Got the clip in good order. That sounds like data errors. That's not good. I don't think we covered what kind of computer this is. Have you restarted the machine from power off? Gracefully shut down the machine like normal and in the case of a deskside machine, reach around and pull the power cord f...

I can tell you that most likely, the microphone on your headset needs some of the services that come up from the computer. It's not a one-way trip. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/audioconnectors.html The second illustration is typical of the type of microphone you would have on your heads...

Can I understand that there is only 1.00 installs of Audacity in the whole place and everybody logs in to use it as needed? We keep insisting that Audacity is a really simple program that sometimes resists complex installs. Does lame start working if you install Audacity and lame on one of the remot...

In order to do that, the program completely takes over the computer sound services. So now here's Audacity...

Where is the sound actually coming from? Let me predict the past (pressing fingers to forehead). You got a feed from the church mixer or you provided your own microphone mixer and plugged it into the side of your PC laptop. The typical PC laptop has connections for Mic-In on the side. That connectio...

<<<Whenever I try to record something the microphone line is smooth, though when I try to actually say something into it or do something it begins to randomly fade in and out with loud static.>>>

This almost never works right. There are some very strict conditions that must be met to completely suppress the lead singer, but if you want to give it a shot... Center Pan Remover (Voice Remover--Search the page for "Center Pan Remover") http://audacityteam.org/download/nyquistplugins Vo...

We would urge you to make a quick sample recording before a major musical event to avoid recording three hours of trash. Macs tend to have "Line-In" which is a perfect match for a sound console, mixing desk, or field mixer. Laptop PCs tend to have connections for business communications wh...
