Subject:Static on playback

I used the default new file settings 44k/8bit/stereo. The
only other thing I changed was the DC calibration which was
set to 17. I have a mixer and two turntables connected to
the PC. I record and when I playback there is a tremendous
amout of static/hiss comming from the background. Adjusting
the EQ doesn't seem to get rid of it. What am I doing
wrong. Is there any way to knock this static out in SF? I'm
a newbie as if you couldn't tell. Thanks in advance.

This is mainly because you are using 8-bit files. An 8-bit
file has sound quality comparable to a telephone. Use 16-
bit, 44,100KHz files to achieve CD quality sound.
