Audacity Forum

Hi Trebor, Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and competencies! I can not disagree on your comments as the samples were made under abnormal settings and methods, however I cannot agree that these samples do not sound fine if comparing them to those firsts made under laptop's audio-card controls....

Thanks! At the proposed-link page, tried to find the meaning of "unconventional" but got found neither 'unconventional' nor 'conventional'.... it seems to be the next what I have to learn in audio as I am not a recording specialist...... Actually, there are more Mid-frequencies on your graphs, and t...

As the one of the golden rules of SNR recommends, I tried recording with higher volumes today...... and, that worked well on this new business laptop! Although, playing is not very comfortable due to high sensitivity of on-board transducers, however if you want this then you can really manage it! So...

Thanks for the suggestions! At the moment I am building large diaphragm condenser mic with my vintage CK12 capsule by AKG, actually this microphone encouraged me for all this recording-related enthusiasm and activity ...... hope the capsule works fine, then I will get a decent 2-channel USB interfac...

Here you go with my "dulcet" tones - I'm no VO artiste ... HP Envy.wav Macbook Pro.wav Peter. Macbook does sound not bad........ Your HP Envy a bit better of cell-phone mic..... Just to make this clear: are these two samples recorded through internal camera's digital mics ? or through headset mics ...

It's probably about 5 years old. A generic i7 laptop with SSD + hdd. The build quality is reasonable and it's a good number cruncher (it's very fast for the price, which is what I needed for software development). The fan is quite noisy and the sound chip is rubbish The sound quality from your Sony...

I have a W10 HP Envy Laptop 17-ae0xx - it's soundcard is Realtek High Definition Audio(SST) I have no issues with sound quality on this HP Envy. Recording from the on-board mic is nowhere near hi-fi quality (I wouldn't expect that), but not as bad as a " poor quality digital cellphone ". It does so...

Steve, thanks! The purpose of such recordings is not a music production, it is all about demo and practice.... actually, that short recordings were made for showing the internal mic pickup system's characteristics, and certainly this is not the way for recording music! So for this type of demo-audio...

Well, tried everything and everywhere with settings, having changed/modified/enhanced/removed ......... nothing does help with that strange "under the sea" sound. With HP Envy default audio settings, every recorded track was of such a chewed sound, it improves a bit under disabled default settings o...

Just noticed the following: in my old Vaio laptop, I have my mic switched off in the settings, however the signal goes to Audacity anyway and it records it fine. I can not do the same in my new HP, if I turn the mic Off, nothing goes to Audacity...... That unpleasant chewed sound heard on a recordin...
