Re: delay pprob!!!

You're talking about the live delay between your lips and your voice coming back from the computer to your headphones. If it's objectionable I believe about the only thing you can do is start thinking about doing the work in an external mixer. Once you monitor the work from the mixer (instead of the...

Re: Researcher in need of some help with noise reduction

Select about five seconds of the show and Export as FLAC. Attach the FLAC file to the forum with the "Upload Attachment" tools under the text entry window.

The magic phrase is 'a buzz that changes pitch'. That's pretty serious.

That one problem kills a lot of useful tools.

Re: unable to get music recorded onto pc via the usb audio c

Two danger signals. The web page is almost in English and the Specification and System Requirements have apparently not been written. But yes, it is designed to do what you want. It needs to be recognized in Windows before anything else happens. So you need to dig around in the Windows Control Panel...

Re: Audio Breakup with 1.3.8

If you've never defragmented your hard drive, it could take a good long time. Plan a nice lunch. Use the machine for a day or two -- just enough to change one or two files -- and defrag again. It takes a very much shorter time each time you do it. About the third pass, it should be good enough to do...

Re: Very large files

I would totally use a brute force splitter to break up the show into manageable chunks. The problem will be finding a FLAC splitter that runs on Mac/Unix.

Re: Very large files

Nobody should be using Audacity 1.2. Audacity 1.2 is very old and no longer supported, patched, corrected, or updated. Audacity 1.2 can be unstable on newer computers. Download and install the latest Audacity 1.3 from here... http://audacityteam.org/download/ You can install both audacity 1.2 and Au...

Re: Very large files

There are no WAV files over 4GB. That's the point WAV loses the ability to keep track of its own data. Some systems give up at 2GB. Sometimes it "folds over" and a 4.1GB files magically turns into a 100MB file. It's far worse than you think. Audacity turns any imported music file into 32-b...

Re: Audio Breakup with 1.3.8

The two variations on USB sound devices are to power them directly from the computer, or power them from a wall-powered USB hub that doesn't do anything else. Many people try to run sound through a hub that's also running the mouse, keyboard, trackball, etc. etc. That doesn't work. You never said th...

Re: Distortion problem on piano recording

Here. You can do some of this yourself. Open that last test in Audacity. Select a chunk of the first "quiet" patch. Effect > Amplify > OK. Analyze > Plot Spectrum. You should get a display something like this.. Picture 2.png Change the settings to match mine. The gentle left to right hilly...
