And while you're doing that, make sure View > Show Clipping is selected. If the blue waves in your song timeline get too big, they will sprout red lines. That's where the distortion goes up and the bass will start to sound clicky, ticky, poppy and crunchy.

Compression: threshold -23.5, ration 4.8:1.......... That's not going to help. Post a raw/clean voice sample and the same segment processed. It's almost impossible to generate a correction suite without knowing what the original sounded like, and we can't take corrections out. You can post 20 secon...

Missed one. Game processing. Do you leave a Game running when you're not using it?

As far as I know, Rode, Focusrite and Audacity do not affect audio in real time. Windows, however, is famous for it. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements Right-click the speaker icon in the lower right and see if Windows is applying any effects or enhanc...

Is there a "best" way to do this? Yes. At the radio or player. Most music is already at the maximum of digital loudness and anything you do with the word "Boost" in the title is going to cause distortion. If you avoid distortion and boost the bass, the rest of the music is going...

You can get that if you use too much noise reduction or your Windows machine tries to help you get rid of background noise.

That's one with my analog sound mixer. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg They make a UFO-202 which will switch between Phono (for an analog turntable) and Stereo Lin...

I'm thinking getting a computer with a stereo line in might be the best option to avoid USBs all together. If you can. The last Mac I bought—intentionally—was an older model that still had Stereo Line-In and Stereo Line-Out. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg The next more mod...

You should probably upgrade to Audacity 2.1.3.

My UM2 came with a custom 1.8M USB cable. It had a heavy, black ferrite choke clamped near the USB-B end. Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 8.48.05.png What's the possibility of using that cable and see how it works? You should not need to extend the USB cable. An XLR microphone cable can be extended for lo...
