Here's an illustration of some of the relationships. I changed the bouncing sound meters around so they're bigger and easier to see. You can do that, too. The little bar to the left is a position drag bar and a little bar to the right will let you set the sizes. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pi...

I don't have a Scarlett, so I can't tell you about my personal experience. Frying Mosquitoes noise changes with the computer and connection. The Yeti is usually OK and it's a very popular microphone, but there's this small group of people who can't make it work. You're in that group. The best we can...

So if you have a clean and well-behaved computer, the USB five volts is clean, ...

Describe what you're recording and how. That error can be either record or playback because Audacity can be configured to play the work as you're recording it. If you're really trying to record a USB microphone, please note Audacity checks for new devices when it starts. If you unplug your mic and t...

Effect > Normalize and Effect > Amplify are cousin tools. All they do is turn the volume up and down, but they use different assumptions to do it. They all run out of poop (technical term) when the blue waves start to get too tall and overload. No tools in this family can exceed that. Scene shifts ...
