Re: recording both comp sound and external mic simultaneousl

Aggregate Device has the additional problem of fixed volume. If one portion of the device has low volume compared to the other, you can't always do anything about it. Then there's the possibility of feedback. Soundflower already has odd signal pathways and if you add more, you could make it try to p...

Re: Recovering Audacity files after Chkdsk disaster

I think starting with Audacity 2.0.0, the filenames are intentionally scrambled. So there is that. Which version of Audacity are you using?

Re: Editing Tips b4 I grow old

great work Detective That's the down side of Too Much Understanding. Yes it could be a massive unbalance in the three thousand volt city high tension wires that go over the house, or it could be a short, green, warty, slathering, reptilian hummy monster who lives between the beams in the attic.... ...

Re: Help with a single PC, single mixer, single Mic setup

Good start. The microphone, cable, MicPre, basic mixer, and power supply are all working. Reduce the Gain and Level controls to about 3:00 o'clock. Increase Main Mix to around 3:00 o'clock. Make sure Phantom Power is turned off. Your microphone doesn't need it. I have your microphone except mine doe...

Re: Are there any good YouTube videos on Audacity?

Some have entertainment value. My favorites are the three-handed people who can't edit. I'm going to hold the camera during this demo and illustrate the subject with my other two hands. Oh, wait. I don't have two other hands..... Then I'm going to stop the monolog for a second to set up the next ill...

When I double click the file Those are the wrong words. "I saved the Audacity project on my desktop. I see both the AUP project manager file and the _DATA folder of the same name containing the actual music. I double click the AUP file and Audacity automatically launches and opens the show.&qu...

Re: Help with a single PC, single mixer, single Mic setup

OK. Basics. Turn on the mixer. Forget the computer. Green power light should come on. Plug the microphone and XLR cable into the MIC-1 connection. The controls associated with the microphone tend to run in up and down strips or channels (even in much larger mixers). Once you learn how to run yours, ...

Re: Are there any good YouTube videos on Audacity?

No. But you missed one. A well-paced, clear, polished, easy to understand, video for a feature that no longer exists. And that's the main reason we don't do them. New version of Audacity!! Time to set up the studio and microphones and spend the next several weeks revising the videos. I did consider ...

Re: HELP PLEASE WAY TO FIND OUT IF CALL IS EDITED

The blue waves will only show you about the loudest 30dB or so of the show. Any quieter than that you have to go to the sound meters which will bounce with sound down to the limit (about -90dB). That Effect > Amplify thing is the other way to show quiet stuff. It's going to be impossible to separate...
