Re: Audio file suddenly sounds like I got a squeaky toy...

I'm still suspecting the gear used... Don't take this as advice to run out and buy something else. A few years ago, I was called in by a mastering engineer. He had a faint whistle in his studio chain. I'm used to not hearing it on the first session. So I start checking the gear and can't find anythi...

Re: Importing & Exporting Labels with Mac OS

I wouldn't be caught stating that it's easy, as Apple is very slowly moving away from Applescript. In Snow Leopard era, almost all major apps were scriptable. These days, I'm amazed if it turns out that fi Skype is scriptable. Makes it easy to call someone from your own database in fi Filemaker, or ...

Re: Importing & Exporting Labels with Mac OS

There is. It's called "Automator". It can record macro's and run Applescripts. Works with every program that's scriptable. But Audacity isn't scriptable, so it'll depend on what you're trying to do. You can see if a program is scriptable by opening Applescript editor and opening the program's librar...

Re: extreme feedback

It works well with "nice" devices. Like USB audio class compliant devices. Notorious exceptions: - some Tascam interfaces (Tascam doesn't support aggregating at all, but some of their interfaces work) - a few older M-audio interfaces (crappy USB chips) - some identical devices (maybe cause Core audi...

Re: Audio file suddenly sounds like I got a squeaky toy...

I never had this issue during previous recordings. It gets worse while you're editing? I *thought* it did, but I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I think I just didn't notice it until edits, when I was listening to things really closely. I'm now 95% sure it's me. If I wear headphones and listen to it liv...

Re: Phnx MT202pcs Speaker Phone gives Error in playback & re

How did you uninstall logmein? It seems stealing audio is a long standing issue with this program that still isn't fixed in the latest version: https://community.logmein.com/t5/Pro/Disable-Remote-Sound/td-p/113013 https://community.logmein.com/t5/Pro/Disable-Sound-Streaming/td-p/33175 It's possible ...

Re: Importing & Exporting Labels with Mac OS

I think all you need is a text editor... One that can produce text, like TexWrangler or one of the many others. Even OSX' included Text editor isn't a text editor. If you paste stylized text from other sources, some alien characters will always show up and mess with things. The solution you have now...

Re: extreme feedback

You're making it awfully hard on yourself, trying to combine 2 USB mics. Something like a Behringer UMC202HD and 2 Behringer B5's is about the same price. And you have the choice between cardio or omni capsules for the mics. You can also attach a small mixer, if ever needed. Omni capsules are worth ...

Re: Phnx MT202pcs Speaker Phone gives Error in playback & re

I noticed you have the "LogMeIn" VPN client. The Sphnx is a conferencing device. Maybe LogMeIn is stealing its audio output from Audacity?

Is there a setting in LogMeIn to disable audio? If so, have you tried disabling that?

Re: Has anyone used the Steinberg UR22 usb interface for ACX

The headphones are always a mono mix. It's like that with most 2 I/O interfaces. Zero latency monitoring is a mono mix. Otherwise you'd get guitar in one ear and the vocal in the other ear. Or one channel only if you're just recording vocals. I guess adding a mono/stereo switch is deemed too compli...
