Re: Distortion/interference on Audacity recordings

I bought a new computer. Describe the computer. Deskside? I'm betting a laptop. Newer laptop computers are missing the high-level stereo connection older machines have. This causes problems for cassette machines and stand-alone analog devices. This is a soundcard typical of older computers. http://...

Make sure you don't have Sound Activated Recording selected.
Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording [_] Sound Activated Recording (de-select).

Re: Splitting albums recorded as one long track

You can do it manually. Silent-Sense is always a recipe for frustration because vinyl records and actual tape recordings don't have silence. You can scan down the recording and put a label at the beginning of each song (including the first one). Then File > Export Multiple will break up the work acc...

Re: Converting a Dynamics Processing Curve from Audition...

Sometimes if you tell us the goal we can just tell you if we can do it.

Be sure and mention the INFO from that pink band above.

Re: Converting a Dynamics Processing Curve from Audition...

Last I checked, Audacity doesn't have an expander, so we can't do the bottom of that curve. We might be able to simulate the top part in Compressor or Limiter.

Re: Anyone have luck? External USB Sound Card w/double mic-p

For 95c you can try it and see. I'd be a lot happier if it didn't say 7.1 Channel Surround in the ad. What does that mean? It doesn't seem to say. I found it valuable to Google Complaints about a device. This does appear to only work with analog headsets like this (stereo or mono). Do you have such ...

Re: Multi-Track Digital Recorder vice other solutions

allow the user to have a line out function for the FX Send channel that can be connected to an additional device I think there is a misconception there. All these mixers will do that...once. There is one FX-Send connection (line level) that takes the mix-down of all the FX-Send knobs . Any time you...

Re: What to do with non-talking track in interview?

what do you think of my proposed solution? Too much work and too high a possibiliy for damage. I had your configuration right up to the last post. So you have a stereo track of you (two blue waves) and a mono track of the guest right above each other on the timeline like the attached (click the gra...
