Audacity Forum

Gets me started for now, but will consider your suggestions. As above, one of the common shortcomings of these devices is stereo. Magnify your blue waves and make sure they're different. Attached is a small segment of a Bette Midler stereo tune. If you look close, the blue waves are similar but not...

why do you need stereo?

All the audio presentations I've seen on YouTube have a still picture with the audio running in the background. So you still need a video editor to marry a single picture with the Audacity sound.

Record the first ten seconds or so and reset the YouTube playback to start over. Do Not stop Audacity. I don't know if I can help with damage at the end.

Audacity gets its sound from Windows, not from Focusrite. So go into the Windows sound control panels and make sure the Scarlett is there, selected and you get the Windows bouncing sound meter. Then start (or restart) Audacity and see if you can get the same thing in Audacity > Edit > Preferences: D...

The desperation method is not do this at home. I have breakfast at a small cafe across the street from a for-hire voice recording studio. Walk in, perform, walk out with a finished track. The more successful voice producers (title intentional) have and continue to produce voice work at professional ...

track is created but no waveform appears on it.

The structure of the second track appears but the cursor never leaves home port, or the structure appears with a moving cursor which traces a straight line and no blue waves. Those are different problems.
