<<<the recorded sound level through it is very low though playback is very normal.>>> Stop trying to listen to it while you're recording. That's dangerous. If you get the red recording bouncing lights in the right place and the waveform is correct--and it plays OK, then everything is working as it s...

Yes, Save doesn't actually save anything, a confusing point we're trying to make to the Audacity programmers. The only way to do this is to pull the audio tracks from the CD and put them in a folder on the local drive. Then use them in a project. Audacity will stick pointing to them instead of the r...

If you put a straight 20 to 20,000 audio sweep into a speaker, it will blow the tweeters into charred fragments. I just hate it when that happens. One of these days, I gotta straighten all that web site stuff out...

Don't for a minute think equipment under a couple of thousand dollars will record both sides of the conversation very well. They won't. With this cheap stuff, you may still find that your local breathing, microphone, ...

What's that track on the bottom with the red line and arrow?

Not being willing to let sleeping dogs lie, did you notice that the tone sounds different after the MP3? Then if you remount the show in Audacity, it doesn't look the same, either? You may have unintentionally walked into heavy audio technology. MPEG1 Layer 3 works by messing with the energy that le...

<<<There's all this run-around "try this" and "maybe that.">>> Yes, but we can't say, "Mine is working just fine so you must be stupid." That's neither helpful or constructive. The best we can do is reverse the problem and try to think of things to change that will eith...
