Re: Poor podcast audio quality when recording from LP??? Hel
Actually, I wasn't expecting that particular result, but it does tell me the connection between the two mixers may be miswired. Tell me exactly what you did to connect the two. Which cable is connected to what. Read the labels from all the connectors. I think I have all the connection diagrams here....

Re: Audacity & the Blue Screen of Death
Audacity is a really simple audio program and it really likes working on a really simple computer. No hard drive anywhere on a production machine, audio or video, should be over 90% full to do any sort of work. Most serious producers start worrying at 80%. <<<20mb of space remaining.>>> That's usual...

Re: clipping at +/- 0.5
<<<Does seem a bit strange but there we are.>>> Not so strange if you know how to run a screwdriver and soldering iron. One way to create mono from stereo is to smash the two signals together and then divide the signal level by two. This is precisely what you can't do because the two smashed signals...

Re: dell/vista can only record with microphone
The best advice I've seen so far is is getting a double sided 3.5mm jack and plug one into your mic and one into your headphone jack Which most times doesn't work, either. Windows PCs are designed for business communications, not entertainment. That means the Mic-In is extremely low level and easil...

Re: Burning Audio to CD in Real Time
<<<Audacity does not burn CD's.>>> Nor does it do anything in real time. You will also find that there is no such thing as a stand-alone CD burner, probably thanks to the eternal vigilance of the RIAA. There is also the technical problem of making the performance data exactly match the burning data ...

Re: DISTORTED RECORDING
Since I'm not standing behind you watching you work, you need to tell us what kind of computer you have, which version of Audacity, and what you're trying to record.

Too Many Forums II

Everything was going fine, recorded one track and went to record a second on top of it and everything was super distorted. Now when i open a new session i to record the same the same thing happens. ...

Re: Two sound cards in the same machine...
That's not to say you can't record both scanners. Buy the splitter cables to put scanner A on the left and scanner B on the right. Record the whole thing and split up the stereo show into mono tracks later.
This could easily hum and buzz if you have an antenna on the roof.

Re: Two sound cards in the same machine...
In a word, no. Audacity will only work with one sound device at a time and you can only have one Audacity running.

Re: new user
Hmmmm. That's how I do it on an Intel Mini. <<<I have binned and reloaded the program once.>>> That may have given you a warm feeling, but it didn't reload the program. To get that, you need to bin the audacity.cfg file wherever your computer put it. You know you have a fresh Audacity when it asks y...
