Re: Removing DC offset adds noise

Try adding a brief fade at the beginning and end of the work. That will suppress the pop if we don't resolve it any other way. You're not losing any significant volume with errors that small. There is a just noticeable shift in volume when you make a 6dB error in signal. That's half and double. Dig ...

Re: Distortion - But the soundlevel is under 0 db...

You should post how you solved it. This is a dialog, not a help desk. I personally would be using Chris's Compressor for doing what you want. It makes the work much louder and denser and doesn't create obvious distortion. http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/chriss-dynamic-compressor-plugin-for-audacity/...

Re: Multitrack playback bug

Before you throw the "B" word around, you need to make sure that the behavior wasn't intended. Very few people pile up exactly the same show one atop the other. That's what the Amplify effect does. What's more normal is violins, trumpets, vocal, and piano. In that case, the overall volume ...

Re: Pitch correction for video speedups/slowdowns?

Doesn't one of the tools have the effect of dragging your finger on the record? Everything slows down -- or speeds up. It should be the simplest of the tools. You could do it by resampling badly. Play a 48000 at 45000 and then permanently sample it at the new rate. It's doing one without the other t...

Re: audacity not recording my voice

We love first person accounts. I spoke into my Logitech Desktop USB microphone connected to my Compaq Presidia laptop running Audacity 1.3.12 under Windows XP-SP3.

Your turn.

Re: Pitch correction for video speedups/slowdowns?

Film in Europe generally runs at 25-FPS, not 24. They have the advantage that their television and their film naturally run at the same framerate. PAL/NTSC converters are an interesting lot. They have to write one frame on one side of a blackboard in one speed and read it in real time from the other...

Re: Suddenly won't export multiple

It saves itself. Audacity keeps a record of events. While you have Audacity open, Top Menu Bar > Help > Show Log. Copy and paste that to this forum. Select "Code" on the forum page because if you don't, our systems might try to make the words look "pretty" and hide or damage some...

Re: I want to record my voice and computer sound!

Will your Windows allow you to select more than one sound device? If it does, (I think the earlier Windows would let you do that) then the Stereo Mix option should give you sound from everything you have selected. If not, then I don't think you can do this with the stock Windows software. You can re...

Re: Cassette tapes into iTunes via Audacity 1.3.3 Beta

The instructions 'seem' to say that this is one of the laptops that shares one connection between two different services, Line-In and Mic-In. Only Line-In is stereo. Did you change anything that seemingly has nothing to do with music -- like a new Skype account or other 'telephone over computer' or ...

Re: DJ mixer panning

Im recording a DJ mix straight off my 2 channel mixer into the mic jack on my computer, as basic as it gets. Basic, but wrong. Mic-In on a Windows Laptop is mono. It may arrive as two channels in programs, but it's one sound channel -- usually Left -- split between them. To get "real" ste...
