One more. Never blow into a microphone, but it should be possible to sing or play loudly as a test and make the blue waves go to 100% and the bouncing sound meter to max out and turn red. That's not good for an actual performance and you would never do that for a show, but your system should be able...

As a fuzzy generality, this represents a good recording goal. StandardRecordingLevels-650w.jpg Occasional blue wave tips up to about 50% and occasional sound meter that just starts to turn yellow. This illustration is somebody's actual voice and their voice happens to be non-symmetrical toward up. T...

Screen Shot 2020-09-02 at 11.49.01 AM.png You are the poster child for position 2 on the Snowball. The -10dB setting intentionally reduces the capture sensitivity so you don't overload anything with a musical instrument that naturally has loud presentation. But that still doesn't explain an inabili...

There is no Solo 2i2. You either have a Solo or a 2i2. In either case, plug your headphones into the Scarlett, turn Direct Monitor on and set volume with the big Monitor knob. You can do overdubbing that way, too. Play duet with yourself. Turn Audacity Playthrough off to get rid of the echo. If you ...

As above (depending on your text editor), a normal AUP file looks something like this. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/aupFileGraphic-redbox.jpg Note the name of your project is burned into the code which is why you can't change the names of the files after you save the project. The little 6...

The background noise is a fairly constant nature sound.

Are you planning on publishing as an Audiobook? Is this your reading or someone else?

Clipping at -6dB is a "magic" problem. You can get that if you're using a stereo interface, but recording it in mono (one blue wave). The system drops the volume by exactly half (6dB) to "make room." If that's it, you can make the effect go away by recording in stereo (two blue w...

any reference I find seems overly complicated for this use. A non-developer will think so, but programming also has to deal with trash collection and error trapping. What happens if the program goes for label text and there isn't one? What happens if there's a temporary interruption in the show str...

I'm having trouble finding a UCA-22. The search keeps pointing me back to the UCA-222 which is the red color version of the popular USB digital converter. The units in this series are plain UCA-202, the red UCA-222, and the UFO-202 which has a phono amplifier built-in. These units can be made to wor...

which is weird because it's just another instrument No it's not. MIDI is machine control. You use a MIDI connection to play something else . Then you can use Audacity to record the music made by something els e. There was a recent poster who wanted to record his MIDI sequence controller. My MIDI mu...
