Audacity Forum

There is no stone that says you have to use the computer. That's my mic stand and personal recorder. Of course it's no longer made, but it has a lot of terrific features. It would produce a WAV sound file and had "zoom" microphones. You could make it ignore a lot of room noises in favor of...

I get that the vast majority of people wouldn't want what I want. Actually, they all want exactly what you want. Professional, Studio quality sound from your living room. But, I can hear you complain, I don't need professional quality sound, I just need clear sound at good volume and no distortion ...

We should find out why yours doesn't. I've used the same USB microphone for centuries and Audacity keeps coming back to it time after time. Is it USB? Which one?

Do you unplug it? That's enough to reset the Mac preferences. Plug the mic in and then start Audacity. Not the other way around.

DeEsser and DeClicker are designed to attack specific vocal characteristics without seriously affecting anything else. Give them a shot. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=79278 I noticed oddities in current issue microphones. They're very bright or as I like to call it, harsh an...

Your maybe you just didn't like the little star in their logo. Which is it?

Using El Capitan. On a laptop? Routing Soundflower input into it with sound activation on. Let's not worry about Soundflower for a bit. Can you record the laptop built-in microphone? Straight recording, no bells and whistles or fancy controls or tools. You don't even have to listen to it. Just get ...

MIDI doesn't count. Audacity doesn't speak MIDI enough to be useful to you. If it doesn't appear in Apple > System Preferences > Sound, then you can leave Audacity turned off until you fix that. This is a note from Sweetwater support. Class compliant USB makes the MultiMix 4 USB FX stand out from ot...

Yes, it looks just like that. It looks just like my Tiffany posting from the YouTube show and sounds OK, right? That's normal, expected behavior. Your other show is almost certainly damaged before you tried to listen to it. Windows laptops and now many Macs leave off the Stereo Line-In connection i...

You can email me at [email protected].com that'd be great. It would be great, but we're probably not going to do that because this isn't a help desk, it's a forum with users helping each other. While the Audacity window is selected but stuck, zoom to Full Screen. Top bar > View > Full Screen. Then mouse t...
