Audacity Forum

The Polycom range is very popular in business: http://www.polycom.com/voice-conferencing-solutions/conference-phones.html#phone-finder They used to have an expert hotline. It can be worth your while to call them to ask about features. You also need a quiet room and this setup isn't usually what coul...

Another good one is the Focusrite 2i2, just a wee bit more (20 $), but also more recent design:

Just a few musings... :roll: There is something odd in the way Audacity selects channels. I can't put my finger on it, but I have a feeling it has to do with numbering. Most people number 1, 2, 3... Most programmers number 0, 1, 2... In interface land, the better ones have stereo channels numbered 1...

All of this above is purely anecdotal, of course. The fact is that today's malware isn't your friendly script kiddy prank anymore.

The biggest disadvanta...

El Capitan is a problem... There have been some security fixes to Core audio and there definitely is a bug in it somewhere. It doesn't happen for everyone, so it is a complex bugger to find. What interface are you using? Or are you using the built-in line-in or mic? There are a number of fixes, star...

I have some raw audio files which I load as Unsigned 8-bit PCM, Little Endian, Mono, at 29000 Hz. Why 29 KHz? The sample you posted, is 16 bit signed, according to MediaInfo. I'm just trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish. Some, even most audio interfaces don't playback 29 KHz at al...

But first we would have to be clear what we want I think that the first and most important thing that we need is a more sensible default save/export directory. Personally I would class it as a "bug" that the default is a non-writable location. I don't think that it should be too dificult ...
