Re: error opening sound device

but that don't seem to work either anymore...
How much hard drive space do you have? You have symptoms of a computer slowly being strangled.

Re: new EQ loses last position upon reopen

You should be able to name the equalization setting as "something." I'm not shocked the system won't let you use "unnamed" as that name needs to remain available for the next time you need to save a curve. It's a programming construction, not a real name. Any way you can step bac...

Re: Un-Removable clicks in audio?

The blips are places where the sound vanishes. They are not little errors and they will not respond to patches or filters.

Re: Stand-Alone Recorder

Center Isolation does a better job in this regard, minus 120 dB at least. May not be an unqualified joy. That depends on me being in the exact center of the microphone during the presentation. If I'm not, that portion of the voice direction error will drop out of center isolation giving me a swimmy...

Re: mixing narration and music

The blue waves go in percent. The sound meter uses dB. -6dB on the sound meter works out to 50% (half-way up or down) on the blue waves. That's the goal for live recording. We picked -6dB on the meters to allow you some artistic freedom before hitting 0 (100%) which is overload. The digital system a...

Re: Stand-Alone Recorder

That's another decision. I created that clip by Stereo > Mono mixing. I could also have used either of the two directions. I think the noise gets better when I do it this way. By what? Square root of something something? I did some of the experiments in stereo conference recording at work. Very High...

Re: Stand-Alone Recorder

The "manual" recording setting is affected by the generic +/- control on the front. As is common with these things, it never goes up high enough, so I have the setting jammed all the way up and I can't hit -6dB meter with my voice. But I can hit -12, so that will have to do. I have no idea...

Re: Making subliminals with audactity

Shouldnt it be as easy as turning the vocals down and the music up? I'm going with no, or it's harder than that. One of the ways to kill a normal, good quality recording is to leave a TV running in the background very quietly by accident. There's no way to get rid of that from the main show and it'...
