Audacity Forum

Are you connecting with FireWire 400 or FireWire 800? I see it has the option.

You have the limiter off, right?

Does it still do it if you try a recording and playback at 44100 (Audio CD rate), instead of 96000?

I believe FFMpeg should be able to open an AAC file.

Open Audacity preferences > Libraries and see if it "knows" where FFMpeg is. If it offers to go looking for it, then maybe you didn't install it right.

The Logitech information seems to suggest that the microphone has processing. The adjustable microphone reduces background noises for crystal-clear chatting.

"Singing" is the phrase that pays. You are probably a victim of Windows Enhanced Services. Enhanced Services tries to process your voice and eliminate background noises while you're speaking either in conference or one-on-one with someone on-line. It hates music. http://manual.audacityteam...

Would someone be so kind to suggest how I might clean up some of the louder sounds on this short recording? Certainly. Import the original clear recording in Audacity and either apply Steve's Vocal Rumble Filter or any filter that restricts vocal tones below about 120Hz or so. Effect > High Pass Fi...

Our problem with subliminals is the lack of authoritative testing procedure. Waiting for six months to see if you really do lose weight or stop smoking isn't going to do it. We need something more immediate like the tests for RMS, peak, noise levels, duration, etc., and there doesn't seem to be anyt...

If you export the performance it will do that, too.

Use the MUTE and SOLO buttons to the left of each track.
