It's "latencies." There's more than one. The adjustable one is Recording Latency where you set overdubbing so each new voice or instrument overlays the others perfectly. But there's also Machine Latency which is the time your voice takes to go into Audacity and come back out again. You don...

Time stamping and automated, periodic saving (really exporting) are surveillance recorder tricks that Audacity can't do.

Which three-number Audacity do you have? I'm using Audacity 2.1.3.

It is frustrating that many audacity tutorials use much cheaper and basic mikes with no problems That's too inclusive. You have an inexpensive but far from basic microphone. You have a celebrity which is what's causing all the troubles. If you had a basic microphone, we would have been done days ag...

I remember the messages. That's very common when somebody slips a cog and starts recording their laptop microphone instead of their high quality one by accident. That's not what's happening to you.

The worst thing ever is some podcasters do push a few buttons and everything does work just fine. They are celebrity unico...

The manual doesn't seem to address that, but my quality values stick from the last time I used them. essentially, it doesn't further downgrade the quality Compressed formats always downgrade the quality. That's why it's so dangerous to edit and do production in MP3. If you open a 128 quality MP3 and...

We are struggling with the incomplete/conflicting specs/instructions. And so are the reviewers. WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. I think what's flummoxing us is the product suite that's designed to work from any soundcard and microphone ...
