Is your microphone directional? Most microphones are and that can have a big effect on your measurements.

You might be far better by taking careful measurements and use Analyze > Contrast to get the RMS or overall loudness measurement rather than trying to over-analyze it down to cylinder pulses. And even then, there are meters who do that for a living rather than forcing your computer to do it. https:/...

Change Pitch and Change Tempo are the two effects most likely to damage the sound. Change Speed has much less distortion. It changes everything at once and doesn't try to rip the sound apart and put it back together. interior recording Interiors are designed to isolate you from the engine. Some of ...

This would mean 5000 rpm is much higher rpm than 10000 rpm. Or your measurement is bogus. How many cylinders? If each one makes a detonation noise, you have to multiply the RPM times that number. The one pulse per revolution per cylinder only holds true if there's no muffler. The muffler's job is t...

The connections can have collisions, negotiations, traffic-copping, and resends. One more. Bad connections don't have to happen at the telephone pole outside your house. They can have bad connections at the other end, too. Every so often the Audacity forum (covering multiple continents) will fall a...

This could be different where you are.

or a boatload of files got dropped. That's my guess. Audacity might do that if the connection was ratty and just stopped dead for periods of time. Audacity might not ring bells or sound alarms. It might just sit and wait for the connection to come back. Internet connections aren't a continuous fire...

This is a larger Alesis (the instruction book is for several units), but looking at group 2, do you really have two connections there instead of eight?

Do you have an answer to that up the thread?

It's not a problem of getting the information into the machine, it's getting Audacity to "know" what it is once it gets there. That's what the driver software does. Since everybody knows what stereo is, the default on a lot of multi-channel interfaces is to present in groups of two. Channe...

The default tool is the "I-Bar."
