Re: HELP audacity multiple track crackling when during playb

... maybe there is a way of prioritising it to Audacity while it's running, but I'm not sure how to do that yet. Will look into it (again any suggestions welcome). increasing Audacity's CPU priority from "normal" to "above normal" is worth a try to see if it improves matters ......

Re: HELP audacity multiple track crackling when during playb

... none of the distorted sound is happening when I listen and record just using inbuilt laptop speakers. I think that rules-out Audacity as the culprit. I have just tried earbud earphones in place of the new headphones, plugged into the phantom power supply (M-Audio Fast Track) but the same thing ...

Re: Building an optical pickup using a photodiode

I am building an optical pickup using a photodiode connected to a LM741 op-amp ... If the light you shine on it is mains-powered, and imperceptibly flickering at audio-frequency, that that could induce main-hum noise in the optical-receiver, analogous to LiFi , (such noise would only occur when the...
