Audacity Forum

There are certainly Line to Mic adapters which is relatively easy to do. Line or high level audio is relatively controlled and well behaved and it's easy to reduce the level to something a microphone system can handle. Many people make them. http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/pd/productID.1042...

can anyone tell me how to include length of track info when exporting WAV file to WMP?

I think you must have left words out of your post. Doesn't Windows Media know the length of your show?

Audacity, and you should be using Audacity 1.3.12, not 1.2, is not a good program to work with remote handles. It's a very simple program and likes running on very simple computers. That and traditionally, Audacity doesn't do anything in real time except record and play. So no processing or other fi...

Do you have any other sound software running, like Skype or other audio production packages? Skype in particular is not a good neighbor. Go into Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input and make sure your built-in microphone is selected and the blue sound meter jumps when you talk. Then...

Nothing is broken. The microphone and the mic connection are both mono. Designed that way. You can set up Audacity to know about mono and record the show like that, or you can cause Audacity to copy "Left "(of a stereo show) to both channels. Go into Audacity Preferences and set 1 (Mono) a...

This is ringing bells. You can get uncontrollable overloading if you're plugged into the wrong computer input. We know of computers that switch one input between Mic-In (very easily overloaded) and Line-In (proper). It's also possible to buy sound cards where Line-In isn't blue. Go ahead. Ask me how...

It's unusual for an analog Line-In (blue) not to have volume controls somewhere. Are you sure you're in the Record side of the Windows Control Panels? There are (or were) two different Windows panels and they looked very similar. Each input "device" should have its own little volume slider...

As explained in the above post. Audacity and lame are both free and you should be using the 1.3.12 version of Audacity. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Do not use earlier works or any "similar" software from anywhere else. MPEG1, Layer 3 (MP3) is licensed software and can't be included i...

Plug headphones into the side of the laptop and listen closely to the Audacity show before you try to burn a CD. It should be clean there. Connecting a turntable is done many different ways. If you're using analog, there has to be a Phono Preamplifier between the turntable and the computer, and you ...

Ideas?

Yes. You get to tell us What you're recording.
