Audacity but the audio stutters as I record. This makes the recording completely unusable.
- I have been researching as much as I can but cannot find an answer. I have been adjusting latency settings in audacity as described by some forums with no luck.
- I have also turned off update screen during playback.
- I do NOT get the same issue from the internal microphone..
- I DO get the same issue when using the zoom mic with a different sound recording app.
The spec of my iMac is:
27" late 2013
Quad core i7
32gb ram
3tb Fusion drive
OS: el Capitan (fully up to date 10.11.5)
Can anybody please shed any light on what might be causing this and how i can fix it? (PLEASE!)
For such a highly spec'd machine, i would not expect these issues.
I would really appreciate any help you guys/gals could give me.
Charlie.
