However this equipment should run as a straight recording. Open Audacity preferences and reset for 44100, 16-bit, Stereo (the set...

Re: playback echo

I bet you never filled up your hard drive before, either. It doesn't actually have to be full. You can have heavy fragmentation and get the same effect. Defrag -- Right Click Start > Explore > Right Click Local Drive C: > Properties (Used, Remaining) -- Tools > Error Checking & Defragmentation T...

Re: Recording without saving

There are a number of ways to do that depending on what the actual job is. Any reason you're not using a cheap Radio Shack PA amplifier? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4004309 The reason I say that is Software Playthrough is almost always late late, resulting resulting in in e...

Re: Acoustic guitar recording

Doesn't have to be a guitar, either. I once had to get a voice track from a shy, four-foot-tall Asian woman whose entire reason for existence was to become one with the wall paper. I have no idea how the producer managed to get her to agree to this, but she did have a very good voice for the animate...

Re: How to UnRobotize after Effects > Noise Removal

Noise Reduction is not going to turn a messy recording into a studio track over a velvety silent background. Usually the best you can do without show damage is suppress the noise -- sometimes only a little bit. People who overdo these settings usually get Martians or gargling aliens for a show. The ...

Re: Recording A Mix Through Turntables Using Audacity...

<<<plugging the "computer" lead into the booth output and putting the lead into the micrpohone slot on my laptop>>> Which is an insane mismatch. You are putting a high-level, powerful, stereo signal into the computer expecting a tiny, wispy, delicate mono microphone signal. Unless your com...
