It's practically certain your internal burner is dying or dead. Windows Media basically said, "Find out why the burner isn't working right and get back to me." It's not software or drivers because for a time, it worked OK, then erratically. Driver problems tend not to wander. You have the ...

I'm told reverb could be pulled off of the spirits replies Pay attention to who told you that. There may be a trick. Echo and other large room sounds are deadly because the effect is the performer's own voice arriving at the microphone multiple times—reflected from different walls and surfaces. So ...

Just a note in case you're solving a problem you don't have, the UCA-202 is one of the devices I certified for perfect overdubbing—zero latency show mix in your headphones. The trick is to listen to the UCA-202 instead of the computer. It's totally possible the UCA-200 will do this trick. http://www...

I don't. We can wait for one of the other elves to see if they have any ideas. I personally would be doing most of it in hardware. The operator would have a push-to-talk microphone and the act of pushing turns her microphone on and mutes or reduces the volume of the background music. https://www.ama...

Pretend I want to buy your microphone. Do you mean the microphone inside your laptop? We both immediately went down that X...

I've never used Chains for anything, but I understand it creates a folder next to the original files and puts the corrected files in that folder. I understand how "handy" it is to step on original work files, but it just makes my teeth hurt anticipating the posts from someone who doesn't h...

If you want iTunes, you'll have to keep it. QuickTime 7??? Really??? Not the domesticated version of QTX or whatever the latest version is? Of course, we don't know how old the machine is. Windows 7 goes back...what, five years? Six? I guess it could be QuickTime 7. That may have been current when ...

little did we know how atrocious the mic quality is. Just so you don't spill over into calling the microphone bad. Probably not. I can make almost any microphone sound like that by using it wrong. I can get that honky, wine-glass voice by either overusing Audacity > Noise Reduction, or running the ...

There is a way to do this, but it may not always be as helpful as you think. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording > [X] Playthrough > OK. Yes, that's useful if you're recording a turntable or cassette machine, but not if you're overdubbing or recording a live microphone. Even if you're routing ...
