Audacity Forum

I edited the file so all the peaks don't touch the top or bottom of the waveform, but still static on YouTube.

Koz, you can listen to my music at: youtube.com/erickcolletti. Use 50% speaker volume, or you'll hear a lot of static. I can't get rid of the static. I've given up. Nobody has a solution.

Tried another phone cord, downloading and uploading somebody else's audio, and a third-party music player. I'm about to bust a lamp!

English is American. You're thinking British.

Koz, where should I send a file?

The crackling/popping noise in my recordings persists in Audacity. Here's everything I've tried: - Microsoft Sound Recorder - Audacity - Cakewalk Sonar 4 LE - 44.1 and 48 kHz - Mono and stereo - Lowering microphone's volume - Plugging microphone into second USB port - Switch Sound Converter and LAME...

Koz, that's the thing...I don't know if I'm recording in the right setup. I use Microsoft Sound Recorder (PCM, 41.1 or 48 kHz, 16 bit, stereo) and a professional Samson Q1U USB Dynamic Microphone. Then I use Switch Sound Converter to convert the WAV files to 128-bitrate MP3s. My music sounds perfect...

I use one microphone to record a cappella vocals that I upload to MySpace Music and YouTube.

Should I stick to mono for such basic use? Is there a possibility that some of my listeners may hear my music from only one speaker if I record in mono?

The Help Contents has several English grammar errors. May I contribute by editing them?

My microphone is 16 bit. Should I still use 32-bit float for editing?

My computer has two speakers, but I have only one connected. Should I record in Mono or Stereo? Is it possible to record in mono and play back in stereo? If so, how?
