Is your drum track still residing in the same recording window as the newly-recorded guitar track? If you've exported it from Audacity and listening to it from your hard drive etc through headphones to then record your guitar track, but have left the drum track undeleted in Audacity's recording wind...

wjarek, you would have already installed the advanced mode driver in your initial set up then. The advanced mode driver is version 1.0.0, found here: http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support/dld.cfm?PRODUCT=UA%2D25 it being the first driver down in the list. The driver was already installed if you...

I have a Cakewalk UA-1G which only works with Audacity using the advanced mode driver supplied by Edirol. It will not work (record) with Audacity using the Windows 7 driver. I have no experience with the UA-25, but I do believe it works in the same way as my UA-1G. My laptop is also Windows 7 x 64 b...

If the analogue signal reached the A/D converter with a peak amplitude of around -6 dB, then that would increase the range (theoretically) by 18 dB, so increasing the possible SNR to well over 80 dB Are there any SNR gains by recording at the closest to 0 dB as possible (I sometimes get -0.2 dB, bu...

Koz I look after my friend's iPod for her as she's a massive technophobe, and sometimes use iTunes to transfer some music I've edited with Audacity onto her iPod, but even then I always leave the Sound Check box unchecked for her. As you mention, I realized that iTunes doesn't actually normalize the...

It wasn't the Audacity documentation I was commenting on, although I'm gonna have a read thru of it when I get time. I was thinking of the real nitty-gritty stuff that explains how things work, with detailed diagrams too.

Steve It is possible to scale the digital audio data before equalization, and I think this is how many software digital audio players accomplish the task, so that effectively the volume control occurs before equalization and both are accomplished in the digital domain. But you're basically saying we...

I presume that you are talking about hardware Digital Audio Players. Yeah, sorry, I thought DAP was a widely-used term for guys like you who use it to get round having to type digital audio player time and time again. I'll just say player from now on. :lol: My limited knowledge frustrates me over a...

Steve Equalization on audio players is generally applied after the digital recording has been converted to an analogue signal I wish I had your knowledge of these things. I never knew that; I thought all equalization was implemented before going thru the DAC. In that case, is my system of peak-ampli...

If my lossy AAC files are all normalized by the iTunes WAV to AAC encoding process to -0.5 dB, from WAV files that were recorded without clipping and peak-amplified to -0.3 dB, will those AAC files play thru my DAP without any alteration to their clipping potential, if using a flat EQ ? Recently I'v...
