What does your built-in microphone say?

I did see an H4 recorder on Ebay for about $100 so that might work. I think I would just pay attention to the computer recording for a while. If you had page after page of problems with no end in sight, then maybe start looking for another way to record. There is one other thing that stand-alone re...

Not in a "Push this button" sense. You could get an error like that if Windows is set up wrong. If you're not set up to record the H5 but instead one of the Windows settings that allow you to record YouTube music, then when you pressed record, the backing track would smash into itself, may...

I will check out the Zoom H4 recorder. That one's no longer made. They have an H4n now. The original was a good basic recorder. The marketing people got a hold of it and now they advertise " 37 Microphones!! Super Stereo Modes!! Cures Cancer!! " Nowhere does it say the new one sounds bett...

this morning's clip the RMS was -60.9 That's no sound or only the background sound. -25.3. That's too far off. I'm betting you're recording the laptop built-in microphones now, not the Yeti. What does it say in the little box next to the microphone symbol up in the Audacity toolbars? Screen Shot 20...

Yes, I have aluminum foil ??? You only needed that if the other radio station tests failed. A shorter USB cable was on the list further down. It says that RMS is too low. The limits are -18dB to -23dB. Did you miss it by much? -24dB?? If not and you didn't change anything (the cable should not affe...

If it's stereo, use the drop-down menu to the left of the track > Split stereo to Mono. [X] delete one of the two tracks. Use the Project Sample Rate lower left Audacity Window and reduce the sample rate until you get what you want. File > Export > Export WAV At 8000, the sound is a little better th...

It sucks to leave your email on the forum. We get a lot of ads and other spam and your email would just fall over. Did you have an edit crash? Project recovery only works with the first recording session. Editing your show scrambles the files so you need the AUP file to bring it all back. Describe w...

Britney Spears, unless I miss my guess. Was that on battery power with no connection to the wall? Is the laptop on WiFi for the internet connection, or do you have a network wire? Screen Shot 2018-04-14 at 21.26.54.png OK, so now it's a decision tree. We can continue to troubleshoot. There are somet...

OK, this is too good. I can't quite make out the words, but I suspect anybody who likes rap music would be able to pick it out in an instant. All I did was make your room tone segment crazy loud. "something something Call me on the Tele Phone." So we're not joking about the candy-cane stri...
