Re: Accessing Manual from Audacity Help

Wasn't there a problem some time back if your computer had Copy to , Move to installed? That has got to be several years ago. If that is the case, I cannot believe it has not been addressed. I have the same problem and I have those two features installed. I have a version on another computer that is...

Re: Improving audio

Pretty much standard practice for me to take batteries out of anything not used on a regular basis. Thanks for all of your help.

Re: Improving audio

I thank you greatly for all of your information. I have a J300 Pearlcorder. Looking in the paper that came with the recorder, I should have purchased an ME15 mic. I now don't plan on purchasing any mics, just use the techniques you suggested. From what you are telling me, I think I will pass on buyi...

Re: Improving audio

Well you have told me what Olympus could not. That I bought the wrong mic. I had been email their tech department about my mic issue and they could not figure it out except the mic was bad and it was out of warranty. Thanks much! I thought I needed an external mic because my volume on the tape was n...

Re: Improving audio

Sorry, I got us off track. I know I have a less than desireable recording. I want to try and make it the best it can be. I think many good suggestions have been made and I will try them. Thank you also for the info on the mic. I need to purchase another one and hesitate trying another ME12.

Re: Improving audio

I experimented today. I connected my PC mic and it seemed to record great. My ME12 mic mounts right on the recorder. I tried it and with it almost against my mouth I could very faintly hear my voice on playback. What mic are you showing in the photos?

Pearlcorder? I am just now retiring mine. There's no magic. You hit the steps we would use. Audacity 2.1.0 and on are much better at tape hiss than the earlier versions (post the numbers when you tell us about your system). external program to even out the low and high voices. Which is? Amplify and...

Improving audio

I am running the latest Audacity version on XP. I have several mini cassette tapes that I made years ago and I have loaded then onto my computer using Audacity. Now I am trying to make improvements in the recordings. The tape has the normal tape background noise, low volume in general and some voice...

Recommended file type for CD

I am taking music from cassette tapes to eventually burn on a CD. I have used the recommended WAV format only to find it produces a huge file. With that format I won't be putting many songs on a CD. I would like recommendations from ones who have tried doing what I am for formats they have found acc...

Re: Cannot access manuals via Help on XP[SOLVED-COPY/MOVE TO

OK, I disabled the Copy to, Move to options on the PRO computer and now the manual access works as it should. That computer actually had a different version of the Copy to, Move to feature. It was actually on the menu and when you right-clicked it, the drop down window had Option, which when you sel...
