Audacity Forum

That's just too broad. The next longest posting on the forum was Bruno who wanted to record his acoustic guitar. That's it. Weeks of postings and threads about how to do that. The longest posting was Ian who wanted to record his voice for an AudioBook. More weeks of forum threads. I know it's popula...

Does that mean that I need to perform the physical loop back... for each track I do? The computer is brand new with 8 gig of RAM, so it should be fast enough to keep up with any "listening" latency. Once you set it the Recording Latency it should stay set for anything you're likely to do....

We can't see what you're doing and we have to build your system in our imaginations in order to fix it, so the more detailed information, part numbers, descriptions the better.

You may get away with not using Audacity at all. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/MP3 Scroll down for other editors that don't do this conversion dance...

If the laptop is deciding you are doing a conference, Skype or communication session, it will test for voice and suppress any sustained tones or sounds figuring them for interference. Voices work OK and music doesn't. You should also note that you are working with two different clock signals in the ...

I did a job where I needed to capture a room of people giving notes on a theatrical performance. The prevailing wisdom was just make a simple recording like you did and go home. I insisted on a top quality stereo capture of the review and later, it was possible to clearly hear and understand multipl...
