Audacity Forum

I can hear my bass through the headphones That's your live instrument? Can you play an Audacity sound into your 2i2 without overdubbing? If you are Overdubbing, you should select Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] overdubbing > OK. If you can't ever play Audacity into your 2i2, then you have ...

You should resolve the Windows problems. That will mess up both kinds of microphones.

I couldn't work on it at the time. Did you work on it a little bit like maybe rough-cutting or simple editing? If you did, it's all over. Audacity will sometimes recover a Project that you shot and then saved with no editing. Once you do any post production, it scrambles the _DATA folder. I think t...

That better? New-Raw-Audio-volume-patched.wav I didn't use any heavy processing tools. I just volume corrections and a limiter. JWitt is louder than you are.

What distance should i be with my Blue Yeti Microphone. That can change a little if you have a pop and blast filter. Two people have made first-pass co...

What is the benefit of using the envelope tool? Fade In and Fade Out are fixed. Their unchanging fade characteristics don't always meet the needs of the production and there is even Effect > Studio Fade Out which is a different fade process designed to work around shortcomings of the existing Fade ...

Stack the Oooos one above the other and use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push them sideways more and more as you go down. They will all play at once unless you prevent them with the SOLO or MUTE buttons. Now use the envelope tool (two white arrows and bent blue line) to fade ge...
