The analyzer is biased. If it says everything is OK, then there's a good chance everything is OK. If it says something is wrong, stop using the socket for anything and call an electrician.

Will the power brick on the Audient plug in the wall upside down? Try that. You have award-winning 60Hz hum which means you have power problems in the US (or other 60Hz country). But wait! That's not all! You have two different hums in there and that's what gives you that Mum..Mum..Mum..Mum.. sound ...

There's a scary test you can do. Can you overload the sound channel—on purpose? Announce while watching the bouncing sound meters. Keep getting louder and yell if you have to until the meters go all the way up and turn bright red. If your sound meters are always blue, you may have them set wrong. Ri...

No idea why it worked You got lucky. Everybody knows a digital service is either there or it's not. There is no partial connection or other distortion or damage. But you can have a perfect digital connection that's not present all the time. That gives you things like a perfect transfer of five minu...

What's the work? You also have the Left sound louder than the Right. Did you want that? You can use the two AudioBook tools, RMS Normalize followed by Limiter. RMS Normalize has to be installed separate. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=96103 If that's an audiobook reading, yo...

How can I make sure of the BPM I don't know that there is a foolproof way to read Beats Per Minute from a sound file. The problem is not simple songs with a 4/4 thumping disco beat. The problem is fancy songs with back beats, syncopation and occasional theme and no rhythm segments. There's no relia...

When I updated to High Sierra, my SoundFlower dropped dead. So we can start there.
