Audacity Forum

Audacity doesn't support ASIO, so it doesn't matter which drivers you install. You're pretty much limited to the normal Windows drivers and services. I don't know what those are because I'm a Mac elf. Other elves will be along.

It doesn't have to be Audacity, either. Windows has tools to "help" you with voice recording. Windows Advanced Services. They default on. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements Many people find simple voice recordings to work a lot better witho...

Are you using Noise Removal? The noise level before the first word is very low. Most people can't record noise that low without a studio, so you may be using Audacity 2.0.6 Noise Removal. The early Noise Removal would sometimes damage the voice and there wasn't a lot you could do about it. Even wors...

I'll listen in a minute. Please note that performers in all the pictures you've ever seen are wearing headphones. Skype is very good about return path management and echo cancellation, but it provides best, clearest sound if it doesn't have to do that at all. So complete separation between listening...

I did eventually resolve the problem where Denise couldn't hear the music. The Skype computer had switched away from the music signal and was using the built-in microphone. I assume it did that to "help me."

Stop helping.

Try it. For one thing, The Skype computer headphone signal is going to arrive at the mixer mono. That means you will get either Left or Right in the show, not both. You can cure that with a Y cable. The other end is a lot more of a problem. If the Skype computer connection is a headset, that means i...
