Re: Blue Yeti Burning smell?

SMD - Surface Mounted Devices. That's those little bugs with the hair-thin legs. I do mine under a zoom microscope and even then it's not fun. You need a soldering station with a really tiny point and there are special soldering techniques when the devices get down that small. DMM - Digital Multi Me...

Re: Complete noob, looking to see if I'm close to ACX standa

Are you using the one-click ACX Check (Zip attached) or the manual process? Unpack that Zip and slide acx-check.ny into your Audacity Plugins folder. In use It appears under Analyze, not Effects.

Re: Blue Yeti Burning smell?

You can absolutely substitute a good 5 volt lab power supply for the ratty 5 volts coming down from the computer's USB services. That's how flynwill got rid of his USB noise problems. You can't substitute the 13.5 volts from your car. I think you have a decorative object in the shape of a Yeti, not ...

Re: record vocal+guitar with 2 mics, mixer & laptop on audac

Re: A bug with WAV resampling?

Re: Does opening a wav file with audacity degrade it?

Audacity also adds dither to the output file. Audacity does everything internally at 32-bit floating in order to avoid damage that may be caused by multiple effects and filters. The conversion back to 16-bit (assuming you're in 16-bit) always has a slight amount of intentional noise. You can turn of...
