If you fail to destroy your old shortcut icon in the Doc on the bottom of the screen (or on the side if that's where you put it), it will insist on opening up the old one. Audacity 1.2 and Audacity 1.3 are designed to co-exist perfectly on a machine. No further destruction is needed. I need to come ...

FYI, now when I try to use the noise removal, i am hearing sort of a high pitched clinking in the background. Sounds worse than the actual light noise that was there before. I have it on the lowest setting so clearly that's not the issue. Noise removal is a violin. Good in trained hands. It is requ...

That's what you mean when you say set to 50hz. But I'm not sure where I'd set the "rolloff" of 24 db...where would i find that? They should all be on the same panel... Screen shot 2011-04-27 at 1.00.00 PM.png You are in Audacity 1.3, right? Mixers generally don't bother with 50 Hz. Nobody...

All the Google hits go straight to the AT2020. This may be like the Logitech Desktop Microphone which doesn't have a model number because there ever was only one.

Behold, another of the problems of a USB microphone. 2M/six foot cable restriction.
