Re: High pitched background noise.

Finally a diagnosis! Yes, that flummoxed us for a long time. The noise changes with everything. Put a hub in, take hub out, lengthen the USB cable, shorten the cable, decrease the humidity, try it on Thursday .... etc. One thing all those changes never did was reduce the noise to zero. That happene...

Re: "show clipping" - confused over results

I don't know there is a good way. Flirting with clipping/overload is dangerous and complicated. If, for example, you have lots of crisp drums in the work, the effects of clipping may never be heard. The damage overtones and harmonics will be up where only dogs can hear. We recommend live recording p...

Re: How to remove clicking/popping

If the machine isn't up to the job, you may get clicks and pops in the sound as the system struggles to keep up, worse if you have othe...

Re: "show clipping" - confused over results

Does it still do that in Audacity 2.1.0? It might not. http://web.audacityteam.org/download/ Going into and out of MP3 can cause real clipping. MP3 changes the electrical characteristics of the sound and sometimes, if the wind isn't at your back, the sound gets louder. So nobody's shocked about that...

Re: Getting rid of some echo on my audio
