Re: New vs. Old Noise reduction settings.

I wouldn't mind notes on that, either. I've been recommending 6, 6, 6 for good, graceful reduction on voice recordings and that has proven effective. I've been assuming x, 6, 3 is more appropriate for music and more complex recordings. I've never checked it. It's not unusual for some processes to ta...

Re: Recording from Digital Piano USB port

I have two USB Yamaha music keyboards and I did it by recording the headphone socket. Step one is split the headphone service so one half feeds the powerful music speaker system. That's how I normally use it. It's in the soundproofed third bedroom, so nobody cares. But the other half goes to a cable...

Re: Choppy recording

It's rough to critically analyze a performance through the haze of MP3 distortion. Post another test a little longer and WAV (Microsoft) format. There is a list of usual suspects, Captain Renault. What else is running on your machine? If we assume that's your voice, how is it getting into the Mac? W...

Re: presetting recording parameters

Audacity will not apply corrections, effects or filters in real time. Start, Stop,Timer Record and Silent Sense are about the only tools that work while you're recording. Depending on what you're doing to it, you may be able to make the studio environment work better and not need the corrections. Fo...

Re: Hiss in WAV file but not in Audacity

alpha-numeric character I can usually "feel" when ACX-Check is going to deliver unstable news, but I couldn't this time. I know about the half-second restriction. By what method does ACX-Check deliver higher than normal noise or unstable readings on this clip ? Is there an ACX-Check witho...

Re: Samson Meteor Mic and Recording level

Select something and then Properties, lower right. Keep digging. Modern computers are not general purpose machines any more. They're business computers. They come out of the box all set up for voice processing so you can call the home office in Zurich on a conference call. You don't even have to thi...

Re: Do project files work across different OSes?

We can't emphasize enough the file names are burned into the AUP file. You can't change them outside of Audacity.

Re: Do project files work across different OSes?

alpha-numeric character
That's upper case, lower case and numbers.

Today is 2018-02-28. Not 2/28/18.

Re: Skype call: can't hear the caller, is possible to fix it

if there is a process to save it Skype makes it very difficult to record the far side. There is no reliable method of recording both sides of a Skype call on one computer. There are reliable ways to record Skype with two computers, or a Skype computer and a separate sound recorder. You can try Pame...

Re: Laptop becomes Microphone

As above, MIDI isn't music. My musical keyboards have MIDI and then headphones, so I adapted the headphone connection to my recorders. This can be an adventure because most laptops, including Macs don't have stereo Line-In connections any more. For those conditions, I use a Behringer UCA202 whose jo...
