There are two versions of this
software you can download below and the registration key
works for both. Also, both operate exactly the same.
However, one records and outputs audio at a sample rate
of 44.1khz and the other at 48khz. The reason for two
versions is that Microsoft has recently made changes in
what Windows expects in the way of incoming audio. Some
older versions will expect 44.1khz and some newer
versions will expect 48khz. Also, some edit programs mandate 44.1khz and
some 48khz. If your version of Windows expects
44.1khz and you install the 48khz version of the
software, you won't hurt anything but Windows will not
show the capture device in the RetroSync software's drop
down menu. The same if your version of Windows expects
48khz and you install the 44.1khz version of the
RetroSync software. So it is okay to download both, if
needed, and use the version that works with your current
system. As an alternative, if you are tech-savy,
you can also go into your Windows sound control
panel and make sure your system is set to either 16
bit, two channel 44.1khz or 16 bit, two
channel 48khz, depending on the version you
choose.
Which
is better?
Well, human hearing is limited to 20khz
so, realistically, relative to recording the
audio from any type of old home movie, you
will never hear the difference in quality
between the two choices. This is merely a technical
compatibility issue so just use which ever version is
the easiest fit for your system.
