Re: Reducing "Crunchy" Guitar Noise From Concert Audio

I don't think anybody standing in the audience with a camcorder ever got a good recording of a band. We're talking about amazing sound fields way louder than the poor microphone was designed to handle. My last concert was Nina Hagen performing in Ford's Theater. Yes, that Nina Hagen. Yes, that Ford'...

Re: opening Audacity recordings with iTunes by default

<<<iTunes imports everything in its library.>>>

Split Off Meters...*Really* Split

I think all the Audacitys do this. I pull off the meters so I can blow them up and see them easier. They become crippled separate applications. I minimize the main program (yellow button) to do something else on the desktop, I need to keep pushing the meters out of the way. They don't follow the mai...

<<<I am looking into an Apple Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow>>> They're really good, but I'd be surprised if they can figure this one out.

Re: Constant high-pitched humming, buzzing, whining

Do you have an iPod? A real one? Any vintage? How about a stereo jumper cable like this... http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102949 ...or this.

Re: Constant high-pitched humming, buzzing, whining

That's fascinating. There's just a festival of things wrong with that last sample. The audible hum is only the most obvious symptom -- and even that's not "normal."

I need to beat it up a little more. Don't take anything back or buy anything else for a while.
