Audacity Forum

Fill in all the maker and model numbers. "I'm using a XXX microphone, an ZZZ mixer, a laptop with YYY operating system, etc."

Specifics are good. We know nothing about your system or microphone and you posted in a generic portion of the forum.

"I'm using an XYZ USB microphone model 2 connected to an HP Tercera laptop computer using Windows Vista operating system. I'm using Audacity version 2.0.2"

Audacity doesn't speak MIDI at all and apparently, Focusrite uses ASIO software to do all of its multi-channel tricks. Audacity doesn't natively speak ASIO, either.

Nowhere did we say you couldn't do it.

Did you find a good cut point between the cameras? Somewhere that had the same phrases on both cameras and everybody takes a breath at once?

Even if you leave bits out by accident, if you include model and part numbers, sometimes we can piece it all together. Pretend it all arrived jumbled in a FedEx box cold and we have to put it all together based on your instructions.

Yes. You correct the show. Audacity doesn't do any processing in real time and whatever Windows supplies is what gets recorded. If you're recording What's On The Computer, you might check the Windows Control Panels and make sure the balance controls (if you have them) are in the middle. If you're tr...
