Re: adjust recording level

Does your Mac have a Stereo Line-In?

Some smaller Macs have one connection that can switch.

Maybe you don't need the UCA202 at all.

Re: adjust recording level

I do not find a mixer in Audacity The mixer is a physical device. That's mine on the right. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg I cannot regulate the tapedeck line out. So you have one of these: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/UCA202.jpg And that's the problem. No a...

Re: What headphones best for editing? Regular or studio?

One other purchasing trick. When you get the decision close, Google Product Complaints and pay attention to the negative ones.

"These headphones fell apart almost immediately, sound so bad they made my ears bleed and caused electrical problems in the sound console." Do Not Recommend.

Re: What headphones best for editing? Regular or studio?

Per TYPES NOT BRANDS of headphones: We keep doing that because the overall tendency is to associate a job with a brand. "Professional Studio Monitor" headphones doesn't mean anything. You start throwing words like that around a movie studio and they'll start worrying about calling securit...

Re: Recording and Burning to CDs

I wonder why you don't just email an MP3 to each participant so they can play it on their smartphone? Can you still buy blank CDs? I know the latest sweep of Mac products won't burn them any more.

Re: Recording and Burning to CDs

Audacity doesn't burn anything, so the top level answer is no, particularly if you want to hand them a CD as they're getting into the car. If you can do all this in post production (later), then I would record the works with a personal audio recorder (or even the recorder in a smartphone). You can b...

Re: Recording doesn't work ? Latency problem ! :/

This response is BS. No, it's not. Audacity cannot give you that error message if Overdubbing is set to off. Please check it again. If you do have that combination of errors, then you may have a damaged Audacity or a bogus Audacity made by somebody else. You can solve both with a fresh download and...

Re: adjust recording level

The UCA202 has no normal volume controls. That's one reason it's so cheap. If you're recording high volume in Audacity, you should reduce the show volume at the mixer. My mixer and Audacity meters rarely come out even. The mixer is normally run slightly lower than I would normally run it to make Aud...

Re: Playback meter malfunctioning, Audacity 2.1.1

I don't think I've ever heard of a sound meter malfunctioning, so let's assume it's not. Particularly since you changed Audacity versions and the problem didn't go away. It sounds like feedback. Feedback doesn't have to sound like howling at the club or school meeting (...eeeeEEEEE) when somebody ge...
