Audacity Forum

Thanks Gale

Wasn't intending to be a nuisance and I definitely don't want to be suggesting more work!

Audacity's brilliant; I just don't know it well enough.

Hi Steve I read that but it's based on your being inside Audacity during recording time but that's not my situation. I set up a digital recorder (an Olympus LS10) and let it run through an entire session; some 2 hours or more. I then offload the recording to my PC where I get to work on it with Auda...

Thanks again Steve I scroll through till I'm where I want to be then I use the mouse to mark the position with a thin vertical black line then I drag that line back to he beginning to highlight the section I want to export. I meant adding markers during the time the recording is being made like a fi...

Thanks Steve That's really helpful. One last question.

My Corsair headset is a USB connected device and as I said in my post, I get exactly the same outcome when using the Sennheiser headset which connects via the microphone/headphone sockets (the pink and green connectors) so I don't think it's relevant, sorry.

I am using either a Sennheiser headset that plugs in using the pink and green plugs to the soundcard or a Raptor HD40 headset which connects via a USB 2.0 port. In either case I get a low frequency hum when I record to Audacity and I get this on a Lenovo X300 laptop running Windows 7 and Audacity 2....

The clapper board is fine in instances where a) there is a clapper board operator separate from the cameraman b) there is control over the recording session such that no one cares if and when the clapper board is used and c) in the event of one person operation (opo) the recorder is mounted on a tri...
