Re: Exporting true stereo file

Here's a typical scenario of being blind to the obvious. I created the 2 single recordings, made a stereo track - saved as mp3. Audacity played and separated great. I afterwards tried playing it in my default audio player VLC. I've recreated your test - on a Mac - doesn't happen. Do you have the la...

Re: Backup to Pamela

That sounds easy enough, but it is very hard, especially on Windows. Programs aren't supposed to share an audio stream between them. Two programs cannot both control the stream, so one should be a passive "listener". I'm wondering if audio routers like Jack could solve this. But I don't th...

Re: Allen & Heath Xone 42 not recording

I'm not familiar with Windows, but I've seen a couple of A&H mixers. I seem te recall the Windows drivers are ASIO and Audacity doesn't do ASIO.

So I'm wondering if these work with MME, or WASAPI, at all.

Re: how to make your voice as calming and soothing

I don't think there is such an effect. Are you trying to produce something for hypnosis?

Re: Exporting true stereo file

That was with Audacity 2.1.2 on Mavericks...

Haven't touched the alpha build yet. And I ended up with two tracks, as intended, to go to a stereo track.

Re: Exporting true stereo file

Thanks, Steve. That solves the question with the noise. I could find a procedure to loose one channel: - Create new project, add mono track. - import audio (I used a bird recording) - add another mono track - paste another mono audio, copied from another project (I used a guitar recording) The first...

Re: Exporting true stereo file

And there's no spectrogram because it's over 8.000 Hz. Over a 100 kHz. But I can't set spectrogram prefs any higher. Of course, it doesn't matter for audio, but it does for measurements.

Any way to turn off dithering?

Re: Interface

That dark look comes from the studio environment. Usually, recording rooms and control rooms have very dimmed lighting and the people working in there don't like their computer screens to stand out as a light source. Personally, I don't care, as the two tools I use for recording, both are bright, bu...

Re: Exporting true stereo file

Since I did that over ten years ago, I decided do try it again. MP3 encoders have evolved, yes? This what I did: - Make a mono track, white noise, 30 sec - Add a second, empty mono track - Pan one left, one right - Export to stereo wav, 16 bit, 48 kHz - Import the result to view and play http://3rio...
