Audacity Forum

We did have one energetic dance with a poster who plugged his microphone and computer together, got fresh coffee, and started making perfect overdubs. The factory latency setting happened to work out exactly right for him. Of course, the instant he got a new computer everything went to pieces. "...

What he said. The Audacity Latency adjustment is to line up the backing track with the fresh recording. If you get that one wrong, every time you make a fresh recording, it will lay down before or after the backing track. You can fix that later with the Time Shift Tool, but that's a pain and you sho...

It is suggested, strongly , that you apply all three tools in the mastering suite before you do anything else. Measure your results and then maybe apply touch ups here and there as needed. There's nothing quite like having voice processing tools fighting each other. We can give you a really good ide...

I need to implement white noise ideally up to 193KHz for testing application (not only for audio). Remember that? There are radio transmitters running at that frequency and we still have to get the work out of the computer and into the test. Further, for good stable digital accuracy, you could need...

There is a caution here. Audacity regularly burns scientists because if it's a toss-up between perfect, (apparent) scientific accuracy and sounding good. Audacity will always opt for sounding good. For good, predictable accuracy, you are advised to say away from the Nyquist sampling limit. Approachi...
