Re: Connecting Audacity to and recording from a mixer on Windows

In theory, would this set up also enable you to use an IP-phone (or other phone) with a headset attachment instead of a Skype call? Perhaps not, if the headset attachment expects mic-level input rather than the line-level input the mixer provides. You can use any communications service on the right...

Re: Connecting Audacity to and recording from a mixer on Windows

because that's what you're doing with the left-hand machine. The left-hand machine doesn't have to be a full-on computer. It just has to be a recorder. Since I had two serviceable computers, the additional music playback on the left-hand machine was a natural. Machines have two natural pathways. Re...

Re: Connecting Audacity to and recording from a mixer on Windows

There is a software package called Voicemeeter which claims to be able to bust up your machine into different sound channels and manage each of them. But remember each stream is still going to insist on its own sound processing and you can't stop them. https://www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm ...

Re: Connecting Audacity to and recording from a mixer on Windows

I super doubt you can manage multiple streams and record them all. Each stream has to do voice management and echo cancellation and it usually does it by taking over the machine . If you launch two of them, you may have a little explosion on your hands. Probably not good sound. If you do get one to ...

Re: Connecting Audacity to and recording from a mixer on Windows

I don't think you can arbitrarily wave around sound streams like that. I did something similar with two computers. I really should set that up again and clean it up. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PodCast_Studio_WS-600.jpg The machine on the right is running Skype. All is well because it th...

Re: Audacity, please fix

I don't think anyone works for audacity that doesn't know how the tool works. Change Speed affects both the length of the show and the pitch of the music. Is that what you want? Change Speed is normally used on a whole performance where there was a sampling rate error or other damage affecting the ...

Re: Audacity, please fix

Picture tells everything.
However, for those of us not perfectly familiar with the tool, what exactly, in words, did you find wrong?

Re: What would you do to punch up the audio in this track?

Effect > Loudness Normalization
That was on my list to try. Actually, there appears to be a missing tool. Fletcher-Munson loudness compensation. I wonder how that got left out.

Re: What would you do to punch up the audio in this track?

I can cheat a bit, too. I have a bass doubler in the listening system, so I can sorta simulate putting the bass tones back. I have one of these for my music keyboard, too. It does wonders with the organ stops.

Re: What would you do to punch up the audio in this track?

Got it. 7000Hz. Really, Really Good AM radio.

There's not a lot of bass there, either. Any attempt to boost the bass gives honky cardboard box sounds.

Try Effect > Bass and Treble at these settings.

That's not completely awful.
