Audacity Forum

There are two Record keys. Regular "R" key and "Shift+R." One starts a new track and the other adds your voice to the old track.

You can change what the keys do in Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Record On A New Track.

I am the one making too loud s noises?

If I was really doing my job, I would make a special polyester/wool blend sock that fits over your microphone to prevent Essing right at the beginning.

Do you hear the noise now? No. The background noise is perfect and the file, just as you posted it and after mastering, passes ACX Check easily. No noise reduction needed. You got lucky. Many home readers search for weeks (like me) to find their room noises. Both of your posts have been in stereo, ...

How about DC Offset in one channel of the mixer driving the UCA222 nuthouse? This will show up instantly when the poster reverses Left and Right inputs on the Behringer.

Koz

It looks like a profoundly unstable right channel. If someone paid you to make a normal consumer digital system do that, what would you do?

On the other hand, it only happens with specific mixer settings.

I can feel...pressing fingers to forehead...two different problems.

Another test variation: temporarily reverse the left and right RCAs at the UCA 222.

Just post the WAV test sound file. We can make graphics from that.
