Re: improving quality of recording

some of the recording are fine, good quality, no problem, but others are crap. Does it happen to be the 78s that are crap? 78s take a different needle than 33 and 45. If you use a 33 needle on a 78 record, it tracks down on the bottom of the groove where the dirt and cat hairs are. That and the fid...

Re: OUT OF THE ORDINARY Problem with recording [Atchmnt insi

You have the red recording meters and the green playback meters running at the same time. That means you're running in feedback similar to holding a rock band microphone up to the speaker on the stage. Or a bad lecture. .....eeeeEEEEEEEE. Your Audacity will differ slightly from mine, but Audacity Pr...

Re: Learning language. Record voice and compare to recording

In Audacity 1.3, you would set Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Overdub... (select). Get Audacity 1.3 from here. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Restart Audacity. That will play your old track and let you record a new one at the same time. Are you just language learning? Do you know that a...

Re: How record with 2 mics?

Audacity will only recognize one sound device -- not two or more -- and most computers have one digitizer or sound management channel. I think the older SoundBlaster sound cards used to have the ability to fade up Mic-In and Line-In at the same time and you could fake it that way. Newer sound cards ...

Re: How record with 2 mics?

Newer Macs can use the Aggregate Device feature to combine two USB microphones into one. Everybody else buys a mixer. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PV6 This is the one we use at work and I have one. They make a USB version of this for PCs. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PV6USB http:...

Re: Can not Record in W7/64bit with Beta 1.3.13 Audacity

Are you using a loop-through cable to record internet sound? Line-Out to Mic-In? I think you're intended to record Stereo Mix instead of the analog cable loop sound. Stereo Mix doesn't have volume control problems -- or analog distortion. This is the generic Recording Internet wiki page. See if any ...

Re: gettting player to reconize tracks

Let me read that back to you. You Exported your music as a WAV sound file and you want to burn the file to a Music CD so any music player can play it. You need a Music CD authoring and burning program once you have the WAV file. Windows Media should let you do that using its tools. It's possible to ...

Re: Copy Channel

When you open your show on the timeline as blue waves, do you only have one set of waves instead of two like this? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg If so, open the track menu with the dropdown on the left. Split Stereo Track. [X] delete the silent one. Duplicate the existing one...

Re: No USB Audio Device Selection

That's the fileset for an automatic install of the software -- under Windows. If the mixer has special needs or uses an unconventional set of instructions, the Mac isn't going to know what to do with it. I bet a Windows machine won't know, either -- without the software. Mac drivers are pretty much ...
