Re: sound but no waveform after new microphone and interface

Organ music up and under. Announce: When we last left Pepper Young's Family, Pepper was trying to record the Solo in stereo instead of mono and turning the Audacity recording slider all the way up. What happened to the blue waves? Can you make them all the way tall? Unless you can make the Audacity ...

Re: Sudden audio distortion

What's the possibility you ran out of room? Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts MP3 to uncompressed filetypes and then reconverts them to Audacity's super high quality internal file type. So those tracks are a lot bigger than you think they are. Further, each time you perform some types of edit, ...

Re: Sudden audio distortion

You might consider "Lossless Project." Those are a bit more robust and stable in times of great stress.

Re: sound but no waveform after new microphone and interface

To read that back to you. We have more or less proven the NT1-A and the Solo are working exactly as designed. Audacity doesn't, by design, apply effects, filters, or corrections during recording. Audacity will record whatever is there. Audacity gets its sound from Windows, not the Solo. So that leav...

Re: ACX Check: RMS vs Peak

I tweaked it a bit more What does that mean? The mastering suite was designed to make any reading pass, tweaked or not. Announce a ten second sound test and post it on the forum. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Read down the blue links. They're very short. Do not app...

Re: Audacity USB/Mic Problems Can anyone help ?

Make sure you connect your microphone system first and then start Audacity. Audacity automatically checks for new devices when it starts. If you connect something later, Audacity may not see it. You can force Audacity to look for new devices at any time with Transport > Rescan. This can cause some s...

Re: sound but no waveform after new microphone and interface

Are you giving furtive, longing glances at your Snowball? We're just dealing with the plain mechanics. Push this button, turn that knob. We haven't started to deal with voice quality and theater issues yet.

Re: sound but no waveform after new microphone and interface

It's clearly black magic. No, but sometimes dark gray. There are two ways to get your live voice into your headphones. The naughty way is a setting in Audacity. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording > [_] Playthrough. Do Not Select Playthrough. That's the one with an echo. Your Solo is perfectl...
