Audacity Forum

Changed the bit rate from constant to variable, seems to have done the trick.

Thanks chaps.

Ok, I'll try that tonight and let you know how it goes!

Cheers.

Chaps, Thanks for the responses. I tried exporting to WAV, and as expected it sounded great. I then imported the WAV into Audacity then exported again into MP3, which saw the return of the fuzzy guitar that wasn't there on the WAV. I'd obviously like to be able to get the decent sound in an mp3, as ...

Hi all, I've had some great help of this forum in the past, and my recording skills have come on leaps and bounds as a result. I use Audacity to record my own music, playing every instrument and layering up into full 'rock band' type productions. I get a finished sound that is generally more than ad...

Well with my electric guitar plugged into the 'instrument' input, or my mic plugged into the 'mic' input, I get really good results, in terms of quality of sound and useful level. It's my electro-acoustic that I struggle to get a decent sound with, and it's the songs I've recorded with acoustic guit...

I think maybe it was just clipping. I'm just surprised I'm noticing it with only 2 instruments playing. I would have expected to distort more with several loud distorted electric guitar tracks, not with just acoustic guitar and drums. I also think that the drum output I'm getting is a bit too 'hot',...

In reply to Steve- It's as I thought, in that the tracks in the Audacity project are referenced by filepath from their location in the _data folder, so if you move it it wont be able to find the files. In this instance I had three versions of the same song saved in the same folder, two of which were...

Just re-opened an Audacity project I'd been working on, and all of the tracks now appear as flat lines- no sound at all. I had just deleted some old folders, which I had thought were nothing to do with the current project, but seem to have caused all the audio to disappear. I restored the folders an...

And in reply to DVDDoug- "This shouldn't happen when the input gets louder "naturally", but if you boost the volume of course any existing noise & distrortion gets boosted along with the signal. A louder signal usually has the opposite effect... A louder signal gives you a higher signal-to-noise rat...

" Mixes that seem to change by themselves can be caused by that Windows Conference thing. Did you go down and look for those settings?" Umm...no...that's a new one on me. Post some of the distortion. Render everything to mono and Export a segment as FLAC audio and post it here. "Upload Attachment" ...
