The grownups in the movie industry go to extraordinary effort and expense to make sure that when they shoot sound separate from the picture, the quality of the timers in the camera and the sound recorders will sync within 1/24 of a second I think I once calculated for several days if needed, with no...

I'm having fun with the test names, but the "checkboard test" is a real thing and there really are names like that. Fill every other memory location and see what leaks. Change each data point rapidly and see which one doesn't stick. etc. I always got the one straight from Microsoft. They m...

Once the signal becomes digital it's fixed unless you do something messy to it in post production. Audacity records what the computer gives it and the computer gives it whatever the analog to ...

My aim is this: to be able to use all these cool plug-ins or vst to get a guitar sound I enjoy and be able to play "live" without having to record a clean track and then add the distortion and other effects. Audacity is a post-production program and doesn't do anything live. It's a Featur...

On Macs, the desktop menu bar becomes the menu bar for the program in front. Illustration. Each program does not have its own bar like in Windows.
