Nobody's said these English words yet: You know there's two latencies, right? You typically can't listen to the computer for overdubbing because of Machine Latency. The headphone feed will always be one computer late. The time it takes for the sound to get into and then back out of the computer. It ...

I'm tearing your test posting apart. That's not all rain-on-a-summer-afternoon hiss back there. You have a lot of room noises. Do you have vent fans or air conditioners? Refrigerators? I applied Steve's rumble voice filter and I'm still left with traffic noises....something. It's not loud enough to ...

My recording volume setting was at .50. I have adjusted it to 1.00 and recorded a new sample. ... it seems to intensify the hiss. Which is actually making this worse. Typically, Audacity and Macs don't change the volume of USB microphones. You plug a USB device in and the volume controls go all the...

I assume it sounds OK now, or it would not have passed ACX Human Quality Control. They're pretty sensitive to vocal quality issues. That clip should be a raw capture sample with no effects or filters. I'll take a listen in a bit. There is one note. I will not be on Audacity 2.0.6. I'm using 2.1.0 an...

(without distortion) That's the trick. Everybody adds loudness distortion. People who make pure, clean, undistorted music recordings notice right away that the sound isn't as loud as commercially purchased music. Then they notice that just turning the volume up doesn't work because sound peaks turn...

If the car is that talented, no doubt it will also play DATA CDs in which case you can get a great many MP3 songs on a CD. Many Audio CD Authoring and Burning programs will do that, although you do have to make the MP3s in Audacity.

Audacity doesn't burn anything. Typically, you prepare the songs in Audacity, export them in perfect WAV (Microsoft) format, and present them to the disk burning and authoring program. It's the authoring program that does any conversions needed.

Here you go. Missing puzzle piece. You can't buy those. There are adapters that appear to be correct, but the wiring inside is custom. I made those with my tools and soldering iron. The 1/8" female is chopped from a Radio Shack three-to-one headphone adapter. It happens to have the right connec...

That's a different maker version of the Radio Shack version of the AT microphone that I have. http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/55540ea6a5fbc94d/index.html The battery doesn't boost the volume. That just makes it so the microphone works at all . Switch it on (with the battery installed) a...
