Re: Big Sur?

I cranked out a technically correct ACX voice test submission with a Zoom H1n. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ZoomH1nTechnicalSetup.jpg That picture is the Hollywood version, in real life, it's one bathroom roll taller (I sit high) and has a heavy blue moving blanket on the table.

Re: Big Sur?

Rosetta 2 compatibility layer built into MacOS Big Sur. I wondered about that. I remember the chaos when they abandoned PowerPC in favor of Intel. The people who get killed have designed software to take advantage of Intel errors or little-documented features. That will get you notoriety or market ...

Re: Recording problem

Do you automatically apply all Windows updates? Windows did an update a short time ago that caused all kinds of problems.

I'm not a Windows elf, but start here and read down the Windows branch.

Re: Understanding Waveform and Loudness

Zoom is a security nightmare so unless an emplyer forced me to use it, I'd never use it. That's what we used to think about Skype sessions right up until all the clients started using it and we had no choice. So I'll take that as no. We did have a Skype-like service for a while and eventually gave ...

Re: Understanding Waveform and Loudness

your expectations as well. My experiences have been perfect because I do it the legacy way with two computers and sound mixer. My other experiences are fielding many postings from people who would kill to be able to record both sides of a conversation on any of the technologies using just one compu...

I don’t quite hear the distortion. How are you listening? Top quality, wired headphones? Good quality office music system? Is your hearing OK? Distortion tends to gather in the wispy, high-pitched, hiss, fuzz ranges. That's the first thing to go when you're turning into a codger or codgerette. The ...

But not sure why you feel that "I" am a unicorn?!)
Notable for its unusual nature. You say you can record phone calls with little or no damage?

Re: How to fix a broken track?

Did you wash the CD? I borrowed a music CD from a friend and he handed it to me with his fingers on both sides of the disk. He said it sometimes didn't play very well. Gentle wash with warm lightly soapy water, rinse, and dry gently with a fluffy towel. No more skips. This doesn't work if the disk i...

Re: ACX

Which Audacity are you using? The current Audacity, 2.4.2 doesn't use the Lame encoder.
