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

That's a mistake!!

The show is available on Tape Out and Main Out. Control Room out is just for monitoring the show as it goes. Not the show itself.

Re: Normalize - will not normalize entire recording

Anything like that, pencil drops, pops from bad edits, start/stop problems will drive those tools nuts. It sounds like they should be doing fancy things to your show, but in reality they're just turning the volume up and down according to rules. Normalize and Amplify are sister tools. One sets relat...

Re: Specific robot voice

This posting has many hits over 24 hours, but nobody knows how to do the smooth echo or the robot voice in Audacity.

Re: Normalize - will not normalize entire recording

"Normalize" doesn't do what you think. It picks the highest point of the tallest blue wave on the timeline and changes the volume of the show (or the part you selected) until that one point is as tall as you told it to be. If you select the whole show and there is one point on one blue wav...

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

Almost all modern computers need a little help hooking up a mixer. Last time I bought a new computer, I bought an old design just so I could get the Stereo connections. The new design doesn't have them. You can't use most computer Mic-In connections to connect a mixer. The connection overloads very ...

Re: .mogg files not working?

Also, since you're on Windows, you could have a file called MyMusic.mogg.mp4 and Windows would conveniently hide the .mp4 extension leading you to think you had a straight .mogg file.

Re: .mogg files not working?

I understand. One of the first Google hits says: Use Audacity to open your .mogg file." I'm betting they left out a step. Audacity isn't all that talented by itself, but it does very well after you add the FFMpeg software. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Drill down to the FFMpeg software. Koz

Re: Phantom Powered Mics dis-connecting me from internet

I went right to that because it's extremely unlikely that Windows Vista could do something simple and create that much damage. It's a red flag.

Re: Phantom Powered Mics dis-connecting me from internet

That would mean dangerous in what way? If wall socket wiring is reversed, the metal case of your computer equipment could be connected to the house power instead of ground. When you said "I do this and all my computers go nuts", it could mean that hazardous voltages are going down your co...

Re: Record in-game audio with pressing hotkey for recording

Audacity is a collaboration between a number of different developers. Nothing is for sure and program changes can take a long time.

We do recommend FRAPS if you can't get Audacity to do what you want.
