More bad graphics from Photoshop®. This is what's going on inside your microphone. The sound waves wiggle the plates of your condenser which generates a very weak signal. The transistor makes the signal hardier and more robust (but not any louder) so it will go down the cable to your mixer. All cond...

OK, so it's still double what you're expecting. The original 16-bit capture information and the 16-bit exported file. They both represent one complete show. Double the drive space.

16 bit is signed, fixed point format. When you run out of numbers during overload or clipping for example, that's the end. The damage is permanent. 32 bit floating does not have fixed numbers. This allows you to clip or create overload damage without actually losing any data. Just reduce the loudnes...

You're doing multitrack or overdubbing? We wrote a wiki on setting up and playing to yourself. You may not get to hear yourself while you're recording. That's the hard part of this, but there is no trouble at all listening to the old tracks while you record new ones. The three Hardware portions of t...

<<<The 10K resistor can be jammed right across the leads going to the mixer.>>> Wanna make sure I understand you. Where exactly do you mean if I'm using this layout with a terminal strip? There is a wire going to the tip of the 1/4" plug and a shield wire going to the sleeve of the same plug. ...

I dug in the bags of parts and came up with a "raw" electret microphone element. This one.. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062216 The specifications on the back are for a maximum supply voltage of 10 volts with a design center of around 4.5v to 5v. The actual voltag...

In reverse order: The physical size of the resistor doesn't matter in this case. That only matters when there is physical heat -- the parts get hot to the touch and you have to manage the heat. These parts will never see anything like that in normal operation. Which brings us to the batteries. If yo...

And just to play devil's advocate, Audacity does everything internally at 32-bit. It's only at Export do you get the numbers you put in Preferences, right? Also, Audacity is accumulating the show internally in real time and the drive space doubles when you export. Koz

And do set up for mono. Audacity defaults to stereo and those numbers will double.

How much room do you have?

Drag-Select the portion of show you want to operate on or select all and Effect (from the top menu bar) and scroll down until you get to Vocal Removal. It didn't used to have options and it does now, but try it with the default values. Something you can try to shortcut the process is expand the soun...
