Re: Enabled plugin won't show up in effects

That's because it's not an effect. It's in Analyze.

Re: Microphone live monitoring

How did you connect your players? You should select only that single device in Audacity. I think you are trying to record using the settings to record internet, YouTube or other on-line content. That's why your microphone keeps waking up. You told it to in your settings. "Please record everythi...

Re: Record always clipping

http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/olympus_TP7Blowup.jpg I think that's the wrong thing. I have several Startech ICUSB, etc. as in that picture. They're "Stereo" only in that they support stereo headphones. The other side is support for a mono microphone. If you look very carefully at you...

Re: Recording both sides, but can only hear through one side

direct monitoring is mono on the Scarlett Solo. ...which is what you would want if you were overdubbing. Headphone mix should always be mono because the Solo is natively a mono device. These devices are not sound mixers. You can't assign sounds to wherever you want them. the words at the bottom say...

Re: Audacity for VO ( Voice Over)

Is there any dedicated Topic / Thread for how best Audacity can be used for VO, with the various Effects, process flow, chains etc. Not that I know of. We generally work with the idea of producing clean work with as few corrections as possible. If you have a special effect for a particular script o...

Re: Basic hook-up of Boombox to computer so I can use Audaci

So you have an adapter cable that looks like this? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/RCAMiniStereo-650.jpg If you have a blue Stereo Line-In on your computer, then that's all you need. Yes the Red is almost always Right and the White or Black is Left. I would probably not go directly to MP3. I woul...

Re: search track functionality

I thought there was a way to do that with Metadata, but maybe not.

Are you trying to create a media player?

Re: Headroom for mastering

Normalization sounds wonderful, doesn't it? They're the same thing. They just have different controls. Normalize does have [X] Remove DC Offset. That's technically not a volume control. That's a correction for a broken soundcard. Some soundcards have a little of their DC or battery leaking into the ...

Re: Help - Automatically Clipping at -6 db when recording

There's really NO HARM in recording at -6dB.
