Re: Multichannel with Focusrite Scarlett

I thought the Scarlett would bypass any limitations of my soundcard.
It does. But the sound still has to make it through Windows, and there are some tricks to that.

I'm not a Windows elf, so I'm going to start looking.

Re: Updated De-Clicker and new De-esser for speech

There's a couple of tricks to the DeEssing business. Analyze > Plot Spectrum. Pick as high a Size as the system will allow. 16000 is good. Low pitch tones on the left, high pitch tones on the right. That blue haystack on the right is Essing. Essing.jpg Normal voices don't do that. That's the drillin...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

I'll fix that.
Is there new test code?

I'm waking up a Win7 machine out of hibernation to do testing. No Win10. Sorry.

Re: Cannot Timeshift audio into empty space on a stereo track

I am trying to timeshift a clip of audio in a stereo track against another clip of audio but it does not allow me. On the same timeline? Seems to work in 2.4.1 Which version do you have? Don't select the whole track before you try to move anything. That will make everything move at once. Does the T...

Re: Problems recording digital piano

usb adapter Such as what? I like the Behringer UCA-202 and its sisters. It's simple and all it does is adapt stereo sound to USB, both directions—and it has a headphone monitor port. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg tested the headphone socket with headphones Good ...

Re: Headset and mic needed for recording (hypnosis)

Hope that helps expand a bit. Yes, thank you. We are talking about an in-person therapy session, right? That's super important because the current crop of communication tools likes to take over the computer's sound services and systems. That forces the computer to choose between two contradictory j...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

This is a result of analyzing a noise segment only. No actual performance.

I'm assuming this is a sampling oddity. Still, that should be impossible.

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

This is what the little voice was warning me about. This is a presentation I shot a while ago. It's a real human talking into a real microphone into Audacity. It's fully mastered with DeEssing and moderate Noise Reduction. The room was quiet, but it wasn't studio quiet. Screen Shot 2020-06-04 at 18....
