You can get file management insanity if you put punctuation or other non-spoken characters inside a filename. The computer might interpret, for example, 5/5/12Music.wav as two different directories or folders and a filename instead of just a music file with a date. Did you do anything like that? Wha...

This is where you do the playback production and mixing on the second computer and use the first one to record the composite show. You might be able to do something like what you want by recording Stereo Mix instead of just one Sound Device, but managing something like that would be a nightmare. You...

The jump from one microphone to two is a big one. On a Mac, you can use Aggregate Device to jam two USB microphones together, but you can't control them individually and you can't change the mix later. You can use two or more microphones into two or more computers and mix the individual tracks later...

w/ some compression noise added. That's not compression noise -- although it sounds a lot like it. That's the sound damage that Audacity 1.2 Noise Reduction always adds to the show. The Noise reduction in Audacity 2 is much more intelligent about how it works. However. No Noise Reduction can get ri...

You should be able to use the Device Toolbar to select Line-In and not Stereo-Mix, Wave-Out, or What-U-Hear. Those three might give you multiple sounds instead of just the one you want. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/device_toolbar.html Did your computer instructions say you had one ...

I found on a page, that someone said USB microphone can't be used. What we said was you can't reliably record Skype without purpose built hardware or software. Skype is pretty vicious about the way it manages sound channels in order to maintain the good quality it's known for. That tends to reduce ...

Our tools all assume the valuable performance is louder than the trash. The minute you reverse that, we're dead.

We do not offer a free audio forensics service. Please contact an appropriate commercial company.

Not that I could find. The OS-X window that has focus is in front. You can't make a window sticky ad lib. OS-X assumes Audacity knows that it's doing.

You should post a link to the music you like. Then post a short segment of your finished but uncompressed mix. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936 You should know that you have seriously contradictory requirements. Loud, Clear is the opposite of Full Dynamic Sound. Full dyna...

Plug in the turntable, then launch Audacity and then use the device toolbar to make sure you're recording from the USB Device. Not anything else, and do it in that order. If you like recording Internet Audio, that's the setting that can mess up local musical recording. http://manual.audacityteam.org...
