Audacity Forum

A little bass heavy, Fascinating. I just thought it sounded remarkably like me. That could explain my odd ability to leap soundproof walls and frighten cats. It's worse than you think. It's not directional microphone proximity effect. I'm about a foot away from the microphone and the microphone is ...

Open the AUP file in a text editor (just to look, don't save anything). Is it blank?

I decided to read one of my short stories to see just how it would go in real life. It's 1:27 so the WAV won't fit. There are two effects in the piece and yes it does pass ACX-Check. Some of my voice mechanics produce occasional volume spikes which respond nicely to Effect > Limiter: Soft, -3.5dB. I...

my bugs

You probably don't have bugs. "Bugs" are very specific computer errors. You have problems or shortcomings.

this is different. You're right. This is different. I would not have bet you could make it this far. I bet you're at the limits of FLAC. Even uncompressed formats have some errors. They have to bust up sound in individual chunks (sampling rate) and then code each chunk (bit depth). Audacity uses 32...

and it recorded a muffled file. There is another way to do that. You can do the scratch test. Scratch the microphone or whatever you think is the microphone with your nail while you announce your progress. I made it all the way through a complex communications and conference setup once which didn't...

We can only go with what you tell us. You can configure your machine to record Everything. That can be handy to record internet sound, but as you're finding, that can really mess up some productions. How did you discover how to do this? This is not intuitive. I have a favorite musical performer that...

I know about TRRS. Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve. Counting from the tip: Left Headphone, Right Headphone, Microphone, and Shield. So the best you can ever do is Mono (one blue WAV) and not stereo. Even worse, sometimes the system will present two blue waves to you, but they're both Left and not Left and R...

hi i would like to record a podcast. You got me going there. You want to record an existing internet podcast, not produce a new one. Some of the methods of self-recording grab the speaker sound, so it's not a shock they may drop dead if you plug in headphones. However I didn't think WASAPI worked t...

You have the one plug version of this analog headset.
