Audacity Forum

Windows has the ability to manage microphone volume on a USB microphone. I think you need to mess about in the Windows Control Panels. That's the only place I can think which would change the volume. Generally, once you make a digital bitstream, the show is set. It's the analog microphones that have...

Working the maths backwards gives you the duration in the illustration.

Change the default Audacity sample rate from 44100 to 96000. Generate > Sine Wave: 8999Hz > OK. Cut the sine wave on the timeline down to eight cycles (illustration). That tone should last very close to your timing specification. Export that as a WAV (Microsoft) and you should be able to use it any ...

I'm assuming your Mac has a superdrive, a CD Burner, or an external drive or burner. My MacBook Pro has an internal SuperDrive and I bought an external SuperDrive for my Mini, which came with no drives at all. Koz

Most Audio CD Authoring Programs allow you to dump a hamper full of WAV files into them (maximum 99), arrange them as you wish (maximum total length 78 minutes), set the silent gap between them (default 2 seconds) and burn your brains out. So I would open each Project and Export it as a WAV (Microso...

The way I understood the illustration, the dashes are silent stretches and should not contribute to the show. When exported to a single sound file, the Project should produce three short performances one right after the other. We assume they were recorded at roughly the same volume. I do have a ques...

I promise I'm a real person We administer postings before the public sees them. The ones trying to sell us male-enhancement and kitchen cabinets are easy, but sometimes someone will post a valid question that appears like it might be a hidden commercial. That's what happened to you. My manhood and ...

Number four. The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show) -- 1. Echoes and room reverberation (Don't record the show in your mum's kitchen.) -- 2. Overload and Clipping (Sound that's recorded too loud is permanently trashed.) -- 3. Compression Damage (Never do ...

My cellphone charging station is right next to parts of my sound system and I can hear the phone negotiating a connection. No direct audio connection required. Yes, I think the best you can do is draw an interference map of your apartment by walking around with a portable receiver that buzzes. Don't...

There is another equally awkward fix. When you make a mistake, stop recording immediately and delete the fluff. Then use Append Record (Shift-R), to start recording again. This only works at the end of a performance. There's a variation on that in Audacity 2.0.5 where you find a fluff in playback an...
