Audacity Forum

One of the difficulties for us is that we don't know what it sounded like before the problem. In isolation (with nothing to compare with) the recording does not sound bad at all (I've heard very much worse :D). For you it is different because you are comparing with how it sounded before, how you wa...

It's hard to tell by looking at the waveforms... I think the time-scale is different and it makes it look like there is no sustain on bad/distorted waveform. Now this might not have anything to do with Audacity itself, It shouldn't... Once the signal is digitized by your t.bone gizmo, Audicaty is e...

Are you located in a country that has 50 Hz mains electricity? If so then you may be either picking up interferenc...

Cool! Here are some short samples. As you can hear, it doesn't actually sound that bad but before a couple of months ago I used to get WAY cleaner signals from my guitars, which in turn would result in way better distorted guitar tracks that I could turn up very high without hurting my ears, it didn...
