Perhaps I'll check out the Pro8HEx.
Oops... Amazon reviews suggest the Pro8HEx is not good for singing. :(

Re: Loud pops between songs

So, it seems to me that SoundJuicer produces FLAC files that are somehow different from the FLAC files produced by Audacity. And somehow when I let RhythmBox play all these files in shuffle mode (or even entire albums sequentially), there are loud clicks/pops when changing between files generated f...

Re: USB mic and headphones not detected

I poked around in my Security and Sound settings, but nothing about my mic came up. My laptop doesn't seem to recognize that it's been plugged in. i believe Blue has had some compatibility issues with Mac in the past, but I didn't know about that when I got this mic. I've also emailed their support...

Re: Microhpone advice needed: Blue/Yeti vs Rode NT-USB

I don't have a recommendation but here are some "professional headset mics". (They tend to be expensive.) Thanks. Now you see my dilemma. All but one or two of those mics have proprietary connectors and/or are intended for wireless operation. Perhaps I'll check out the Pro8HEx. I'd still ...

But that's not how I did it.

I shot my fake podcast with a head-mounted microphone similar to this.
Koz, I am looking for "a head-mounted microphone" similar to this. I have a wireless unit, but I am looking to also get a wired mic. May I ask which one do you use ?

Re: Should I turn Norton Virus protection off?

When I "saved as" my data files to desktop, it deleted everything when I tried to move the files back to my audacity folder. It may be useful to know that when you do a "Save Project" or "Save Project As" Audacity saves your work in multiple .au files under a project_d...

Re: Error 9999, can't record 2nd tracks

I've started recording on Audacity with Behringer UM2 interface. I previously used the ASIO driver and encountered some issues, and I'm now using a Behringer driver I found through a Youtube video. When I try to record a second track I receive the error -9999 message, and the only way I fix this is...

Re: Envelop to control other effects

For years I've been wondering if this is possible, but wonderment has turned into an actual technique that I want to apply. Is it possible to apply an effect according to an envelope over time? Like, "Apply Reverb in a ramp from 0 to 100 over 60 seconds"? I once heard someone nearby say y...

Re: Record mode not working

I have been using Audacity 2.4.2 with Big Sur 11.1 on my MacBook Pro for weeks successfully to digitally record old vinyls into my Library. Two days ago that suddenly changed. I don't know whether I accidentally touched something that caused it, but I can't see anything wrong in Audacity or Mac set...

Re: 2.4.2 on Catalina 10.15.7: no sound on recording

Hello, I have been trying everything I've found around to make run Audacity 2.4.2 under Catalina 10.15.7 but seems to be no way to make it record or play back any sound. I need to use it to play back my audio files, and nothing is working; and if possible to make the microphone run too. Also, make ...
