Re: Sample rate downsampling/upsampling explanation.

I used that word 3 times in one sentence. "I tell you three times." — Robert Heinlein My hat says Forum Elf, not developer or programmer. We can divine how it works from testing and reactions. To get the real reading, we'll have to distract one of The Developers. You know what happened la...

Re: How do you improve sound quality in Audacity?

but quality cannot be added.
I don't know that I completely agree. Bette Midler's live voice will strip paint, but her CDs are perfectly listenable. So somewhere after the live capture, desirable quality was added.

Remember, she's a cult performer, not an operatic diva

Re: Buzzing sound and voice sounds like a robot, help?

Which Audacity, all three numbers. Which computer, in detail. Did it start doing that when you plugged the guitar in? Or your microphone started doing that and the guitar kept doing it?

Re: No bass from subwoofer

AUP isn't a sound file. It's a text file that tells Audacity what to do with all that stuff inside the _DATA folder which is where the real music is.

Export a good quality MP3 and post that. We can't post very much on the forum.

Re: Do You Hear A Difference In Any Of These Tracks /iPod to

We recently had a posting from someone who used internet posted music to do a broadcast radio show. As in your posting, he was fine until the step where the station forced him to make an MP3 for delivery to them. Boom. Bubbly, tinkling and honky compression damaged music caused by multiple compressi...

Re: Do You Hear A Difference In Any Of These Tracks /iPod to

1) So right away you're violating one of the production rules: Never edit in MP3, or by extension any of the other compressed formats. If you don't run into trouble right away, it's only a matter of time before something nasty happens. Sound compressor's talent is not that they don't damage the soun...

Re: Need Help with Retrieving Audio Files in Audacity

First, I'm guessing no. When media storage goes unstable, it can create some serious chaos, worse if there's more than one show on the device. because of my zoom recorder being unplugged during a shoot. Let's investigate that a little bit. Do a data dump. Which Zoom? How big was the card? What, exac...

Re: No bass from subwoofer

This is a piece from the Sony sheet. S-Force® technology delivers simulated surround sound So you're using this as a "speaker system" when Sony designed a Surround Processor Product. Then you connected it to your TV which I'd be willing to bet has its own processor. The last time I install...

Re: not recording anything

If you tell the computer to pay attention to the USB for both playback and record, the computer headphone connection may very well drop dead. That sound is playing back out to the mixer (where you told it to go).

Re: Sample rate downsampling/upsampling explanation.

CD Quality is 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. Basic television sound is 48000, 16-bit, Stereo. They're cousins of each other. Digital TV came later, so they had a little more room to work with. The first number, sampling rate is basically the number of times a second that the system looks at the analog wave ...
