Re: Unable to reduce input level from USB TT

A UCA202 will certainly do well. If I would have been looking at the wave form on an oscilloscope, I would have "electronics failure" as a first thought. It looks as if some opamp isn't operating in the right range, or a problem with the power supply being low. Anyhow, a UCA202 will prove that. If t...

Re: Can Audacity create its own libraries of AUs (from Logic

What you want is far from impossible.

It's only relevant to those who use a Mac AND have Logic installed.

You don't expect a lot of development effort only for Logic owners only, do you? It would be somewhat strange, because if you bought and use Logic, why would you want to use Audacity?

Re: Audacity keeps recording int. sound when using earbud-mi

AFAIK no Mac has a 4 pole jack for audio. That's strictly reserved for the iOS devices. I'm not too sure about the Power PC era, because Apple made an Apple Mac TV in those days and these are rare. There certainly are some oddities, as the external DA and speakers for the Cube, that requires a USB p...

Re: Audacity keeps recording int. sound when using earbud-mi

I'm not sure what's happening here, but here we go: Your MB Pro has probably only one 3,5 mm jack connection for headphones and mic input? In that case, you can use the port as an input OR an output. Not both at the same time. If you really want to listen to what your record with the mic, you need a...

Re: Audio Channel Manipulation

You've got 4 channels. That's all. The fifth channel will usually be derived from these four and that will feed the subwoofer.

The voice (center) channel should be empty, unless there really is a narrator or an announcer present in the recording.

Or is there something I don't understand?

Re: Amplification not saving

Make a - 40 dB 1 KHz test tone, 2 sec in Audacity. Amplify with +6 dB. Paste after original, amplify again, paste again. And so on till you reach -2 dB... That way you get a staircase file. Put into game and check if something in the game's code is affecting playback volume. As far as I know game co...

Re: How do I even out sound levels?

Multi-band compression is a must if you expect to export to mp3. Lots of the awful sounding mp3's are that bad because of some simple auto gain thing to make it louder. For some reason it's most noticeable with vbr mp3's. MP3's can sound good. But it requires a bit more work than dropping a thousand...

Have a look here:

It's not always easy and it won't work for some vocals.

Re: How to convert a set of files with audacity?

Code: Select all

apt-get install ffmpeg
should do it on Debian. Change package manager part for other distro's.
