Re: How do I control recording volume?

Like this?

My Audacity recording sliders do work with this device, but it's not the latest Audacity. I may have to come back to this. I have to leave for a while.

Re: Recording Quality via Speakers and Dual headphones

It may not be a problem of either Audacity or WASAPI. What U Hear or Stereo Mix is a dual pathway. It runs the sound down most of the playback pathway, turns it around and brings it back in to the record pathway. Modern Windows machines try to help you out by automatically adding effects and filters...

Re: Can't record from cassette player

500 pixels
Per direction, not total.

500 pixels tall or 650 wide. Whichever comes first.

Re: Unintentional bass boost from analogue source

There is one common mistake that people make when they do jobs like this and that is to do everything in MP3. DO NOT save the work in MP3. MP3 is a compressed format and causes sound damage. Always. Export your work as WAV (Microsoft) and that can be the archive. You can make anything you wish from ...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

The frequency smoothing algorithm itself needs improvement to overcome the downsides of it that Bill and Steve and I Have noticed.
What are the real-world implications of this improvement? 6 Smoothing stops working by any chance?

Re: Pause Button

I assume you mean the "P" key on the keyboard. Is Caps Lock on? It may not make any difference, but it might. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Keyboard. See if the P key is still mapped to "PAUSE." I assume you restarted the machine before you posted right? If you ran a program th...

Re: Ambient noise in track after compression and equalizatio

There is one item way back at the beginning of the thread that I missed. You said you uninstalled Audacity 2.10. Audacity doesn't make a version 2.10. That's a bogus program from somebody else. That may be why it didn't work right. You can get Audacity 2.1.0 from here. http://web.audacityteam.org/do...

Re: Chopped up audio

Has anyone run into this before? Yes, but nobody's sure exactly what the cause is. Does it slowly get worse and worse, or at one magic time it loses its mind? Post some of the damaged sound on the forum. Or, if you have a hosting service, point us to it. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

It's not up to me. ACX, who is adamantly opposed to noise reduction in any form, seems to be unable to detect Noise Reduction run at 6 smoothing. I can't hear it, either. In my opinion what sells it is the subtle mouth and breath noises that remain in the performance. It doesn't murder everything be...

Re: Problems with the new Noise Reduction replacing Noise Re

Musical noise is right outside of my world. I believe you. However, spoken word fails repeatedly at 0 and 6 seems to be the sweet spot. Since the forum collects multiple ACX AudioBook failures, I think 0 default in that case is not desirable.
