Audacity Forum

Very well, lets start with changing the playback device in Audacity. I have a choice between Sigma Tel Audio or Windows sound Mapper. I'll reimport the music files and play them with the new playback device and report. Possibly we do have a Tascam problem, in which case (do you have any friends at t...

Yes, but what output device is selected in Device Toolbar - is it the Tascam or built-in audio. Whichever it is, have you always used that output device? The Tascam has always been the output device of choice. What blocksize are you running at now? If you run at 4255600 then at 16-bit quality 44100...

Ok, I imported 13 minutes of pre recorded music from my library.
Between 0 and 30 seconds in I noticed 3 unrepeatable glitches, all was fine until the last 40 seconds when I noticed 2 more.

And, not to Gale. I did change the block sizes as instructed.

Given that the monitoring and MP3 were glitch-free but playing back from within Audacity exhibited non-repeatable glitches I am going to flip-flop and say that it may not be a hardware issue. Can you rip a few CD tracks, import them into Audacity, paste them together so you have at least 10 mins of...

Today's test was done with more care. Both mic and speaker were shielded with pillows first to muffle the sound so my neighbors don't put a gun to my head, and to be sure that nothing was disturbed during the recording session. Results 5 minutes of tone recorded, no audible 'bumps or glitches' encou...

I was sitting here reading one of Gale's posts when the earthquake hit. NYC skated on the hurricane but there are places in New Jersey and Vermont that are still under water. Intel Pentium D 2.66Ghz I'm not quite sure where to find info on the number of cores and FSB. Oh and by the way you never sen...

You're certainly not a PITA

The log I sent was the log that was saved before I exited Audacity. The dropouts occurred ramdomly and I was not able to repeat them by replaying that portion of the session. The project was never exported, strictly saved to my desktop.

A tone test is being uploaded to You Send it as we speak. The test was done using a 1000hz tone generator, fed through a Fostex speaker into an AT4040 mic and through the US122 converter. Here is the link. I noticed numerous non-repeatable playback dropouts during the session. https://www.yousendit....

My apologies......1.3. 8 started this whole thing. I was referring to 1.2 when I said that I experienced no glitches.
Yes Gale.......the last glitch I sent to you was encountered with 1.3.14

Hi Gale 1.3.8 has never given me a problem and the only reason I upgraded was for some of the changes regarding setup of the desktop. I have the word out to my colleagues at NBC but they, as well as the rest of us New Yorkers are about to get slammed by Irene. That being said, I can hopefully rig up...
