We're not a multi-media product, we don't do video at all and we won't burn a CD or DVD. Oh, and no MIDI, so there may be room for other software products.

turtlebeach x12 The headset, right? It it USB, or analog like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCHeadset.jpg The high-pitched frying, mosquito whine, right? We do know what that is. It's the computer electrical housekeeping getting into the show. If you could hear your computer running ...

I THINK I can follow your instructions. I did that at a dead run. Signal when you get stuck. File > Import > point to your first sound file > OK. Repeat. I think you can do it Right-Click on the file > Open-With > Audacity and that works, too. Once you have an MP3, whatever damage it's going to con...

Some techniques for Self Recording go through the final soundcard amplifier before the speakers. In English it means you may need to turn your speakers up for it to work. I don't mean the sound control knob on the big wooden speakers on your bookshelf, I mean the "speaker" slider in your s...

I've never seen a listing in any ad that explicitly says the device mixes computer playback with live performance. There are several that suggest that. Regard the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. ht...

It's not the power that's the problem. It's simple economics. It's the difference between selling several hundred computers to the General Electric company in Schenectady, NY for the purpose of field sales communications and conferencing versus selling one laptop to somebody in Burlington, Vermont f...

There is a test signal called "pink noise." I call it "Rain in the Trees." This test signal has all audio tones in it. That's its job. If you try to reduce rain in the trees, microphone hiss or tape hiss from a show, Noise Reduction will try to remove the whole show. Noise Reduct...
