Audacity Forum

@koz: magnitude of the problem: track shift is currently set to -377ms. Sometimes that works, sometimes it's 200ms off (roughly) or more. I set the latency using the air between the mic and the speakers as a rough and ready loopback cable. Ambient Noise Reduction was already turned off :) Am still m...

Yes I too know all to well that Google Chrome mission to take over the computer..... The only things I generally run are web browsers, word processor, email and the like.... but sometimes itunes (not that it's usually doing anything) and others. Will see what happens after a reboot then. I don't hav...

Thanks, yes I meant to say it's a Macbook pro 2012 2.3Ghz Intel core i7 which has 4 dual core CPUs, 250GB free HD space (SSD), so there should be plenty of oomph there. Though TBH if I'm going to have to shut down wifi etc. in order to use Audacity then I might decide to try something else... but ma...

Hi, I flagged up a problem I was having a while back... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=65943&start=10#p235015 At the time I thought it might be down to old versions of OS X or Audacity I was using so I didn't pursue the problem further back then. But it's still there :? Am runnin...

Had a random thought when I heard the usual click which the audio card seems to make when it powers up and down. I wonder if the time it takes for the card to power up is affecting the results?

Aha, I seem to be the 2nd person in the world to have this problem. MacBook Pro 2012, OS X 10.8.5, using the built-in audio. Using a loopback cable the latency inconsistency is of the order of 50ms; using the built-in microphone it's all over the place. Might be a couple of 10s of ms time, then 200m...
