Re: DJM 900NXS Not Being Read

Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Sound > Input. Does the mixer appear in that list?

Could this be as simple as restarting Audacity? Audacity only automatically connects to USB when it starts. Also Transport > Rescan.

Re: Improving audio

Which Pearlcorder do you have? the mic was bad and it was out of warranty. You do have your timing problems. The makers knew what they were doing. They said so, clearly in the instructions. You hit Customer Relations with an Olympus recorder design that may be older than they are. There's only so mu...

Re: Displaying extension on Mac title bar

Can anyone give me instructions to display the app's extent? No, but I bet I know why it's not there. The clips are not OGG and AIFF inside Audacity. They get converted into Audacity's own internal super audio format. Audacity doesn't have Clip INFO, either. Change the filenames to reflect what you...

Re: Strange audio problem

I had that happen with an older Audacity. If you listen carefully, it's splitting the sound up into tiny chunks and then delaying one set of chunks, such as every other. You can hear the same same words words twice twice as it bubbles. I don't know that we ever solved it. I restarted my machine and ...

Re: Improving audio

The original equipment manufacturer turns out to be Audio Technica (attached). I'm not a fan of Audio Technica. They make knock-off versions of better equipment. That makes the Radio Shack a copy of a knock-off. I need to purchase another one and hesitate trying another ME12. Don't. It's not going t...

Re: Very low gain (Blue Yeti)

Would a powered usb hub help in any way? Some youtuber recommended that. That's solving the wrong problem. Yeti microphones are subject to data signals seeping into the sound. I call it The Yeti Curse or Frying Mosquitoes. Listen to the background when I stop talking. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity...

Re: Removing muffled bass sound

NPR used to use Tascams. You should know that many high-end recorders have a Low-Cut or High Pass Filter (same thing) setting available for just this kind of job. I'm sure when you're sitting in the club that it's a sensation to have the bass move your shirt (I've seen people move closer to the bass...
