Audacity Forum

You do bump into one problem almost immediately. The M-Audio stuff is very nice, but they typically use ASIO software drivers and Audacity doesn't support ASIO. You can try it anyway, but, there are a lot of postings from people who say, "I have an M-Audio [some part number] and it will not [so...

Effect > Normalize will adjust the volume of both sides of the performance independently.

You can also split the stereo tracks with the tools on the left and then apply any Audacity tool to one side or the other.

It's not unusual for Windows to become confused when you plug a USB device in. It tries to manage sound both directions to that device. Sound from the turntable to the computer works pretty well, but it also tries to send playback back to the turntable. That doesn't work so well. Windows Control Pan...

Do you get your hard drive light flashing a lot between the time you press the button and the sound comes back out? Pay attention to that next time. Performer mon...

I have similar problems between my "entertainment wall" and the computers. I got rid of the buzz and hum with one of these. http://www.cs1.net/products/jensen_transformers/CI-2RR.htm I didn't actually buy that unit, I already owned the individual Jensen® transformers so I built my own box....

<<<Any suggestions as to what type (or make) of cable I should get?>>> I doubt the type of cable is going to make any difference at all given you're not going to change the underlying system or equipment layout. If the problem is ratty wall power, it may make it worse. <<<I might even get a (usb) pr...

Yes, that's pretty much what a hard limiter does. Again dipping into ancient history, the CBS Labs company made a two-box audio processor that was once found in every FM station in the US. Volumax and Audimax. In hardware, they did what Chris does, except they didn't have look-ahead. The Audimax was...
