Audacity Forum

Audacity only checks for things to connect to when it starts. There's way to force it later, but restarting is simple. Close Audacity. Go into Windows Control Panels > Audio and see if your music player is listed there. If not, then there may be a problem with the player. Windows is pretty good abou...

It's derived from a video format Yes, and we've seen MP3s that insist on frame boundaries because of its heritage. It's derived from a video format and you can have an audio/video file that contains audio in MP3 format Right. You get an .mpg file with an MP3 inside. I've never seen an audio/video &...

You can pull the display sideways and get much more detailed information.

It may capture more than that. You are experiencing the sound waves after the wall has had a chance to move the air in your house. Putting the microphone on the wall should record not only that sound, but also the overtones that normally wouldn't transmit to the air. I still bet you find compressor ...

Hiss type noise is usually a complaint of people performing too far away from the ideal zone of a live microphone and the microphone's own natural noises overwhelm the performance. You shouldn't get that kind of noise with a turntable. You can't have the needle too far away from the record. It's eit...

I'm a little fuzzy here, but I think there are other echo/reverb tools we sometimes recommend. GVerb as one wag put it, is a good tool to make a reverb tool. Not a show.

I was simply recording a single note held for a few seconds. Exactly correct. And here's what the software is thinking: "It's been there for too long and steady to be a human speaking voice. It must be the dreaded AIR CONDITIONING NOISE. GET RID OF IT, QUICK!!!" You need to find those noi...
