Re: Play Cut Preview no longer working

This bug won't be fixed by re-installing. You can "enable" the cut preview by pressing record, stop and undo (the recording). The cut preview will now work during this session. There are also some new preview shortcuts available that will work always. - Shift+F5: before left edge - Shift+F6: after l...

Re: Compiling Audacity code from GitHub

ASIO support shouldn't make any problem.

Re: removing a song or musical instrument from a piece of mu

Hi Thanks for the reply people. I was impatient and downloaded Audacity. The program is quite easy to use. Mostly self explanatory. When I used " vocal removal" in a WAF mode song the result was not as good as when I redid the same song and used the " vocal reduction and Isolation" which retained m...

Re: Moving tracks up/down - specifying how far

With 30 tracks, it's still pretty slow to move it up 10 slots, one at at time. It's pretty quick if you use the keyboard shortcuts: Menu key to open the dropdown menu for the current track, then "U" or "D" for Up/Down. In addition, the new version allows to assign direct shortcuts, thus, you can mo...

Re: Normalizing volume across files

OK I believe I remember Koz saying somewhere (in a different thread) that it's good to hover around -6dB, in terms of average volume (I'm sure that's the wrong technical term, but I think you know what I mean - the little needle should wiggle around the 6 most of the time). When I normalize peaks t...

Re: Slim down the Click Track interface

The problem with missing out the word "default" is that when tuned up or down by a semitone or more, then the pitch is no longer what it says. How about for the click sound section we have these controls: Accent strong beat (0 - 100): It seems to me more sensible to define the weak click as a perce...

Re: Slim down the Click Track interface

I wouldn't say that our click track interface is the most complicated one. See e.g. http://openmetronome.sourceforge.net/ Which has about 33 controls. However, I like it a lot and use it for complicated rhythms and with my own sounds. The concept is of course totally different. First, you attach num...

Re: recording guitar on a laptop

You got MIDAS preamps in your unit. I got the older XENYX preamps. The UM2 is the only unit in the product line with older preamps. There's also no shortage of troubles with these units. Behringer has offered software patches and adjustments some of which are not available on Mac. An unpatched unit...

Re: recording guitar on a laptop

I've purchased a Behringer u-phoria recently (UMC204D) and it works great - no cheapness about it, phantastic preamps.
We'll see how long the knobs turn smoothly.
