Audacity Forum

I'm personally a fan of plugging your mixer directly into the Line-In of your iBook and put the iMic out in the garage where I put mine.

<<<Is Audacity the right program for this?>>> Yes, but not the way you think. There is no good way to do it electronically using any method you're likely to afford. Set up your laptop PC to record a microphone that you supplied. Put the mic in the middle of the table so it can "hear" all s...

So you posted a little bit of it so we can inspect it? Or supplied the URL?

<<<How can I get rid of it?>>> You probably don't. Internet, or any IP based telephone systems have echo. They just do. We just put in a top quality, many hundred instrument, fast and broad telephone system at my company and guess what? It has echoes. The system is very, very cool, but it has echoes...

<<<Yes. When the tracks are imported, that's the way they will be.>>> This is me writing that down. I knew normalize didn't do dynamic compression within any one track (like everybody wants), but I didn't know it would treat stacked tracks like that. That may easily get the original poster out of tr...

<<<USB 2.0 power hub, the distortion problem was fixed!>>> Very cool. Now what did it? The USB 2.0 or the power? I wouldn't be shocked if it was either one.

One more note. It's possible the most valuable thing that comes out of this is knowing why the thing crashed so you can avoid that in the future or fix whatever is broken. Drive filling up? Unstable machine? More than one Audacity open?

http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=CrashRecovery Not to get your hopes up or anything. You have a damaged Audacity Project. Very few people manage to put a Project back together again after it crashes. Try the information in that link and see how it goes. But do it while you're planning y...
