Re: Accurately Visualizing Frequency (Pitch) Over Time

A single tone made by a low male voice (expected to be easily below 100 Hz, 85 Hz probably), was shown by both of these methods to be well above 400 Hz. I think you have a very fuzzy idea of the character of the human voice. Hollywood sound people always use the 100Hz Hi Pass Filter any time we're ...

Re: One of 2 mics doesnt work on my Imac but on my Macbook

OIC. I got tired of playing "one of these things is not like the other."

I wonder if they'll sell one to me....

Through the magic of Visa Card. Shazam!

Re: audacity alpha freezes

How big is your hard drive and how full? When was the last time you did error check and defragment?

Audacity will not work into a highly fragmented hard drive and a lot of software stops working right when the drive fills up.

Re: any ideas on how to increase volume w/out distortion?

This may be another problem. Do you like head-banging, soul crushing, audible down the block, screaming rock music? Those CDs and songs are very highly processed for effect, not to be faithful to the original instruments. It's not unusual for someone to capture some of their own live music work and ...

Re: any ideas on how to increase volume w/out distortion?

A very easy way to get a high-quality volume boost is Chris's Compressor.

His software was designed to be musical and graceful and not an exercise in arithmetic.

Re: Please help - need to urgently find a way to do this

Audacity Projects are brittle and easily damaged. Projects aren't "files." They're collections of files and folders and can get out of step with each other and fail -- particularly if you're trying to use Audacity as a surveillance device. So file exports in WAV or other high quality forma...

Re: Missing data in middle of files created

We appreciate you working with us on this. Ears go up in 24 time zones when someone posts of a mystery problem with a newer version of Audacity.

Re: Missing data in middle of files created

We may need you to start getting painful about inspection of the media. Open one of the raw interview files and look at Properties > Advanced (or whatever Win7 calls it). We're looking for a file type, bit depth, sample rate, anything you can find. It would be the Windows version of this... Is there...

And just to complete the Venn Diagram, The Maximal works on the MBP and not the iMac. The AKG works everywhere? You never actually said that (that I can find).

Re: One of 2 mics doesnt work on my Imac but on my Macbook

It doesn't appear to tell you what the differences are. I assume one is pin 2 hot and the other pin 3 hot. The difference between broadcast and the older PA -- public address standard. I've never seen those for sale anywhere. I guess it's logical. You would only need one if you're trying to plug you...
