Re: Draft

<<<Win98 SE>>> I have a number of machines running Windows 2000. It's the stable daddy to WinXP and it doesn't make you call in each license for "verification" (we assume for your safety and convenience). I wonder what you need to do if your WinXP machine never touches the internet. No dou...

Re: Fundamental Sound Play Issue- Help Requested

I was going to send you to the OS-X System Preferences panel, but I see you've already been there. Unless you know this is possible--that you've seen it done before, I'm going with you can't do that at all. It was a conscious design decision on Apple's part to make it really difficult to run the inp...

Re: Basic Help needed!!

I think nobody's touched this question because it's a little foggy. You captured some cassette tape performances and imported the music into iTunes and then didn't like the way they sounded? Did I get that? Did they sound OK before you imported into iTunes?

Re: Recording levels too low?

You gotta dig around in your Windows Sound Panel. http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel All the devices and destinations in your machine have two (or more) pathways. There is a pathway that goes from your sound device (microphone?) through the soun...

Re: Recording levels too low?

<<<How high is it metering in Audacity while you record?>>> It's good to know that you can launch Audacity and click once inside the red record meters and they will become active whether or not you're actually making a recording. This is terrific for testing since the meters will show you what you'r...

Re: Problem importing .WAV file

It probably wasn't a standard Microsoft Windows WAV file. That's what Audacity does when it doesn't understand what to do. 48000-16 bit or 44100-16 bit stereo Windows WAV files will slide right into Audacity. Most MP3 files will work, too, so that's another way out. The desperation method would be t...

Re: ? best notebook for portable recording w/Audacity?

Any laptop with a little glowing Apple on it except the last one. They all have excellent Line-In connections and will interface directly to most if not all field mixers including the mixers with optical digital outputs. I shot all the voice segments for a theatrical short with a quiet room, mic, mi...

Re: Subtract one track from another

A few more English words, please. All tracks are the same digital format? Uncompressed (WAV)? Both tracks are stereo? Do you know who did the mix and was it professionally mixed instead of just clicking on "Mix" in a program somewhere? If it was professionally mixed, your chances of succes...
