Audacity Forum

Audacity doesn't do anything in real time past play, record, and some timer functions. There no inverse of the notch filter, but you can make one. Apply Effect > Low Pass filter and Effect > HighPass Filter slightly lower. The difference between them is a bandpass filter. And you can make a band pas...

It would be good to know if you amplified that dead track, if it was really dead, or just very, very low. We have no idea what you're recording. A microphone plugged into the side of the laptop? Stereo-Mix? Stereo Mix is something of a nightmare to fix because it's a recursive sound pathway. "H...

On my system when I press Play and then Stop, the cursor goes back to where it started from.

You can press P for Pause instead of Stop. Then the show will pick up right where you left it.

You should be careful because Pause will lock out many tools and effects, whereas Stop does not.

Video clips show up cold with frames already marked and the timeline, too, is configured to have the same frame rate as the clips. Audacity would have to arbitrarily assign frame boundaries.

Some Macs and I think Linux can force two USB devices to run at once as one, but you can't separate the voices later and they slowly drift out of...

How do I make beautiful three-part harmony when I can't sing any of the three parts? Overdubbing can be used to record multiple voices, each on their own track for later filtering and correction. There are two slightly different methods: Perfect, with specialized hardware, and Make Do with a simple ...

I called in the Birthday Money, the Christmas money and Mad Money from the Sock Drawer and got an SSD for my laptop. It's quiet, very fast, cool and I still have 4-5 hour battery life (it says). It stops acting like a drive and more like a stunningly large expansion of the internal memory. You can t...

I don't believe USB audio goes through any of those Windows services, but I'm not the expert. do not ask me how, but I managed to do it. I used to get that. The machine would set me up automatically and then drop me like a hot rock. If the settings went wrong, that's me trying to figure out what hap...
