Audacity Forum

But wait. There's more. I got contact information for facilities rental at ABC Radio/Burbank. When I told my friend about your show, they said, "Wow, that's ambitious!" Rather than post it all, I'll give them a call from here and see what the rates are. You get an hourly rate for the engin...

I'm not a linux weenie, but if Audacity works across platforms, you should be able to set the Device Toolbar to route music to where you want it to go.

Windows insists that when you plug in a USB turntable, it's going to accept sound from, and send sound to the turntable -- not the speakers. So your speakers drop dead. Plug in the turntable, then start Audacity. Audacity should then see the turntable for recording. You should be able to get the spe...

Try closing Audacity before you close VLC. If you close VLC first, that will close Audacity's recording device and could leave Audacity in an unstable state. You get the same effect if you unplug an USB microphone while Audacity is standing on it.

By the way, if you actually overdubbed fifteen individual tracks in, say, three part harmony, it would sound a lot better than trying to technically manipulate only two tracks. There's an enormous different between ten people singing the same note and one person duplicated. do they have to be certai...

There is no way to make it not sound like you. "Make me sound like somebody other than me.." is a very frequent request. We can't do it, but it's very frequent. If you were doing a trio sung by the internationally famous KillerQueen Brothers and you had the vocal range, you could get away ...

It depends on the sound card, the microphone, and how you have everything connected. What, which and how? USB microphones do not like going through a USB hub with other equipment. That will cause crackling and popping. Past that could be an underpowered machine. The first time you try live video or ...
