Re: Audacity 2.2.2 won't pick up my headset mic via 3.5mm jack.

When I have my headset plugged into my Windows 10 laptop's headphone jack, Audacity recognizes the headphones and plays sound through them, but it won't pick up the attached microphone and take sound from it. The microphone isn't in the devices menu at the top, and it's not within the Preferences >...

Re: Fix an improper instrument and vocal mix

... What bass settings did you use ... Boosted everything below 350Hz, only the piano lives there. Boosting the bass does make it a bit muddy, but it does make the piano louder without affecting the voice. Compression raises the volume of all the piano frequencies, not just the bass. ...

Re: Recording digital piano

I have an AKAI LPK25 and haven't been able to use it for anything. If you turn off Playthrough, doesn't the computer record the room? So you would not be getting a pure signal, but the noise of the machine and surrounding environment. If the sound of the AKAI LPK25 comes out of the computer speaker...

Re: Recording my voice and compare to the original

You can choose not to have the metadata dialog appear when saving (exporting),
see ... https : //manual.audacityteam.org/man/import_export_preferences.html
