Re: Audacity not recording Internet audio

Recording The Internet is not recording VOIP, Skype or Chat. Those are special purpose audio applications and Audacity frequently has troubles with those. Skype in particular has a number of special purpose applications available for recording both sides. Pamela http://www.pamela.biz/en/products/ A...

Re: ACX check

Attached. This is after very gentle volume compression.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go lick my paw.

Re: ACX check

No, it doesn't pass (it's easily patchable to be only 2dB off instead of 3). Our tools are not licensed by ACX. They're very close approximations to the standards both posted by them and proven to work in actual posted and published work. Chances are terrifically good if you pass acx-check in Audaci...

Re: Shape of portable vocal booth matters?

OK. Back in front of a real keyboard. There are simple ways of eliminating noises coming up from the desk or floor below. There's the towel and book method. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MicBookTowel-500t.jpg And the spider method. http://www.kozco.com/tech/pvcShockMount/final.jpg That's a home...

Re: Charlie Brown (Peanuts) Teacher Voice

It's a frequent request: "How do I make my voice sound like [option]?" Frequently requested, not often solved. I would type out the dialog in broad script form and have a trombone player perform it. I don't know of any software method of reproducing that from filtering a single voice. You ...

Re: Shape of portable vocal booth matters?

I would want to hear the room without the $27. With the microphone on the desk, I guarantee they had no noise coming up from the apartment below. Do you have a sound clip? If not, you only have their word on it. My "studio" is soundproofed, but if you're not paying attention, you would mis...

Re: Recording with C Media USB Mic

Use the Mac. I can clear the IT office in fifteen seconds by walking in and saying: "Hi. I have a Linux audio problem." "Was that the fire alarm? Can't take chances" "Would you look at the time." "I just remembered a dentist appointment." "I think I hear ...

Re: New DJ, looking for general preferred settings

Another note. The UM2 has two 1/4" inputs. The Line-In in the center of the XLR connector and the Instrument-In by itself. If you are connecting a mixer, you need the Line-In. Instrument-In has higher sensitivity is likely to overload when connected to a mixer. Instrument-In is intended for a l...

Re: New DJ, looking for general preferred settings

Can we assume lower case "@"? I have a UM2. I also have a Behringer UCA-202 which is stereo and that's what I use between my mixer and the computer. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg Are you doing it with the UM2 because you happen to have it? Do you have an...
