What is the pop? Somebody open a can of cream soda in the middle of the performance? Gas main go up? Unless you can "borrow" notes from another part of the performance (same phrase from somewhere else) you should start scheduling a reshoot. And while you're reshooting, try and find the oth...

Standard Wireless Mic Standard as in "Standard Oil," or Standard as in Plain and Ordinary? How are the hard drives connected? Audacity doesn't like Network Connected Drives very much. Keep unplugging things and reducing the complexity of the machine until you can affect the problem. Not n...

Mine says "Built-In-Output" and I have a sound system plugged into the headphone connection on my Mini.

Are you trying to run Skype and do production at the same time? Games?

How are you listening? I mean exactly how. Earbuds plugged into your Mac Air? Don't leave out any information or part numbers. There were gap and static problems with some MBPs and Mavericks. But nothing like one second and then dead silence. What does your Audacity toolbar say for playback device? ...

You are the next vote to stop calling it Noise Removal and start calling Noise Reduction. Noise Removal tries to carefully build sharp filters to remove the offending sound without affecting the show. The best you can do is mostly reduce most of the noise without damaging too much of the show. Try r...

Is the work required to be in Stereo? If not, you can save half the filesize right there by converting to mono. If it's a spoken word show, nobody will miss it. Nobody wants to whip their head back and forth as people speak. I wonder about making a ZIP and having the file shrink that much.... If tha...

It may still be possible. They do say this:

Not only does this 16-track recorder give you eight XLR/line inputs, so you can plug in your own gear and get to recording...

That's all they say and it's not mentioned anywhere else in the specifications.

Sooooo. close. For the purposes of gross decisions like this, you can consider your guitar pickup and the amp headphone output as Line-Level Devices. Yes, the pickup is slightly lower than standard, but anybody who has ever tried to plug a pickup into a microphone connection will tell you what a bad...

47K with 100pF shunt capacitance. Without the capacitor, many cartridges have a noticeable peak at high frequencies. A cartridge is a resonant circuit and it has to be matched to the preamp for proper operation. It's a given that left and right need to match, and no, it's not "legal" to ex...
