Audacity Forum

Sometimes the act of posting a question will change your mindset just enough to see solutions invisible while you were obsessing about the problem.

Oh. I think it's still sticky tape and paper clips experimental. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=99704 How close are you to the microphone? Can you turn away or look down and then gasp? I think there's room here for a cough button. On-air broadcasters frequently have a cough a...

Good thing you're not reading for audiobooks. The process is longer. Those people have very strict technical quality standards. No, you're doing what the rest of us are doing. Somebody put together a de-breathalizer. tool. I'll see if I can find it. No doubt you figured out already to re-read a whol...

I'm pretty sure you're in the wrong place. Go (top of the desktop) > Go to Folder. Screen%20Shot%202018-04-27%20at%2013.54.55.png There are two Libraries. The system one and your personal one. I think you're in the wrong one. Don't leave out the squiggly line at the beginning of the address. ~/Libra...

Windows 10 is not an update. It's a whole new Operating System and your hardware and system drivers have to be written for it. If you install something, it has to explicitly say "OK for Windows 10." Just "OK for Windows" isn't enough. Sometimes you can get away with it, but somet...

I wanted to trim one of my MP3s. "My MP3s?" Stereo? Where did the original come from? If you have phase differences between Right and Left in the original; and Audacity was set to play back stereo; and VLC was trying to mix down to mono, you can have profound differences between the two e...

If you want to record one microphone, distributed across both left and right, use input 1 of the Scarlett 2i4 and set Audacity to record "1 channel (mono)". I'm pretty sure that gives the 50% clipping problem. Audacity thinks it's trying to mix stereo down to mono. The Scarlett doesn't pr...

In post production, it's Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo down to Mono. Then, if you're sure the performers are going to be split left and right, Effect > Amplify: Amplification: 6dB > Enter. USB interfaces are not mixers and you can't arbitrarily assign or fade microphones. You can buy a mixer with USB in...

So did a full uninstall and re-install of audacity.

In Windows, there is a check to reset all preferences and settings. Did you check that box? If you didn't Audacity will have hung on to all your old settings.

I'll see what I can do to address y'all's problems.

Audacity doesn't do anything in real time except some timing functions. It's a post production editor. So this isn't going to be a good fit.

Maybe someone else will post with other program ideas.
