Re: only records in mono

We're starting to notice you're not following instructions. We really need to figure out whether your computer or your source is messing up. Can you do that touch test for us? I don't remember you telling us whether or not you had two tracks in Audacity or only one. Does your Audacity have two blue ...

Re: Need help getting Mic , etc. for voice recording

Sony ECM-MS907 is a special purpose microphone designed for custom connection to a stereo camcorder or personal recorder. I don't think it will plug into anything else. Most microphones are mono. It will not plug into an ART USB DUAL PRE . You may find the Logitech microphone all you need for all th...

Re: ZOOM H1 AS EXTERNAL MIC WITH AUDACITY

Sure, just not in Audacity 1.2. Audacity 1.3 has latency delay adjustments. 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/ Y...

Re: Hi, I have 2 questions!!

I still have one of those exact combinations and it works very well. I built the machine and I was careful to keep the sound card away from all the other cards like it says in the instructions. I recorded analog stereo like that for several years with no serious degradation. Windows 2000 was pretty ...

Re: Need help getting Mic , etc. for voice recording

What kills most home recordings isn't something you can easily fix or buy. It's room noise and echoes. You can instantly tell when somebody made a YouTube recording at home because they all sound like they were recorded in a bathroom or garage, regardless of what it looks like.

Re: Hi, I have 2 questions!!

This raises 2 questions: a) Is it no longer necessary/desirable to use a preamp and The Phono Preamplifier's job is to remove the normal, intentional RIAA Vinyl Distortion from the show. Vinyl audio is not clear and perfect until corrected. It does not just make the show louder. Yes, you need one, ...

Re: Using Audacity Components

The Developers are currently struggling with patching the recent Audacity 1.3.13 and preparing 2.0 for release. I think the chances of getting anything like this are zero.
