do tell us what the original problem was that you were solving with the Yeti. And it would still be really good to know that. Regular Yeti microphones (even ones with racing stripes) are a slave to the quality of the USB connection. The computer people make services as cheap as possible depending o...

I think that's the end of the world. I don't know all the variations of emergency recovery, but I think you hit one where there is no show. It is recommended that when you make a recording, to Export a WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit sound file before you do anything else. That's the backup should anything b...

It's a good quality Dynamic (moving coil) microphone. That's exactly why we need to know about the adapter used to plug it into the soundcard. If that is the adapter used, then yes, the performer is creating damaged tracks. Which way to go to "fix" it....... Obviously, the correct computer...

Multi-track is rough. You can't use the common recommendation to export everything as backup WAV files. You could be there all week. You could Export a WAV of each track just after you perform it, and then go on to editing and production. As you produce the show, Save Audacity Projects at time inter...

Will the fix included in version 2.2 correct this type of crash scenario?

Skip down the AU files. Do any of them have any sound? An Audacity Project has an AUP Project Manager to tell Audacity what to do with all those little AU files in the _DATA folder. You should be able to play the AU files and get little 6-second snippets of the show. If they're all silent, I think t...

a three-way perfect overdubbing session on the picnic table By "Perfect 'Overdubbing," I don't mean it's ready for Lincoln Center, I mean I hear a perfect mix of my live voice and the backing tracks as I perform . That's really hard to do if you need that. You can't, for example, listen t...

Here. I just did a three-way perfect overdubbing session on the picnic table using exactly what you see in that picture. Click the picture. No wall power and you may be able to hear the jets going over. The AKG microphone is a public address microphone handy for testing.

This is a test clip from my UM2. It's a live (ratty) microphone and I'm listening to each track and me in real time and in sync as I record—three layers.

In music, that would be drums, bass and lead guitar, recorded one after the other.
