You can set the top number to a negative number, say -2 and Audacity will reduce the sound sample volume by 2dB. Try different numbers and see how it sounds. You can always Edit > Undo to go back to the original work. Never edit original work. Always make a copy, and remember Audacity projects do no...

Probably not. Echoes are rough to remove because it's usually the performer's own voice coming back to the microphone multiple times. So you are in effect asking the software to remove the performer from himself. There isn't enough in the sample to tell what's happening. Are you after removing the s...

Whatever you use for a music player or manager has to be able to read and understand the metadata within the music file to do that. That's what you created with that database. If you're picking the song from a bunch of files on a thumb drive, then only the computer filename will be visible. I think ...

These aren't clicks and click removal isn't going to do any good. The click that you get when a phonograph needle runs over a cat hair is a single sharp tick that has a blue waveform signature easily recognized by humans or software. That's not what you have. You have a produced sound effect like so...

Probably not for a really odd reason. Even if you did set up Playthrough and the other settings for live performance, the Computer (not Recording) latency would kill you. Computer latency is the time it takes the computer to think about your live voice and then feed it back out to you. That delay ca...

I'd produce each song one at a time. If you try to stuff too much into the computer, you could run the risk of recording latency wandering, stuttering, or other damage and that would be a nightmare to fix. I would try selecting a whole track by clicking just above the MUTE button and then shift-sele...

Recording latency? You play or sing in perfect time to the reference track but the recording plays back later out of time? If the vocals are coming in a bit late and I'm using the default buffer and correction settings, which should I change and to what number value? The default settings are only a ...

I think you're flying further and further away from the airport. When you used CDex to rip the CD, did it give you a pile of individual sound files? I used to use CDex, but it's been a while. I don't believe CDex retains the 2 second gap between songs, although I could be wrong. Are you seeing a 2 s...

Which Audacity? On Windows I think it's Help > About.

I connect a Mackie console to the computer. How? Exactly. RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter like this? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/RCAMiniStereo.jpg Did you plug it into the Mic-In of your laptop? Are you seeing stereo while Audacity is recording like this: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audac...
