Audacity Forum

Audacity 2.4.2, Windows 10. So, I have a stereo recording of an audio show where the channels are mis-aligned - it sounds like, I'll hear something on one side and then on the other side immediately after. Both sides play the audio, but there's a left/right imbalance. This was an audio file I had se...

As far as dealing with headphones go, what's the bottom line - is there a different configuration that I can use with them, or am I going to have to adjust to recording without having headphones plugged in? Uh...so you can disregard this question now, Steve - I seem to have stumbled into the soluti...

Regular analog headphones should work the same as the speakers built-into your laptop because they both use the same soundcard & driver. USB headphones use a different driver and they will have different capabilities/limitations. Yeah, I have regular headphones; I've never yet owned a pair of USB.

And choosing Windows WASAPI is more or less equivalent to spinning my wheels. Regardless of chosen input device, I click Record and the track opens and then it does nothing, like it's not actually trying to record. WASAPI is the way to go. In the device toolbar , the recording device needs to be se...

Opening disclaimer: This is, admittedly, my first attempt at using Audacity with Windows 10. Prior to this, I'd been using Vista for the better part of the decade up until I was forced to change laptops last year. I'm just now getting back into using Audacity again. Anyways... So, I'm stuck in the p...

Have you looked at this FAQ: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements ? I don't have the exact options that this specifies. I can only access the Microphone on the "Recording" tab (not "Sounds") - but I have the Microphone turned off, if that's more-or-le...

Also: This isn't my first go-round with Audacity. For two and a half years before this, I had 1.3.x Beta Audacity on an Acer Aspire laptop. Pretty sure that was a 32-bit system; don't remember seeing anything different specified. Once I figured out how to record computer-playing audio, I had no real...

Just to make sure - You have selected WaveOutMix, right? Yes. Forgot to mention :( : My sound driver is Conexant High Definition SmartAudio HD2, driver version 4.36.7.61. Make sure that you have got Software Playthrough tuned off in the Transport Menu otherwise you will get feedback. Already done. :)

Could you try and describe this in more detail. How does it become incoherent? Does it become echoey. too quiet, too loud, like it's far far away, something else? Sort of like it's far away. It'll go back and forth between where, say, the words to a song will still come through just in poor quality...
