Audacity Forum

Most sound systems "know" what 44100 and 48000 are and just slosh between them with no notice to the performer. As you're finding, you can create some interesting problems if the sample rate is that critical. I would give some very serious consideration to not using devices or software tha...

Stop trying to record in Stereo. Switch to recording in Mono (I believe the Focusrite can handle that). Mono is a single blue wave that will automatically play to both left and right. It will say Mono on the INFO panel to the left of the waves. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices. The other thin...

Can you post some of a mixed song? We would normally urge you to post WAV as a forum attachment, but we're not going to surgically rip apart your blue waves, so a good quality MP3 should do it. At least 128 MP3 quality. Scroll down from a forum window > Upload attachment. The forum will tell you if ...

You can try changing Audacity sample rate to 48000 from 44100 in Preferences > Quality. 48000 is the digital video sample rate for both NTSC and PAL video.

I would expect the video editor to automatically know about the speed changes. What are you using for a video editor?

It takes a couple of passes to get used to the forum tools. ~~ Sounds a little like this? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/FryingMosquitoes3.wav That's an unstable USB system leaking into the sound. The Blue Yeti microphone is famous for its susceptibility to ratty USB battery. Since the Yeti ha...

tested the speakers...

Talk about that. Laptop internal speakers? External USB?

The fuzzy rule is if you can't make out the words, we're probably not going to be much help.

That's Disaster Recovery.

I got nothing. The voices are too far in the mud to use Noise Reduction. You can try Effect > Equalization: Telephone Filter, but that also makes the voices sound like a telephone and may not help clarity.

We'll see what others think.

Export and Import should not do that, so something else must be happening.

What happens if you start with one of the clips, do nothing to it except Export and Import. Does that get the volume boost?
