Audacity Forum

I just used Soundflower to record a small portion of a TED talk on a Mavericks machine. You have a conflict there somewhere. I should find if you're getting blue waves and bouncing red sound meters. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record.jpg If you are, you are getting a recording whether y...

And you're going to find, as I did, that nobody's making a good, XLR-type lavalier (tie-tack) microphone. They all make the natural assumption: "Of course you're going to want to plug it into a hip-pack for one of our expensive radio microphone systems." Let's say I don't. The other improb...

Just think. You can walk into an interview with nothing but a clean shirt, a cup of Starbucks and your cell...

You can make a stand-alone sound file in two steps. Step one is the capture step where your red recording sound meters bounce and the blue waves build themselves on the timeline.
