Audacity Forum

If you really are using the older Speaker Loopback, then the sound is going all the way through the soundcard, through the digital to analog converters, through analog routing and switching, to Analog to Digital converters and to you for recording. This is the older "legacy" way to record ...

The Behringer UM2 will accept a guitar and/or microphone and it does support overdubbing.



That's the little black thing on the left with all the pieces I need to sing harmony to myself.

I can't tell from the instructions. It seems the FX/thru switch will select one of the two modes you need to run at the same time. Here. You can try these.

Audacity traditionally didn't get along well with plugins that had complex graphic interfaces. That's the first thing that came to mind when you said you got a gray box instead of controls and settings you were expecting.

I'm surprised nobody addressed the "sloppy MP3" problem. MP3 files do not have firm, fixed, reliable stop and start times. They wander making it a nightmare to do accurate production with them. Didn't you run into that when you did them manually? Where you put the sound and where it ended ...

You are listening to the Audiobox 96 during the production, right? The Audiobox is producing the performance mix and you have to listen with analog headphones.

you would slowly add more and more to.

That's one of the problems. We can do two pages before lunch.

i decided to shut all the parts with foil. The first thing the sound hits should be sound deadening material or rock wool, not hard foil. You can go with it as it is, but I bet the vocal quality "opens up" if you strip out the foil. This should be a snap if everything has zippers. At mini...
