<<<I made an audio recording using audacity>>> What did you record? Singing into a microphone? If you used a USB device, that could be where you sound went. Many computers assume (wrongly) that if you plug a USB microphone in, the computer needs to assign sound to it both directions . Inspect the Wi...

My personal preference is to avoid anything with vacuum tubes in it. They're still glass and break easily, they get hot, they take a minute or two to turn on, and they take hundreds of volts to get them to work right. Oh, and they wear out and have to be replaced.

Audacity doesn't edit MP3, it converts to an internal format and then generates a new MP3 when you're done. Every time it does that, you increase MP3 compression damage -- bubbling, honky sound. You may fi...

There are a lot of options I wisk by without paying attention. It's certain that you will not be able to edit within a movie wi...

<<<Koz, your playing is not that bad... I mean, it's not your guitar... :P You'll get there with some more practice ;) I'm not much of a fan of steel strings, but for a $20 mic I think it's pretty decent.>>> The guitar is grand. I once owned a hollow-body, but I don't have those little things on my ...
