Audacity Forum

..B&O... Certainly. Did you keep the preamp? You'll need that. Plug the Tape Out or Line-Out of the Preamp into the Line-In of your Mac and go. You never came right out and said which Mac, but all the modern ones except the Air have Line-In. You won't need the little female to female adapter in ...

You posted in the generic forum so we need to start with...if you're on a Mac and the unit shows up in the Apple Peferences Panels, select it and put Audacity on Default Input. If you're on a Windows machine, it depends on the drivers. There are driver types, ASIO, I think, that can cause problems. ...

If the middle of the blue waveform isn't in the middle of the timeline (too high or too low), then you most likely have battery voltage or DC mixed in with the sound. You can get rid of it with the Normalize tool, but you can't ever get rid of the distortion that way. Once you capture sound with top...

Bugs are very specific events and they're a lot less common than everybody thinks. Some unintended (usually evil) behavior easily reproducible by the many hundreds of people who reported it. So chances are, no. When I do that, my CPU goes up into the high 70% range and then settles back down to norm...

You might look closely at "lame," (Lame Ain't an MP3 Encoder). Although everybody uses lame's ability to crank out MP3 files (in spite of its name), it's far more powerful than that and it will run stand-alone in a Linux (Mac OS-X) environment. All of this, however still in unreal time. Koz

<<<On the fly encoding: On>>> On the fly encoding: Not available. Audacity doesn't do any effects management in real time. It's a post production tool, although there's no shortage of people who want that in a future release. Over and above that, Audacity only supports certain plain, widely availabl...

I wrote a little thing about how audio travels down those cables. Your cables work like the top illustration. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/audioconnectors.html All audio has to have at least two wires. These cables work by making the shield the second wire for both left and right. The p...
