Re: Massive Lag

Are you in 16-bit? I forgot to ask and you didn't say. If you're doing production in 96000/24-bit, this is an enormous show and you may run out of computer resources relatively quickly. Koz

Re: Massive Lag

Which Windows? The size of the show isn't as important as you think. Every time you do something; apply a filter or an effect, Audacity has to save UNDO. If you apply something globally to all ten tracks, you just doubled the size of your show on disk. Also, Audacity works at 32-bit floating interna...

Re: I'm frustrated with this bug

On the bottom of the Audacity work window, see if "Snap To" is selected. De-select it.

Re: Recording a multiple guest Podcast

If you suspend the microphone, pad the room but leave the table bare. You're going to need the increased volume of the voice reflecting from the table and just put up with the slight comb filter affect. This also has the advantage of picking up the sound of the board play. The Snowball microphone sh...

Re: Recording a multiple guest Podcast

I see what happened. The straight Snowball had pattern selectors, the iCE is fixed pattern. Try this. Suspend one Snowball over the table at the center of the game board. In this application, you need to keep everyone close together and give up on the idea of four different sound tracks. If you have...

Re: Recording a multiple guest Podcast

I don't think you're going to get there. Those are the wrong microphones for this application. Plan "B" isn't going to work, either -- soundproof the room and use one microphone in the center of the padded table. That's where the board for the game needs to be. I think your only hope is la...

Re: USB or RCA?

I don't think the analog RCA pathway is better than the USB. I think the USB digital converter inside the cassette machine is probably better than the default digital converter inside the hot, electrically noisy computer. Do you remember the posting where someone told you the RCAs were better?

Re: I just lost another song i made please help

than a completely new song I create will mess up too? We're saying you're not starting a completely new song. You have damage left over from the song that failed. Start Audacity fresh. AUP is the Audacity project manager. That's the file that tells Audacity what to do with all the stuff in the _DAT...

Re: need help setting up guitar and uca202 to my laptop for.

Plug your headphones into the UCA-202 and switch to Monitor. The live performance delay should be gone. This is how you have to monitor your overdubbing performance. The headphone jack in your computer should get dusty from non-use. You can't have speakers in the same room with a microphone during o...

Re: how to record a phone interview in 2 tracks?

You just talked yourself into waiting for one of the other elves. Good luck, although I'm pretty sure you can't split Left and Right to originate from two different devices.
