Re: Samson G-Track Headphone output right ear quiet

Yes, it is supposed to work. This is from the Sweetwater web page.

Re: Noise Gate - newbie question

The threshold is set, to take the above example, so when the tuning fork loudness decreases to the threshold (real) value, the sound snaps to -96 instead of continuing to decline gradually. Of course, in real life the tuning fork is still gradually getting softer and softer, but the digital show sud...

Re: Noise Gate - newbie question

When we talk about dB, we're talking about the sound meters, not the blue waves. The blue waves are in percent because it's a little easier to edit like that In My Opinion. The default blue waves don't even show you all the audible sound, only the loudest parts. The + and - on the blue waves present...

Re: Eliminating audio overlap from left and right channels

Last time that happened to me, someone had left "Cathedral Effects" running in Windows. I couldn't get total channel isolation no matter what I did and the machine would not pass quality control like that. Sound familiar? Dig around in Windows Sound Control Panels and see what you find. Se...

Re: Noise Gate - newbie question

It seems funny because it is. The job of the gate is not to reduce the noise to Zero. It's to reduce the noise to -96dB or whatever the most silent value is in the digital system you're using. This makes the gated sound inaudible. Zero, or 0dB is the loudest it gets before the system runs out of num...

Re: Samson G-Track Headphone output right ear quiet

You mean like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/samsonGTrackConnections.jpg I don't remember having trouble with that. Yes, the microphone is mono, but I'm pretty sure the microphone feeds both sides of the headphone. Clean the headphone plug with alcohol or unflavored vodka (same thing) ...

What he said. Once you get to the point that a human can't figure out what the words are, Audacity isn't going to help you. Our line is "We can't do forensics" (like CSI). We also don't do legal actions, if this hadn't occurred to you. "If I could only make out the words I could sue m...

Re: Only one waveform mp3 files

If you have a single blue wave track and the panel to the left says "Mono" like the attached, then the show is certified mono and will play to both left and right in your headphones. The sound will be the same on both sides. You will not have violins from the left and trumpets to the right...
