Audacity Forum

I record the company meeting each Friday and that's how I do it--with Audacity, thankyouverymuch. I pan the presentation microphone to the left and and audience question and answer to the right and that's how I deliver it. In post production, I could split the presenter channel off and email it to m...

You might be falling into the Great Nyquist Debate about Music CDs. 44100 can't really do accurate sound much above 15 KHz, FM Radio quality. They play enormous tricks to simulate frequency response above that. There are a number of people that can hear the tricks. I wonder if the oversampling and r...

I'm with the distortion people. But that's not a bad thing. People buy Neumann large capsule condenser microphones not for their accuracy, they're just not that good, but they tend to fall madly in love with the human voice at every opportunity. See: Tube Microphone Preamplifiers. Still used. Still ...

<<<If any of your data files are missing, then the project will not play properly.>>> Or sometimes at all. You inadvertently did what I very strongly recommend all recordists do; export as WAV early and often. Projects are a mixed blessing and cause a lot of problems because they can be very large a...

And a quick note. I would totally make the final product a stereo track, no matter what's on it. I have a simple audio CD authoring and burning program that marches right off the end of a cliff when presented with a mono audio track. There are monsters waiting out there for the owners of a mono trac...

<<<I think that koz is making these suggestions in the hope of making it easier for ALL users.>>> No, I'm not. This is all about me. Sorry to come off All Imperial on you, but Audacity is a very nice free audio program supported entirely by volunteers. It benefits everyone to have the one-on-one inf...

Sorry. Missed a piece. You can click inside the red record meters and they will come alive and show you sound levels without going into record.

Maybe not in the way you mean. A stereo recording in Audacity is two very different sound channels that happen to be married to the same song. They don't have to be. You can get an adapter cable that plugs into the Mac and breaks out to Left and Right, say, RCA connectors. Adapt as needed. After the...

Does the channel move a little while it's up there? If you lose one of the grounds in your custom cable, the channel without the ground or shield will hum and buzz like the end of the world. Does it still do it if you unplug all your cables? Do you have an iPod, portable CD player, or portable casse...

<<<then create a midi sequence of the slow calm track in a suitable midi sequencer>>>

Shucks. So it's not a filter I can download or something I can do with the equalizer tool?
