Make sure you musical keyboard actually has a stereo audio out. Mine doesn't and I use the headphone connection.

Head SET is still a single microphone and stereo headphones on one plug. It won't record stereo. I do it with a USB stereo adapter such as the Behringer UCA202. That's how I record my musical keyboard. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg That's my analog mixer on the ri...

The Alpha is not a mixer. Whatever you plug into the XLR on the back will appear on the Right in your stereo show. The instrument connection on the front appears on the Left in your show, whether it started out stereo or not. The stereo monitoring switch just feeds those single sound channels to bot...

I checked recording using the Logitech Cam mic and the laptop's inbuilt mic and have not encountered this problem, it seems to only happen when using the blue mic. You already narrowed it down to the microphone and I would argue the microphone type. There is one possible solution, but we stopped of...

Use the Audacity Device Toolbar and switch playback to the TV. I'm sure it's not going to say "Samsung," so you'll have to figure out which USB Device it is. USB Audio Codec? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/device_toolbar.html Make sure you plug in the TV before you start Audacity. Koz

You don't have to stop at one furniture moving blanket. This is an animation voice shoot I did in a quiet, but echo-plagued room. http://www.kozco.com/pictures/boothFinished/laptop-mic.jpg We can't take out echoes and that Live Room sound. That's why people record in a studio. We can put echoes in.....

32 bit is not going to help you with ACX posting. They require very good quality MP3. MP3 files do not make good archive and edit masters. For that you need the WAV files. While I like your story and voice quality in general, are you recording in a bare-floor room with little or nothing on the walls...

To be clear, the two samples you posted "Chapter 2. Cooper waited patiently..." sound the same. What doesn't match is the first clip you posted. None of us can figure out what happened to that one. I think some of my tools and processes don't much like 32-bit. That can create problems. You...

Post a screen capture of ACX-Test. You did that, too. This is me paying attention now. I'm having trouble making all the sound numbers come out at the same time. ACX-Check shows peak values way too high for normal sound processing. I'm pulling down the longer piece. Are both of those posts 32-bit? ...

Oh, yeah we did. Missed it.
