Audacity Forum

That "frying mosquitoes" noise clip I posted? That was from a USB MicPre.

You should probably stay here. It's not unusual for a posting thread to wander and as long as it wanders in a logical manner, it should be OK. One of the longest threads on the forum wandered several times and it's good to follow it like reading a book.

Now I'm caught up. I would have thought your forum moderation would have evaporated by now and your postings would be immediate. I'm in complete agreement with the microphone type, but I do question the combination of preamp and icicle. Is there a specific reason for that combination? I can't memori...

Good that it worked. I've never used some of those tools, so it was a bit of a fishing rip.

It makes resetting easier, it doesn't eliminate all the problems.

"I reinstalled Audacity but the problem continued."

People already know how to reset Audacity.

Noise Reduction (not Removal) will have to be set up for each track. That's not to say the User has to do that, but the software will have to do it multiplying the calculation time and making the second pass application phase almost impossible. Automatically mix and render and apply N/R to the resul...

I can't tell where you're going with that. Those two postings have no picture.

The Audio-Technica AT2020 USB+ and the Blue Spark Digital have built-in digital interface. The icicle isn't required for connection to either one.

I remember another piece of this. There's a sampling law that states no matter how large the base set, a random sampling of Some Magic Number (like 150 or 200 or so) will get you 98% of the way there and further granularity of sampling doesn't move the number. It's applied to voting and elections, b...

My version of that uses the whole track for the Profile, but selects only for sound that does not change. That's a lot more computationally severe, but probably a lot more accurate. The Disney Cartoon example is a flip-book-based Plot Spectrum. As you watch it, the spectral outlines bounce, pulse an...

Both of the microphones you pointed us to are native USB and do not need the Icicle.
