Audacity Forum

How are you listening to Audacity? Ok...not sure what you mean. I'm playing back the recording, listening thru headphones. How are you listening to the WAV files? Do you mean the exports? mp3s and WAVs? I'm listening to those over iTunes. I'll say this. I just tried listening to the same one on Quic...

My recording sounds worse than yours does on out of phase. I am running my voice through a mixer board that is using concert hall effects. It sounds good on the Audacity recording. However, when I export it to mp3, etc., it sounds tinny or shallow. Do you think it might be my usage of mixer board ef...

Ok....tried that. Sounds better, but still not as good as the original Audacity recording. The fidelity, deepness, fullness... Sounds a little like a transistor radio. For years I used a recording program, Wiretap Pro, and then Wiretap Studio. It worked great, and Studio was lossless. The recording ...

I'm exporting songs that I sing, to accompaniment on a second stereo track. I compose on Sibelius and upload it to Audacity. I get the finished Audacity product, sounding great, and then export it to mp3 and to wav. The quality diminishes quite a bit. I sound like the guy singing "Winchester Cathedr...

I am recording my vocal to Audacity, accompanied on a separate track by music I composed on Sibelius. Went to Effects, Noise Reduction to get rid of a small amount of noise on the vocal track, and the final recording sounds great. Then I export it as an mp3 and play the mp3 in iTunes. Now there's a ...

Wow, this is all new to me. Thank you for your thought and patience, and your explanation. I'm printing it, so that I can read it several times while recording. Going to go in there right now and monkey with it, with this in mind.

GLORY! This morning I finally figured it out, tho I'm still not sure why it works. The little mixer won't work. I resorted to my dreaded larger Behringer mixer, and have been fiddling and toggling switches all morning. Finally it came down to the channel 7 / 8 that the accompaniment is fed into. Nex...

Thank you for the thought you have put into this! I'm getting ready to monkey with it, as you suggested. Yeah, I bought the Behringer not knowing very much. Had a high school reunion where a folk group I was in sang, and used it for that. Haven't used it since, and I'd about decided to sell it. It's...

And yes, the mixer does have a button EXT/USB to MAIN.

Thanks for the encouraging word. But right now I feel pretty dense. The answer is right in front of me. I just can't find it. The board is a small one, an Alexis Multimix 4 USBFX. I have a larger one--a Behringer XenyxQX1832USB, but it is way too much mixer for me. However, if it would work for this...
