Audacity Forum

I was just having this problem with a USB mixer (Lexicon Lambda) and a default sound card on my laptop.

I played with settings for an hour, then set the Output device to 'sysdefault' and totally resolved the problem.

FYI.

What plugins should I try to get that lovely virtual person sound? Tinny, sythesized, you know. Like a computer in the movies! Or a robot. Or an android.

I've got all the LADSPA plugins, I just don't have time to try them all!

I'm recording several voices for a project on the same mic, in the same location (my recording booth in my closet), and I'm wondering if there's a good way to make it sound like they were recorded in different locations. I'm making a faux movie trailer, and want to have several character voices and ...

Awesome! Thanks for the wonderfully detailed response! Now help me understand what the heck it means ! =) There is a bit of noise on the voice recording, much of which is low frequency interference, which can be "cleaned" substantially (by about 10dB) by using a high pass filter to remove subsonic n...

Hey guys! I have a sample of a recording made in my new sound booth: Download Link It's got no audio, and very little processing (Normalization, I think). Tell me if there's any issues you notice. Here's the final file I made with it , adding music and a bit more processing (though still no EQ or No...

I've also started building a web-site with tutorials and other useful bits and pieces for Audacity users that I hope to launch early in the new year. This will not be to replace the Audacity wiki, the official documentation, or this forum, but will hopefully compliment them. Assuming that the conte...

I've had some very strange behavior in the Equalization Effect after playing with it for a moment. Whenever I try to implement a new preset, the graphic representation will change to the appropriate EQ but the dropdown list ALWAYS goes back to say 'custom'. In other words, I can select different pre...

I was really excited by this question too, Joe, but it turns out that on my Dell XPS420 I have a really crappy SigmaTel HD audio driver that has NO options for recording gain. I think some serious playing around with my Lambda Lexicon audio interface (in both software and hardware) is in order. Than...

I'd like to hear more about this, too! I'd love to find an effect that will let me make a voice sound super deep, or scratchy and scary like the phone voice of the killer in the Scream movies. Anything like that out there?

Excellent breakdown, thank you! For someone like me, with my AT4040 and my lonely Lexicon Lambda interface device (no fancy mixers here!) I only have two input settings to worry about. The mic-in to the Lamda, and the recording level of Audacity, which I believe receives the direct input of the Lamb...
