Audacity Forum

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I'll provide a bit more detail- I record on my desktop PC (not a laptop), using a reasonably basic setup, but one that should to the job. I've recorded with both a Line 6 Pocket Pod, plugged into the input of my sound card, and a Line 6 UX1, which uses a USB connection. T...

Can I ask two further questions based on what Steve has just said- First, if the overall track volume is near 0DB, but not quite there, might it cause mild distortion when the volume bars get nearest 0? It's not clipping...quite... Second, does exporting a project to MP3 or WAV or whatever, without ...

Hello, I've recorded some demos, I suppose, of songs I've written. So I've used synth drums, and then recorded all the other tracks myself (multiple guitar tracks, bass, and vocals). Most playback really clearly (as well as I'd hope) after exporting to MP3 or WAV. Some, particularly tracks with acou...

Nice one. I've exported some of the tracks (just to see how they sound), and I've noticed the track clipping as a buzzing or 'roaring' sound (particularly on headphones) so I'll sort that out in the finished mix thanks to your advice. The people I've played the tracks to thus far have commented how ...

I'm using 1.3 at the moment. Do you mean that even if the individual tracks aren't clipping, they can clip once you play them together? If so, I think I've noticed this and I'll take your advice to rectify it. Vocals are the thing I have the biggest problem recording without clipping. I don't know i...

Thanks both, I've been experimenting with Audacity for a little while, actually, and I've been on this forum before looking for advice when my original method of recording proved impossible. I've gone for a better, simpler audio product for the input into Audacity, which is making recording easy and...

Ok...I'll keep looking around. I was after a quick fix, or at least some quick reference. There's often no way to cheat. I can't see my recording problems being anything like yours. I'm trying to record as simply as possible, and I'm not worried about a professional, glossy, finish, more a fully ins...

I'm currently in the process of recording all the parts for a bunch of pop/rock songs. I'm happy with my playing, and recording is going ok, but what I know nothing about is mixing and producing. Does anyone know of perhaps an 'idiot's guide' to this sort of thing? There must be fairly standard proc...

Assuming you're serious, they are so you an have your audio device in your backpack, and the headphones coming out, without having to open a zip.

Not a specific Audacity question this, but someone here will probably be able to help; Can you take outputs from 2 different audio sources and route them through 1 pair of headphones? My recording set up is a guitar into a Line6 pocket pod, from which I split the output, one to input into my soundca...
