some of that black foam padding Packing foam doesn't work that well. It's job is to take up space and not weigh anything. Soundproofing's job is to be heavy. To get in the way of the sound. Sound has to push its way through. Anything you do does something , but the best stuff is heavy. Do you have ...

Oh, right. Files. Audacity will not save a sound file. It will save Projects which are combinations of files and folders that allow you to save timelines and edit configurations (but not UNDO). They're perfect quality but they can be brittle and they only open in Audacity. Audacity will Export stand...

Is there anything I can do in Audacity to get A or C closer to B? No. But there's quite a bit you can do to the room. You have echoes from the walls and floor. A and C have that "recording in the bathroom or kitchen" sound. That and noise are the curse of first-time home recordists. You h...

You're building a terrific case for broken headphones, or having analog headphones not plugged all the way in. That stereo sound test is in four parts: Left-Only, Right-Only, Mono (both), and intentionally damaged stereo. They are identified in the performance. Which parts were missing and/or which ...
