I turned the speakers around, so it's not that.

Never run speakers during a live recording. Truly magic and evil things can happen if you do that. Headphones only.

What are the two microphones? Exactly. Model numbers.

Start over. Close Audacity. Plug in the turntable. Let the Mac chew on it for a minute. Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input. Do you see USB Thing-a-ma-bob listed anywhere in that list? It may not say turntable. It will say Something Else -- but it should have "usb...

I think that may be an English-O. The 1/4" is between the mixer and the USB. At least I hope so. He didn't mention a mic cable adapter and the bottom of the mix is XLR. I don't think the mic will run at all with an imbalance in the phantom power like that. I'm going with the settings on the mix...

I can't find anything that should be a problem. If you have your Phantom Power switched off, the microphone wouldn't do anything. The specifications of the mixer appear to be very good. It Is Required that you have a straight XLR microphone cable between the microphone and the mixer. No adapters and...

Just a note. This microphone receives sound only from the front, not the top and not the back. If you're using it speaking into the wrong surface, your voice will be very low compared to the proper way. Make a recording and walk around the microphone and try talking into the round top. Only one dire...

The USB device by itself is probably about right. -52dB noise is not great, but it's perfectly workable. The rest of your sound chain has problems. Tascam USB Audio Interface via a 1/4 inch cable. That may be a problem. You have it plugged into the Guitar-In? Try this. Try jumping RCA cables from th...

The problem is not to create the ring tone. Anybody with basic editing skills can do that, the problem is to overcome the phone's natural insistence on selling you one. The import tools are either very well hidden or missing. Also, the Audacity export format is determined completely by the phone req...

You're usually safe with the assumption that you're not going to rescue a noisy recording. Noise Reduction does not equal "make my show better." Noise Reduction comes in two flavors: reduce everything and put up with voices that sound honky and in a barrel, and save the voices but they sta...

Horrible, horrible static/white noise in the background. Post some so we can hear it. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936 I would post a segment with voice and another with your Audio Interface connected to the USB by itself. Which Tascam? Model Numbers? There are several o...

Did you try going into Windows Control Panels and see if it will adjust there? Koz
