Audacity Forum

<<<anyone have a fix for this? >>> No, but we mostly know why it's happening. You can't actually plug a powerful, line level, stereo signal into a connector that's expecting a tiny, wispy, mono microphone signal. It usually just distorts in addition to being missing the "right" channel. If...

A note ran this weekend about the direction Windows 8 is taking. Virtual machines, cloud computing, and total business orientation. If you thought Win7 was awkward to use.... So that leaves Mac (Easy/Expensive), and Linux (Difficult/Free). And before the Linux weenies get all excited, who do you thi...

It's good to make it through the Project explanation. Audacity will not save a sound file and AUP is not a sound format.

A note. You're still going to need to get rid of the noise level that appeared in your test. I mean at the capture step, not later. Doing a voice job is not an automatic cue to apply six or eight filters, patches, and tools. If you need that, it usually means your capture is technically damaged no m...

You use what you're comfortable with and the one that works best. That's the non-answer. The real answer is you're much more likely to be successful with 1.3.12.

<<<The recording would benefit greatly from using a better microphone (close up) and better sound card, both for producing less noise, and picking up the lower (more manly) tones in the voice.>>> Oh, yes. I forgot about that. Directional microphones have Proximity Effect. You get ballsier the closer...

Left to its own devices, iTunes saves music in AAC, not MP3. You can configure Audcaity 1.3.12 to recognize this format, but not Audacity 1.2. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Audacity 1.3 Projects will not open in 1.2. You can safely put both versions of Audacity on your machine, but only use one ...

Windows machines are corporate computers and successive versions of Windows machines make this internal recording thing harder and harder to do. The older machines let you record using a pathway called "What-U-Hear." "Mix-Out," or "Stereo-Mix," according to your compute...

<<<(not that there's any guarantee that everyone will necessarily read it, even if it's in inch high flashing DayGlo letters).>>> The links are not for the users/posters. They're for the elves. I use them all the time. By the time people in difficulty arrive, they're already composing a question in ...
