That's very complete. Thank you for the good post. Headphones are required if you sing. You want to do multi-track/overdubbing and it's very possible in Audacity (results assuming you can sing and play as well as he can). There are some hardware issues. In general, you just use the computer as a &qu...

You were very clear.

In Audacity 1.3, drag-select the portion you want to loop. Transport > Loop Play.

If you're already set up for "Software Playthrough," and it sound like you are, then click once inside the red recording meters. After a split second of channel setup, both the Record and Play meters will wake up along with the speakers. I sometimes do this when I don't feel like ripping m...

If you found that many lame files, you may be looking in the wrong place. You need to get Audacity 1.3.14 and lame and FFMpeg from here. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Don't split up the downloads and don't get them from somewhere else. Just to cover it, which Windows are you using and have you u...

You know, I'm assuming some highly technical, wacko electronic problem. It might be simpler. Are you recording at the same technical standards on your two Zooms? You can intentionally select multiple different digital rates and depths on an H4. http://www.ehow.com/how_12101244_change-audio-sampling-...

I think what you're supposed to do is Effect > Change Speed. One track is also running slightly off-pitch, too, but it might not be enough to worry about. One of the two recorders (or both) are capturing at the wrong sample rate. If the error is tiny, nobody would notice until somebody directly comp...

You can start by upgrading to Audacity 1.3. You can install 1.2 and 1.3 on the same machine, just don't use both at once.

A note, plug the USB device in and let Windows find it first, then launch Audacity.

no volume slider should be set to full maximum. Maybe on your sound card. It's much more important the make sure the incoming analog sound doesn't overwhelm the digitizer, no matter where the slider ends up. There is usually no great difference between full on and just down. You can probably use ei...

I need help importing a pcm file ... because when I do it and play it it sounds like the chipmunks... That usually means it's not a straight PCM file. You can tell Windows to stop hiding file extensions from you and see what the system thinks it really is. -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Co...

I use Audacity to record from microphones, mostly. The Mic-In (usually pink) connector isn't just a super sensitive input to the sound card. It's designed to supply power to a "computer microphone" in addition to managing the sound. Scroll down. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/a...
