Unless you are a very young woman, you are not going to hear any errors up in this realm -- and sometimes even then. What you gain by running up that far is post production purity not absolute sound quality, and you've already kissed that off by downconverting. What you'll get by upconverting is the...

Digital Audio Tape was not God's gift to the sound world. I don't know if you've ever looked inside a DAT machine, but it's a really, really tiny VHS recorder with all the arms, levers, pulleys and rotating, flying magnetic heads. They have a Reputation. Go out on a shoot with a DAT machine and a ba...

If the work is in WAV, MP3 or other stand-alone file form, you should do it in Windows Media or the free iTunes download. You can easily create long playlists to your mood and set them running by themselves. If the work is in Project form, you have to do it in Audacity. Open each Project, select all...

It may not have been worded strongly enough in the text, but some computers can't do this. You follow all the instructions and the software just isn't there. For you there's the software and processes at the bottom of this series of instructions. If you're on a laptop, chances are good that the loop...

I'd be first out of the gate with Chris's Compressor. http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/chriss-dynamic-compressor-plugin-for-audacity/ Crank up the first number, compression to 0.77 or so for use. Chris is a look-ahead dynamic compressor and it makes remarkably good assumptions of where the various vo...

In all cases, Windows has to know about your turntable before Audacity starts. Put Audacity away and restart the computer with the turntable plugged in. Start > Control Panels > Sound > Recording and see if there is a setting for USB Sound Device or some words like that. Make sure it's selected. Go ...

What does Windows think in Start > Control Panels > Audio > Recording? Audacity can't do anything that Windows doesn't know about. Koz

I'm more than even sure I know what the problem is in a fuzzy, 10,000 foot view sense, but not in your particular case. You may have run out of sound pathways. Here's my view of the system (which I'm sure is wrong). You scratch, match beats, cross fade and overlay music on your two "turntables&...
