Re: numark dj io

Try setting Audacity Preferences to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. That's the specification for Music CD and it's almost universal. You might run into problems if the mixer is set for multiple channel, not just stereo. A very common problem with USB microphones is the mismatch where the microphone is mono a...

Re: Test if .wav file was ever an mp3

Given that MP3 works on psycho-acoustical phenomena, not electrical, I'm going with no. You can obviously tell if somebody overdid it and the show is bubbling and honky, but if they did a good job in encoding and used a high enough bitrate, you should not be able to tell. The only other way to tell ...

Re: Artifacts In Recorded Tracks (Sample Included)

Back in the dim memory of analog systems, over a 50% range of damage, you got a 50% range of perceived distortion in the work. The digital people assured us that digital systems either worked or they didn't. Turns out digital system have their problems, too. They can dance rapidly between total succ...

Re: Problem sharing Audacity projects

Get them to send it back and you open it. Hide the original so your system doesn't open up the wrong one by accident. Koz
