Audacity Forum

just plugging in the phones turns off all that annoying Zoom "simplex" stuff? There's a trick to it. You wear headphones so your voice sounds good to everybody else . Zoom doesn't have to subtract their voice from your room on your outbound voice. That's why the Zoom Manager has to insist...

There were notes a while back about how deformed an MP3 had to be before Audacity would reject it. MP3's full family name is MPEG-1, Layer 3. It's the sound channel to a video format. Until recently, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft would collect royalties from any one creating an MP3 sound file. That's why ...

I am unsure how to proceed.

Wait.

It's mid morning Britain and that's where most of the program daddies live.

We should also remember this is a forum. Users helping each other. Not a help desk.

There's another item in the checklist. MediaInfo On-Line. It will rip your sound file apart and tell you everything ab...

Because Audacity doesn't do anything to the show during recording. No effects, filters, modifications, or corrections. Whatever arrives to be recorded gets recorded. Audacity does get its sound from Windows, not whatever device or interface you're using. So sometimes Windows can cause problems and i...

Does Audacity still default to Preferences > Recording > Overdub [X] On ? Doesn't that mean both the recording and the playback services have to be in perfect working order? Does the Audacity program reinstall still default to saving old preferences and settings? What does that screen look like wher...

we did it over Zoom and my interviewees (a couple) had their own Zoom H4N ... so I had them record their end, I recorded at my end, and the Zoom ... recording was just a last-ditch backup that I never had to use. Ding! You're getting the hang of this. Did you develop a semi-silly way of generating ...
