Audacity Forum

A combination of Audacity drivers, USB Audio Services, and the operating system sometimes results in unstable recordings from USB turntables. Secret Aural Teachings and Home Remedies suggest an upgrade to Audacity 1.3, putting a wall-powered USB hub in the middle, and there was some talk about sacri...

We'll need to wait for one of the heavy Windows users to drop in. My Windows 2000 has different panels than you do.

You may be experiencing two problems conjoined. Since "zero" dB in digital sound level is the point at which you generate unrecoverable, audible damage, no designer in his/her right mind would design a microphone containing no live controls anywhere even close to that level. So that puts t...

At 10:41pm Pacific, I tried to reply to a question and it was taking longer and longer, so I started a new FireFox tab and went to look at the underwear models in the Sears web site. The little posting twisty thing stopped rotating so I went back to the Audacity tab and it had crashed. No tab, no we...

We're clear, right, that this was shot wrong? I'm guessing the piece was shot with the microphones on top of the camera. You can't get rid of the echoes, but you might be able to suppress the room noise...a little. You can't change the performer, either. She's competing with the room and your only h...
