Re: Crackling noise during vocal recording

You also have talking into a rain barrel problems. You probably have Windows enhanced services running and they're trying to "help you" make a phone conference. Also, it's a completely bad idea to record live voice without headphones. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/faq_reco...

Re: Merge two track

Not a lot of info there.
Import both sound files into audacity. They will appear one above the other and play at the same time. Drag-Select the bottom one, copy and paste it on the end of the top one.

Re: 4 headsets and a mixer

There's quite a list of problems doing this. That's why I want a description of the show. Ever notice that in TV news broadcasts, it's almost always one person interviewing one person, two at most? then they throw it back to The Studio which has the large mixing board and multiple hosts and any numb...

Re: Can I somehow tell the time the sounds were recorded?

It's not a setting. It doesn't exist. You can buy an expensive SMPTE timecode generator and put that on one of the two sound channels. Play through a reader and it will tell you the exact time in real time or event time. You can also record the shortwave broadcasts of CHU Canada or WWV in the US on ...

Re: Recording guitar with an amp to computer

Are you on Windows with a laptop? Which one? You understand that an amplified guitar sounds very different through a microphone and the amplifier/speaker cabinet than it does with a straight electronic connection. Many people find that the electronic transfer is sterile and flat compared to the acou...

Re: Music Doesn't play in CD Player

I did drop my cellphone down the toilet,(don't ask). Funny enough I felt a strong sense of liberation... A very heavy cellphone will do that. Also, you have to be careful not to walk in circles because you're now lighter on one side and you're not used to that. ...you are supposed to aim for it, I ...

Re: Cant save or export my project

You left us with a hole at the critical point. What does it do? Try using plain characters in your filenames. You can get into serious troubles trying to put dates, for example, in a filename. Today is 20120701, not 7/1/12. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash and underscore are unconditional...

Re: 4 headsets and a mixer

Step through a show. Describe everything. Make it as uncontrolled as possible, say an interview outside the house somewhere. You're describing several contradicting ideas. Did you ever do field operations for your earlier show? You were on a laptop, you could do that. Doing a complex show outside th...

Re: Brand New Mic. Need help with using it?

You need a preamp to get the very tiny microphone signal boosted up far enough so the Line-In connection has enough to work with -- on your Mac. Windows Laptops, almost across the board, have no Line-In. Just Mic-In with its own preamp which should be perfect for your new microphone. Can you record ...

Re: 1 millisecond delay

No. Audacity doesn't do anything in real time. You need either purpose-built software or one of the larger audio programs. I know you can do this in ProTools. Koz
