Audacity Forum

Dig into Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound and see what you have there. Audacity will be able to see whatever appears. If there is a software package for Macs, you should should load it and see if that helps. Audacity will manage up to 16 tracks of sound if it's presented correctly. Most...

Audacity cleans up after itself if it senses you're finished with the show. Unlike Windows, Mac OS-X is a Unix-based operating system and doesn't have an "old work" or "previously owned" hierarchy. Once the file space isn't being used for anything valuable, it gets stepped on alm...

I forgot to note: AND that's with the mic (switch on the mic) off! Does the mic switch just mute the microphone or actually take it off-line? It appears like all it does is mute.

Yes. Split Left and Right with the tools on the left drop-down, and then apply amplify (or any tool) to one track or the other. Did you try Normalize, Independent? You might like it. Amplify does the one absolute peak in the whole show and Normalize one or two peaks -- you select. Neither of them ch...

Someone else posted about wanting to do a complex podcast and, of course, wanted to do telephone interviews on top of it. We found a device which properly isolated all the ins and outs but down near the bottom of the device comments was that many cellphones provide "sidetone," in English: ...
