Re: Trying to hook up my PA system to audacity

The easiest way is through a Behringer UCA-202 USB adapter. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg Substitute your PA system for my sound mixer on the right. The UCA-202 mounts like a normal stereo sound connection and it should appear in Audacity Device Toolbar as USB Aud...

Re: Need to fix reverb in recorded interview

I can supply a sample of the audio Yes, but you shouldn't depend on us performing miracles. Putting echoes and reverb in a show by accident is usually the kiss of death. Forum postings are usually limited to 20 seconds mono (one blue wave) or 10 seconds stereo (two blue waves). WAV (not MP3) is rec...

Re: Trying to hook up my PA system to audacity

Probably the first step is upgrade to Audacity 2.1.2. http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ Does the PA system have a Line-Out or Tape Out connection? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyTapeOut-650.jpg Headphone connection? If you have to use Headphones, the connection has to not &...

Re: Agua Caliente

My to-do list features finding Josh's "how to record music" tutorials. I joined the list at Chapter Two or Three. I have no idea where Chapter One is. One of the demonstrations I badly want to find started out a shoot with the microphone atop the camera and switching to the H2 in the middl...

Re: How to reduce audio file size from 10mb to 2mb

And one other note, all those values and settings only work well if the client only wants to listen to the work . If they intend to edit, apply effects or do any other production to the voice, then the higher quality (and larger) sound files are very highly recommended. Each time you make an MP3 fro...

Re: Problems Opening Audio Files in Audacity

You're not talking about right-clicking a file > Open With? You're talking about making Audacity the default app when you double click on a sound file? Right-Click > Open With does work, right?

Re: Mystery : Recorded sound file cant be heard

This is a 40 second stereo sound test clip.

http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase4.wav

Download it and play it in Audacity on your machine.

Are segments 1 and 2 clean? Do they have echo or leakage problems? Is the third one a little louder than the first two? What happens to the fourth?

Re: Looking for Audacity Experience to edit my recorded inst

and I find an experienced Audacity user, That may be the hard part. Most posters are in panic mode because their production failed in some way.

Re: Agua Caliente

Old or new H2? The new H2 fell to the marketer's evil influence. "72 Microphones!!!" The old model is going for original prices on eBay.

My system didn't cost anything. I know that's unAmerican, but there it is.
