I tried to record my lecture So it's not your lecture. It's the lecture you attended. Is that the raw recording -- the recording from the lecture, or is it the lecture after you applied Noise Reduction? What were you using to record the lecture? It sounds like you could be using a recorder that's t...

You didn't say so, but you are now recording your guitar direct from a cable rather than a microphone. Most guitar sounds are half-and-half guitar and speaker cabinet. The guitar by itself tends to sound flat and cheap. You're also missing the cabinet special effects if you use any of those. So yes,...

That's a snap to fix with several Audacity tools. I suspect what you really have is at least one track with both voice and music mixed in it. There...

That makes the hardware/analog desperation method a bit easier, but that's no guaran...

We did have a posting from someone where the unit didn't work out well. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=75206 But we think it was his system or his computer. There's no reason it shouldn't work. It's a pretty simple but complete interface. There's a problem with asking us for ...

Are you connected through a USB hub? Audio doesn't much like doing that. The non-audio connections interrupt the sound and it appears pretty much like what you have. Audio equipment needs to be computer home runs.
