At first I thought this was an issue with the headphones You missed the opening scene of the movie. When did you first discover right-channel only? Just after you got your new laptop out of the packing? What are you listening to that works OK with no Audacity? Windows Media? Explorer/YouTube? Games...

spend-a-few-dollars-and-get-great-sound solution. There are a couple that get close. The Blue Yeti microphone is apparently used by billions of people to great effect. Take it out of the box, plug it in and start recording your podcast or audiobook. It doesn't always work out perfectly, though, and...

I'm more than even sure this isn't it, but reinstalling Audacity doesn't reset Audacity. To make Audacity really start over, there's a selector on the Windows installer to tell the system to reset the Preferences and Settings. Click that. Anyone have a clue here?

so I can control airflow The jokes fairly write themselves, don't they? I have a Behringer UM2 interface I have used to good effect. I understand the big brother stereo version UMC202 works well. Once you have an XLR interface with 48 volt Phantom Power (that's important), then the whole world of X...

use a dynamic omni in stead of a cardio condenser... And since nobody makes a self-contained dynamic (moving coil) USB microphone, you'd be re-engineering your sound system with mixers, digitizers, etc. The big kids use mixers and larger XLR-type microphones. Once you past a certain point, you can ...
