Audacity Forum

Someone will correct me, but doesn't that follow the Audacity playback volume slider (speaker icon)? My two volume controls "stick" where they are, so it's possible yours may, too.

Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Audio > Input. Do you see your connection there? USB-AUDIO, something something (we don't know how you're connected yet). Does the blue ball sound meter bounce when you say something?

Does plugging your headphones into the mixer work?

So it's shoot the video with what will become the guide sound track. Load it into the video editor, split off the sound track, open it in Audacity and use that as the base or timing track for overdubbing. Export the final production Audacity track and import into the video in the video editor. It's ...

The length of delay will vary from gun to gun as they will be different distances from the trees.

Right. And after you get one convincing report, rapid fire will smoosh everything together, but the two ends of the firefight have to work to carry the effect.

Got it finished and stored. Did it work? Was that first recording successful? Sometimes problems show up way earlier than anyone thinks. Did you actually play back that recording and listen, or did you see the blue waves and that was that? Audacity checks for USB connections when it starts. If you ...

Volume doesn't bother me, is there roughly the same number of people and noises in the hall for each of the performances? If not, there is little chance you are going to make this sound like one show. The grownups have a hard time doing that. Did you have the recorder in the back of the hall? We can...
