<<<(I understand that with a proper Y-cable, the MAC supports mic-in and audio out on the headphone jack.) >>> I've never found that. That's a good research project. I know both of the jacks support optical digital SPDIF as well as analog copper connections. Is that what you mean? I don't know that ...

The PV6 comes in a USB version. I have the analog version because the digital converter in the Mac is top quality, and I think the USB version came out after I bought mine. If you get the appropriate mixing board and it has USB built-in, then you will have solved two problems at once and your cost c...

<<<I must record some phone interviews using a cellphone (on loud speaker mode). I'm using a hand-held digital voice recorder for that. So I have the cellphone on loud speaker on one hand, and the digital recorder on the other, with the mic pointing towards the speaker of the cellphone.>>> There it ...

Antennas have magic properties in the Near Field -- when you get very, very close. See: Apple iPhone 4. Did you ever describe what your recorder was and how you have it connected? Are you using the hands free setting on the phone and just leave the recorder running on the table? I have a PearlCorder...

What did you have "Minimum Free Memory" set to? Same panel.

<<<Personally I thought that the Noise Removal worked very well on that recording.>>> I'm not surprised. The shoot was engineered to make correction almost redundant. It's the textbook perfect sound shoot for correction tools. Very low level, constant noise in a seriously high quality, uncompressed,...

You should be able to force the sound inputs and outputs back to normal with the Mac Preferences. Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input & Output. Select the ones you really want. You will have to restart Audacity to make any of these settings stick. You also may need to reset Aud...

Cast your mind back. Was there a Noise Gate that had problems with mono? The gate I'm using now works famously. This one is v2-1 and the control panels are very different. This is the down side of shifting between machines twice a day. Actually, it works too well. The silence between the performance...

Two items: -- You should get rid of the haystack at the top, too. 635A.jpg This is one classic example. It makes the guitar sound much more pleasant without the strident vocal boost. I would pull the stack down frequency a bit and take more out. More 3K and less 10K. Of course, none of this is appli...

Yes I can do significantly better after getting rid of the haystack and gently boosting down to 100 and then drop. However, Noise Gate doesn't seem to like this show file at all. It causes significant damage and it's asymmetrical. It wouldn't take much work. If the hash in the -50 range drooped to -...
