Re: Suggestion (Bandpass Filter and Custom FFT Filter)

You can save a filter for use later. You don't have to do it manually every time. If they're all different, then yes, that's a problem. my hobby is related to science, not music Audacity can be something of a science minefield. It's not a wave editor. It's a musical performance editor and some liber...

Re: Static/distortion on recording in Yosemite

You said a scary thing. It's usually a bad idea to "Y" cable a microphone. How are you going to dual capture?

I did it with two microphones and recorders (the client had one).

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

I think I'm getting a dizzy headache. There are two similar jobs going through the forum at once and I can't keep track of which is which. Forget Audacity for a minute. See Attach. Do you see the red PK and yellow AVG lights on the mixer? The microphone is plugged into the far upper left connection,...

Re: Static/distortion on recording in Yosemite

find another recording solution.
Can you roll the machine back to Mavericks? This used to work, right?

Re: Static/distortion on recording in Yosemite

I've read of others having static on recording, but it goes away when the file is exported. It's possible to hear static and instability during the recording and have it turn out to be a playback problem. In other words, the show is being recorded perfectly OK, but the machine can't play it back. Y...

Re: Can any turntable use Audacity?

There it is.

The older unit is just a preamp. You still need to find a way to get it into your computer. The second unit is USB.

Re: Can any turntable use Audacity?

We recommend, strongly, that you use your high quality existing turntable over any convenient modern USB turntable. Behringer makes a very nice Phono Preamp, the UFO202. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UFO202 Switch it to Phono, be sure and connect the thin black turntable ground lead . Selec...

Re: MY RECORDING STAYS AT ONE LEVEL (0.5) AND IS REALLY FUZZ

Missed that. Yes, the UFO-202 can switch its inputs. "Phono" has a signal boost and can overload if you connect a mixer rather than a classic turntable.

Re: MY RECORDING STAYS AT ONE LEVEL (0.5) AND IS REALLY FUZZ

You have a UCA202 but are you recording from it? If you unplug the UCA even for a brief instant, Audacity will "forget" it and start recording from any other service it can find. If you have a second connection into the Mic-In of your computer, that connection may be next on the list. You ...
