<<<Anyone know what's going on here?>>> What's going on here is you're trying to make a live capture and post production program into a real-time production tool. In your very next breath, you're going to ask us to apply special effects and tone modification tools as you record. It won't do that, e...

So I decided to lay over a reverb effect on a recording I just made...it sounds AWFUL. How do I un-do an effect applied to a track in Audacity? A related question - lets say I add a reverb effect to a track - and now I want to compress it...or EQ it...can I apply multiple effects to a track? How? Th...

The best way is to record everything dry, then add effects later. If you want to use outboard hardware effects, simply play a track back, with the output plugged into your effects unit, then the output from the effects unit into the input of your sound card and record.

Yes, I have a mic, and it is working - I can hear the sound I record when I play it back in Audacity, but I can''t hear any sound in my headphones while recording - I seem to have no monitoring capability. Doing some more research, I downloaded Audacity to my desktop computer, and I discovered that ...

steve, thanks for the reply - everything is enabled in the windows mixer. still no monitoring capability. i've got playback, so i know both my headphones and mike work. still can't hear myself as i record.

Hello, I'm a brand-new user of Audacity, and I'm trying to figure out how I can hear myself in my headphones as I speak into the mike while recording. I can hear myself when I playback a recorded track, so the recording of the track works just fine, but I need to hear myself in my headphones as I'm ...
