Nobody is shocked that the USB sound is much better than the RCAs, particularly if you have a laptop and only a Mic-In connection. Those aren't usually stereo. So you're saying that you push the fader all the way to your unused deck to start it and the show can "hear" you cue it up? We ass...

Optional Click Track Duration[_____]

About half-way down the generate panel settings.

This may only be available in Audacity 2.0.3.

All the options grayed out usually means you pressed Pause instead of Stop. Splitting an MP3 up into smaller files is usually better done in an MP3 editor like mp3splt, not Audacity. Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts the music to an internal format and then makes a new MP3 when you're done -- p...

I know it's a standing joke, but if you start getting serious system errors, you should restart the machine from power off. Make it start over. If you continue to get these errors, inspect the drivers and soundcard software.

Audacity has to achieve two different connections to Windows Services when you do overdubbing. It has to record from your "Microphone" and it has to play your existing tracks to your speakers/headphones. If either of those is fuzzy or messed up, Audacity will throw the Unable to connect......

If you're on headphones and not speakers, you can make Audacity fold back the recorded sound for you to listen. Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Software Playthrough (select). When Audacity does it through the Mac services like this, it will probably be late (echoey) and not be useful. The o...

My studio is a small room in a quiet, secluded area adequately soundproofed. Should I apply those settings before or after I do the noise removal...or does it matter? Thanks, mate! If your studio sounds OK, what are you applying Noise Removal for? Noise Removal can create other problems and you pro...

Use a few more words. If the FFMpeg library was missing you would never have gotten the sound file into the machine. Are you saying you installed the FFMpeg libraries and then your new sound file started playing?

Does your original sound file work? Does it still make a karaoke song OK?

We warn people that the instant you start messing with compressors and volume enhancements, the background noise is going to come up. If you were just skating past acceptability because of "TV Next Door" noises, they will be a lot louder after processing. I wonder if this isn't their way t...
