Re: How to avoid noise

<<<unless i covered entire camera>>> The microphones are almost always behind a black grillwork so the camera looks like an insect from the front. Sometimes they're mounted on the handle if there is one. What's the model number of the camera? We might be able to tell you where it is / they are. Koz

Re: Pitch-shifting a certain frequency range only

Questions like this always imply that you can take one instrument out of the mix and do something to it. Very probably not. Instruments sound like instruments not by the frequency they're playing but by the overtones. This is the analysis of one (1) piano note, G two octaves below middle C. http://w...

Re: How to avoid noise

You can do that, but I think we're going to tell you the same thing. Yes, the performance is way too loud for the type of microphone you're using. The little mic on top of the camera is an electret condenser microphone (or two) and they have one really bad overload problem, if the sound gets loud en...

Re: Mic Failure -- Windows

We may need to wait for the Windows elves on this one. It is a Windows machine right, because you said reboot my laptop and not restarted my Mac. It's possible when the connection failed, Windows abandoned it so now it's gone even though it's working OK. That's a trip down the Windows Control Panel,...

Re: Mic Failure

The USB connection probably failed. Unplug and replug it a couple of times and try again. Try, if you can, a different USB connection. Many computers have two or more.

Re: How to avoid noise

So did we hit it? Everything sounds dense and close and the bass notes pop?

Re: successive tracks out of time with one another

That's latency in your computer. You might be able to get rid of that by selecting Hardware Playthrough instead of Software Playthrough in Preferences > Audio I/O. Audacity 1.3 lets you tune out latency with a slider. In any event, it's possible to put all the tracks back into alignment with the Tim...

Re: Registry Preferences Issue

Since there is no license, are you sure you have Audacity? While you download Audacity, the download page tries to get you to buy AVS Editor and everybody gets burned by this once.

Re: I can't record from audio tape

<<<input must be reduced using the mixer toolbar.>>>

...or the headphone volume control on the player, my first choice.
