Audacity Forum

Interestingly (for me anyway...) I recently got my hands on a Miktek ProCast. And I'm getting the same (to my ears) background hiss as I do with the Samson G Track. Which makes me think that the hiss is being generated by: Option 1: Environment Option 2: Computer I tried the ProCast on a Windows 7 3...

For many effects the order is irrelevant, but not in all cases. The very first thing to do after making a recording is to Export a backup copy in WAV format. DC Offset removal (if required) should generally be the first effect (after making a backup) that you do http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man...

Hello - Is there a generally accepted order in which effects should be applied? For example, with a recording that is a little quiet with also a little bit of constant background noise, and in this example the solution is to use Amplify and Noise Removal... does it matter which is used first? I'm gu...

Many Mac power supplies do not have polarized wall plugs. They will plug in either direction and sometimes that can help when you have a microphone or other sound problem. Some PCs work that way, too. Koz Ah, got it, thanks. My PC power supply is like that too. Never thought about the way I plug it...

Here you go, thanks again.

It seems to me like it's absolute silence, but I could be wrong. Here's a link when the mic level is set at 0 in Windo...

What happens if you set that to zero?

I get no audio.

"Did you turn direct monitoring off in your software(sometimes this causes feedback noise)? The only thing like that in Audacity is the "Software Playthrough" setting. That is off by default, but you can check by looking near the bottom of the "Transport" menu (Not selected = Off). I doubt that is ...

I've been communicating with Samson support, to see if they had any suggestions for me. They've been asking me a lot questions about my settings and configurations, most of which I've been able to answer. But one, I don't know, and thinking someone here can probably tell me what it means. They asked...
