Audacity Forum

Is this perfect timing or what? There is no good, simple answer, so we are embarking on a research and fact gathering campaign. We don't want scared chickens every time somebody asks this. How is the interview person arriving? Be specific. "By Phone" tells us nearly nothing. Copper land-li...

I use Audacity to digitze vinyl. I found that the show is mono. Unless you're digitizing 78s you have a damaged capture system right out of the gate. It's not good to ignore symptoms even if they appear to have nothing to do with the complaint. Did the buffer setting make any difference? Gale asked...

It's always dangerous to start with the waveform and work backwards without hearing the performance. Those peaks may be the attack of the pick on the string and removing them will take all the spark and character out of the show. Post some of the show. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=4...

If you magnify the noise on the timeline, you find a great many sharp, vertical transitions between segments of music (three in this pix). It's very unlikely to get that kind of damage in analog land. It has to be during or after the signal becomes digital. It's very difficult to believe that adding...

You're welcome. I'm going on your description of existing recordings as sounding very good. Most Windows machines can't do that very well. I'm on a classic Mac laptop and I do have a very high quality stereo connection for recording. Koz

Plug everything together and turn everything on. Then start Audacity -- in that exact order. Look for the microphone symbol drop-down on the main edit window and see if you can find the USB device. It may say anything; it doesn't have to say Citronic. Select and make sure the volume controls are all...

See: Seth Macfarlane. Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. "...he also voices many of the shows' various characters" (Wikipedia).

And he does it by acting them. He doesn't speak the voices flat and filter each character differently.

Write back if you get something to work. Koz
