One of the things that the pop filter does that's less obvious is make it so the singer can't get lipstick on the microphone. That separation is a big deal. Directional microphones have a thing called proximity effect. The closer you get, the worse the bass and thumping is. You must have been right ...

AUP isn't a sound file. It's a Project Manager. They can either send you the _DATA folder that goes with it, or export the show as WAV (an actual sound file) and send that. Alternately, they can install the "lame" software package which will allow them to export an MP3, which is probably w...

Reducing the pops to zero will leave a hole. But only if you programmed it that way. The advantage of a pop gate is the ability to reduce or eliminate pops without affecting the rest of the show at all. This particular show, for example, might have been passable if you recognized all the much, much...

We recommend capturing at a fairly low dB level because low volume can easily be corrected. High volume can cause permanent, fatal damage to the show. Everyone arrives with the idea that they are going the press record and walk away with a perfect presentation recording. You might by accident, but t...

It's not Audacity. Windows changes modes automatically when it senses something in the system has changed. We get into trouble all the time with a USB turntable capturing Windows sound services and not putting them back later. Windows thinks you plugged a microphone in. How old is the sound card? Ho...

Without being the authority, it sounds like you're recording Mix-Out or What-U-Hear instead of the show. Mix-Out is the setting you need to record internet audio, but absolutely not the setting you need for local audio production. Go into the Windows Control Panels and make sure you understand every...

Two things need to happen. Your Windows machine needs to have a stereo Line-In connection which a great many Laptops don't, and the "TV Set" needs to have the audio available as separate sound cables -- usually red and white RCA connectors. If you don't have both of those conditions, then ...

I'm just now gettin' into this. You could put your music effects on an iPod and patch it into the Peavey or other mixer as one of its high-level stereo inputs. At the right time, you press the play button "Well, that's our show for this week, be sure to post to my FaceBook Page and we'll see yo...

As a baby step, I would probably uninstall FFMpeg and pull down and install it fresh. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Then, when that doesn't work, I would probably trash the Audacity Preferences file and make Audacity start over from First Birthday -- except I don't know how to do that on a Windo...

I'd like to use my Mac as a recording studio I do that all the time. My chain is a MacBook Pro getting stereo analog signals from a Peavey PV6 mixing desk. That particular mixer will accept all types of analog microphones from the cheap Radio Shack ones to top Studio Microphones. It will supply pha...
