Audacity Forum

As it turns out the Windows guy's advice has made a big difference. I'm working on FM radio, so using the sample rate of 32000Hz is probably at the very edge of quality, but in doing this it is an infinitely more stable set up, and the station tech says quality acceptable. Now, if I could just get r...

It's nearly impossible to record your live microphone and a chat call at the same time on one machine.

Then installed 16 channel BlackHole, followed the instructions for input and output in Audio Midi (such that Yeti microphone is the 17th and 18th channels). Proceed to Audacity. It ...

Thanks Windows guy I experimented with BlackHole just now, which proves to be stable after a couple of computer reboots, but zero phone input. Only buzzycracky noise, no voice, etc. I notice on the audio midi set up it indicates "no input" and "no output" controls for BlackHole. That might be an iss...

I did not take a screen shot of the crash message - do y...

Bit of a mystery that... Perhaps the lesson is to double check every setting just before lift off. I'll try again to...

Thanks Bill - I'll try that and see what effect (will be a few hours - have to run a long errand at the moment)
