Audacity Forum

What am I doing wrong? Trying to listen to the live vocal through the computer. There are two delays associated with overdubbing. Laying down a new track in sync with the old one is a slider adjustment. That's called Recording Latency. There is also Machine Latency. That's the one that causes your ...

it vanished into a much more complex system. The way I understand it, the new system makes Automatic Recovery much more likely. When you restart Audacity after a disaster, it will offer to put your show back together for you and it succeeds much more now than it used to. However, being binary, it a...

We've been talking about your system and we're half-way to "Not Supported." You could have bought your machine in 1989 and the OS dates back to 2004. Goodness knows if the Mic-In socket is still working right and we have no way to test anything with an actual machine. You seem to have unex...

You have fragments of a much larger recording system. That illustration shows one corner of a sound mixer (Peavey PV-6), the Behringer UCA202 and a PC. Any computer will work, doesn't have to be a PC, and any mixer should plug into the Behringer. However, that may be overkill and way too complicated...

There are more Zoom commands than those three. Those are only the three I use all the time. See: View > Zoom.

My question is when when you push "create audio CD" and burn a CD it decompresses the file back from MP3 to CD red book standards automatically ? If you did it in iTunes, yes. Whatever you dragged to a playlist and then burned the playlist to disk will be converted to a fully compatible A...

There is another way to do this that is a lot faster, but not quite as accurate. Drag-select a tiny bit of the mix-down in the middle of the show and magnify it Command-E. Do that several times until you can see the individual ups and downs of the blue waves. It's very highly unlikely the the waves ...

Call strumming the guitar the "performance" to keep it straight from Playback in Audacity. OS-X 10.4 is Tiger, right? Does the iMac switch between Mic-In and Line-In in System Preferences? Is it automatic? It's possible capturing with Mic-In will give you a mono track (which plays to both ...

It all sounds incredibly convoluted in how audio is routed through a computer. Ding, ding, ding! We have a winah! I know how this works and I get lost. Here's to hoping Windows revamps their audio interface sometime in the future. Actually they did relatively recently. There are fourteen people who...

Close Audacity. Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input. This panel should have a bouncing blue-ball sound meter. If you select the USB Audio Codec and play a record, the blue balls should flash. If they don't, then the sound is not getting to your Mac. Audacity gets the s...
