Audacity Forum

<<<What do you think to the idea of having an "import preset" function in the Equalizer effect?>>

Sure.

"I know just the cure for your sound problem. Download this text file from my web site and import it into your Equalizer Tool."

Works for me.

I know exactly how to do it, but I need to tell me non-techie mum. Remembering in Mac Land, if you open up TextEdit, it arrives in full-on, Rich Text Format or worse. You have to change it intentionally to Plain Text. Save that RTF file in Audacity by accident and you lose your equalizers--all of th...

Without Googling everything, are you reeeely sure your laptop has a Line-In? Most PC laptops don't. Most PC laptops are set up for business communications with a headset; Microphone In and Headphone Out. If you put a line signal into a microphone input, that's only about a thousand to one overload. ...

I have the XML code for an equalizer that more or less duplicates the action of a Shure High Pass Filter to suppress rumble, low frequency junk, and microphone hand noise. http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.104210700 I've been opening up the Audacity Equaliz...

Sound overload or clipping is one of the Four Horsemen. Pretty deadly. One of the people on the forum was working on a sibilance filter. I wonder how that's coming along. That's not strictly the same thing, but some of the characteristics are the same. Search the forum(s) or Google Clipping Fixer or...

MBox may be one of the machines that don't get along too well with Audacity. Search the forum(s) for mbox.

I probably wouldn't use 1.2.4. It had memory leak and stability problems. 1.2.6 is good. Audacity does all of its work in Projects. It doesn't produce a single "sound thing" until you Export As Wav or other format. Until then, Audacity constantly uses all the components, clips, and files t...

Audacity plays mystery filetypes as if they were uncompressed, so if your ten second file flies by in one second, whatever file type it is features 10 to 1 compression. Do you have your Windows set to show you file extensions? Windows comes out of the box hiding file extensions that it already knows...

On a Mac, it's not unusual to have to set the devices in Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input. Leave Audacity on Default. Correct me, but that Canopus is a FireWire video capture device, yes? That means it's not an Audio capture device and probably isn't going to appear in the sound...

I think he wants to know where is the sound coming from. Did you plug a microphone into your sound card? Are you recording a USB turntable?

We sometimes need to step back and look at the whole system to figure out what's wrong.
