There is one problem with using the 2i2 for overdubbing. It's stereo and it's difficult to stop it. That means recordings are going to be two track with your performance on one channel and silence on the other. And that means to use the track you'll have to convert it to two mono tracks and delete o...

Does your Mac look like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg That thing on the left is a high-volume Stereo Line-In and I've been using it for Mixers, Turntables Preamps, etc for years. If you have a newer MBP, you have a single socket intended to do everything. I would bet...

It also only happens when I'm wearing headphones That's from your first post. Really, the sound plays just fine in the built-in speakers? It's sometimes valuable to list everything in the sound system. Pre-judging the solution is very dangerous. What else could be trying to use the sound system? Do...

I've never heard of anybody doing it with headphones. That's hard.

I have an older SPL meter and I know someone with a more modern digital sampling unit, but neither of those will work with headphones.

In the past I've used google drive for this, this time it's microsoft onedrive but they're pretty equivalent for this purpose. Except for one thing. This isn't a non-free editing tool. Audacity doesn't understand network drives or storage systems. It may not fail immediately but it may become unsta...

I'm just reading through that again. If you have a good quality USB interface system, you should make sure you have the Windows 10 compliant drivers for it. Just "OK for Widows" doesn't do it any more.

there's just silence the first few seconds and then the audio suddenly cuts back in. Is the timeline cursor moving and playback is silent for the first few seconds, or does everything halt until it gets good and ready to play normally? What kind of headphones do you have? How are you reading for au...

Particularly if its covered up with dialog and other theatrical stuff, fading in Generate > Noise: Pink should do it. If someone walks from inside to outside, switch from pink to white noise. These are a cousin to microphone internal noises which I frequently refer to as "Spring rain in the tre...

that will automatically cut the frequencies around 80 to 100Hrz from being picked up Frequencies below 80 Hz to 100 Hz. Game recording is a juggling act between your voice, game sound and keyboard/computer noise. I don't know we ever solved the keyboard noise problem other than make your voice as l...

One of the reliable ways to kill a show is have two different conversations running at the same time. You might be able to use a "Noise Gate." Any sound lower than a set volume is muted, but don't bet a lot of money you're going to get a theatrically nice result. For one reason, that will ...
