Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

Getting there. I have a really odd system problem—new to me. What and where is audacityPortable? I've never had the Mac INFO system disagree...with itself. Only half of it thinks that exists. Terminal (shell) has no idea what's going on. What's going on? Step one in analysis is kill off all the ac-c...

Re: Pre 2.3.3 Equilization plugin?

Did it have a name? I don't know of a default equalization setting. It can either be a plugin or default. It can't be both. A plugin is a set of corrections you download or get from somewhere else because the default settings and equalizers don't fit your needs. So all you ever did was Effect > Equa...

Re: ACX meditation - silent gaps affecting RMS?

I am recording meditation files for ACX.

Just a caution.

Re: Blue Yeti

What do I lose by going with a USB mic and jettisoning the mixer setup USB microphones are not plug and forget in spite of what the makers want you to believe. If you answer a few questions we can find out if you can get anything to work. Do you have the USB version of the Mackie? I need those word...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

I can test what ever you come up with. I can make the existing one crash reliably and predictably.

Re: Blue Yeti

You can trace your sound. There's a little green light in the mixer upper left to set your mic level. The mixer has Line-Out bouncing light meters to the right, Windows has a sound meter and Audacity will monitor your sound if you click in the recording meters > Start Monitoring. Does your Windows h...

Re: Blue Yeti

We have posters who write like they've been reading for years and just have this one little problem....... In fact, they can't get their new inna-box microphone to work. If you do get a Yeti, get it from someone reputable and save the receipts and packing. There are computer/Yeti combinations which ...
