Re: USB pre-amp with direct monitor for electret microphone

I did the Tip, Ring, Sleeve version. Scroll around if the graphic doesn't fit. I did it before the forum graphic standards were posted. Everything to the right of the dotted lines is adapter. The original design was not for three-pin XLR but for a "dry" 1/8" plug. Tie XLR pins one and...

Re: Recording noise getting worse... not better

I made and mounted a picture of what it looks like when you fold one of those stands up. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/OnStageStands9701B-Folded.jpg The bottom assembly loosens and pushes the feet up the vertical cutting the stand length to 2/3. You can probably do even better by disconnecting ...

Re: Taging songs from Spotify playlist

If the songs have gaps between them, you might be able to get song recognizing software like Shazam to straighten them out.

Re: Taging songs from Spotify playlist

legal to download from Spotify with premium account wich I have Not exactly how I read it. They say the Premium Account allows you to listen off-line. Not quite the same thing. I suspect they want you to stay inside the Spotify ecosystem and that will give you your track, cut and music management. ...

Re: Help needed - slight ghosting on finished product

I'm not completely sure which way to go with this. It's fairly certain that the excessive noise reduction is causing the sound distortion. It's famous for it. So use your tool pathway but use a lower Noise Reduction number. If you still have some odd, residual sizzly distortion, then try applying th...

You have Windows routing problems and I'm not a Windows elf, so we need to wait for one of those.

I'm in 25-step ToffeeDoodle Anonymous. "My name is Koz, and I'm a ToffeeDoodle Compulsive." "Hi, Koz." I got it to pass and sound more natural, but it won't pass ACX Check because the clip has no half-second or more of room tone. About the best I could find is 1/3 second and that...

Re: Audacity not recording system sounds

The best way to record Skype (or other voip) is to use software that is designed specifically for the job, such as Pamela for Skype. Recording is harder than you think. Skype, for one example, got to be so popular by viciously re-configuring your computer to suit itself as it's working. At the end ...

Re: Help needed - slight ghosting on finished product

I keep all versions at every stage! Completely neurotic because (whisper it) I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing... I'm very pleased. You can always throw out work you don't need, but desperately needing to go back to work you don't have is way too common. Being professionally obsessive I ...
