Re: Call recording (Teams, softphone calls)

You can hear them, OK, right? You just can't record them. As you noticed, it's usually not a big deal to record your own voice, it's the far side that's the problem. A first-pass, simple solution is to have everybody record their own voice and ship the sound files to you for editing into a final sho...

Re: Is clipping bad?

I did hear about dual recording systems. Fascinating idea, and field engineers will love it, but that gives you a production recording with a clean show in there somewhere. It's your job, through hours of editing to coax it out. That might be useful for an occasional accident, but not a regular prod...

Re: Is clipping bad?

It can also depend on where. "Fuzz Guitar" can be achieved by overloading the guitar amplifier and in the case of older tube guitar amps has a distinctive sound because of the way vacuum tubes work. The amp is now a part of the instrument. You can't get that sound with the guitar by itself...

Re: Sound activated recording problems

I have 6 of them active...multiple Discord bots and instances If you're happy with the way Virtual Audio Cable is working, then Audacity may not be a good match for you. As Steve above, Audacity has had documented trouble working with VAC and you have multiple channels and directions working at onc...

Re: Increase volume

There is a digital limit on how loud things can get. Are you trying to match something?

Re: ZoomAudioDevice and Audacity

Found it. Here's one with a Shure rock band microphone.

I drilled a hole part-way through the board so the microphone will sit a little lower and not roll around. This was a job where I had to record a room and couldn't hang anything.

Re: Adjust audio recorded with two out-of-sync microphones, possible?

both mic audio are on the same track
You're stuck. Audacity can't split a mixed recording into individual voices, instruments, or sounds.

Re: ZoomAudioDevice and Audacity

A poor man's boundary microphone! Exactly correct. As long as the desk isn't moving or shaking and in this case, the laptop doesn't decide to take off and starting loudly cooling itself, it will record the room without too much trouble. Depending on the form-factor of the microphone, you might get ...

Re: ZoomAudioDevice and Audacity

No Academy Awards here, but the basic recording worked. This technique arrived in a book on sound recording decades old.
