Audacity Forum

Close Audacity. Does Windows see the microphone and do you get the Win7 little bouncing sound meter in the control panels? Audacity gets its sound from Windows. If Windows can't find it, that's the end of the story.

How are you deleting the work? Drag-select a portion and press the DEL key?

I thought so. This is a text grab from a commentary about the SM7. If Shure had any sense, they would offer to bundle a Cloudlifter unit with each SM7B they sell. It's a simple, elegant solution. You can run your Lifter from the Phantom Generator you bought (MicroPower PS400 "Mic Thru"), o...

Actually 12.6.6. We needed a little more aggression than the devil could do. Is it still the case that if you start getting closer to 20, you should probably start addressing other shortcomings in your recording environment? 12 used to leave just barely audible stuff floating in the sound (snake voi...

I think to specifically answer, yes you do have to record with the sound meter in the yellow zone and solve the noise problem. It would be nice to be able to put tape and magic marker on the knobs and controls where they have to be for a good recording, but they don't work like that. The proper sett...

That is not a good thing. No. It's not. This may be where you pay somebody to set you up and then show you how to run it all. About every third step in the self-setup is going to be "Test and see if it sounds OK." My final test before I submit custom filters and processing for someone is ...

In my opinion, you're stuck even with advanced software. Once you burn processing like Noise Removal or Compression into a performance, that's the end of the world. Further processing is just going to dig you a hole deeper and deeper. We urge strongly that the performer export and save raw performan...
