Audacity Forum

Are you overdubbing? You record the violin part and then go back and record the trumpet part and then go back and record the piano part, etc? The question seems to tell us you're trying to record three and four different audio tracks at the same time. When you tell us the Audacity version, use all t...

No. But if the second event is at all predictable, you can put it on a second track under the first one. Audacity will play them both and you can slide them around earlier and later with the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows).

... when you need to record two split mono tracks simultaneously. I agree, I do it with a small sound mixer. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PV6 The problem is the natural assumption that you can plug two different microphones or pickups directly into a computer and I don't think that's ever...

Note if you want to use "condenser microphones": Most condenser microphones require "phantom power". If you use microphones of this type, check that the microphone pre-amp can provide phantom power or the microphones will not work. Note on the note. We discovered one tiny Behrin...

With my desktop that runs xp I could use a 3.5mm mini jack and connect one end to my ipad and the other to my computer and play audio through my computer speakers. You left out some words. "... and the other to my computer Stereo Line-In ..." Computers as a rule don't have those any more....

There are two other considerations: Building a complex analog device isn't easy and each part has a tolerance. I built a big, take-no-prisoners microphone preamplifier and I hand-selected some of the parts because about half of the ones I got from the supplier may have been in tolerance, but either ...

I swear the one I was using didn't have problems like that and the real owner never mentioned it. Yes, testing is in order. Start a recording and run the microphone MIC control from one end to the other. See what happens to the hiss level. Also, make sure the control is working. Announce: "This...

Since the laptop has a sub-woofer, the default soundcard settings are designed to accommodate it. Since that's the pathway that Stereo-Mix has to take and Stereo-Mix has no provision for a bass channel that's where the bass went. I've never met a laptop system like that, so you're on your own to fig...

The laptop is advertised to have a "sub-woofer." It's just a tiny speaker on the bottom, maybe that is it. Bingo. Too Much Technology. To get Stereo Mix to work the computer generally sends the sound out to the soundcard which in your case thoughtfully trips off the bass. Then the sound c...

Normally, yes. You need analog microphones and a mixer, however, there is one product that might be able to help.
