I'm convinced there is no way to hear only the actual recording like you would as it comes off a recording head for example. Sure, but you can't do it through the computer. Plug the headphones into your recording device that has Zero Latency Monitoring and the ability to mix computer playback with ...

Since you're this close, you should start to worry about Computer Hygiene. Export each chapter raw reading as a WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit sound file and copy it somewhere safe. This against the time the laptop fails during an edit and takes the track with it into the bin. You should never be in a posit...

There's been a little bell ringing since I heard your test. You're a professional presenter, right, and you decided to record either your own paper book as an audiobook, or record other people's books unencumbered by the studio system.

Did I hit it?

"Glazing." That would be "glass," right? I am concerned about this being the most quiet time for recording. Not that it didn't work. It worked fabulously, but if it turns out this is the only time you will be able to work..... Microphone system hiss (fffffffff) was the reason I u...

Skip the DeEsser at -30dB. That makes you sound like a cartoon character. I got reasonable results on your sample at -20dB which I believe is the default.

I personally would not put punctuation marks in filenames. Upper case, lower case, numbers, -dash- and _underscore_ are the only universally acceptable characters. Otherwise, you could submit paid work to someone running an older Windows machine and have some entertaining emails as to why they can't...

I need to hit and run. Blitz-Posting. Koz, is the complete instructions on one webpage — no guidebook .pdf to download? It's not even a web page. It's a forum post. Posting it to the Audacity wiki manual is on my 2-Do list. There is one up-side to the post. It's a snap to post corrections—not that i...

Pieces of that are wrong, but I can't stick with this right now. Sometimes the Low Rolloff for Speech is needed to correct noise problems inside microphones and interfaces and has nothing to do with your voice. We called it that because that's roughly what Hollywood and the studios call it and the m...

Can anyone just tell me how to control where sound gets recorded from & recorded to?

No problem. What's the goal?

Like this: "I want to record YouTube music for my party."

I think what you have is normal. To get the interface to do something on every computer, it naturally divides the channels up into groups of 2 (stereo). The computer sees the first mounted stereo pair and runs with it. We published a listing of working multi-channel devices and notes. https://forum....
