Re: Distortet thin low sound when recording

Shouldn't it turn off when switched to "line" When set to "Line", the Behringer is expecting a relatively high signal level. When set to "Phono", the Behringer is expecting a much lower signal level with very little bass. On this setting, the Behringer's "phono pr...

Re: Distortet thin low sound when recording

If you change the switch position to "Line", does the recorded sound become even quieter and thinner, or does it make no difference? If it makes no difference, then the switch may be faulty or have dirty contacts, in which case spraying out the switch with switch cleaner may fix it. (Be ca...

Re: Why are spectrograms so inexact?

Since a pure sine wave contains only one frequency, A "continuous" sine wave contains only one frequency. An instantaneous transition from silence to a sine wave (or any instantaneous transition) contains all frequencies from DC up to the Nyquist frequencies, but only for a very short tim...

Re: Distortet thin low sound when recording

Check if your record deck requires "Line" or "Phono" setting on the UFO-202, and check that the UFO-202 is set accordingly (the switch on the side).

Re: Confused RMS-normalizer

Don't get too hung up on the numbers. If the recording "sounds" clean and professional, then I doubt anyone will be concerned by 0.2 dB. On the other hand, if (for example) there's an annoying whistle, then it will be rejected by ACX even if it is within the specification. The peak level i...

Re: Confused RMS-normalizer

Did you use a rumble filter of some sort prior to normalizing? If not, I'd suggest that you do that. Unless you have a very deep voice, the "Low roll-off for speech" preset in the Equalization effect is a good choice. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/equalization.html If you have a very...

Re: Audacity 2.0.6 under Debian Jessie

Ensure that the USB device is connected before you launch Audacity. You should then see a USB option in the "Device toolbar" above the tracks panel.

You should consider upgrading your operating system soon as Jessie is approaching it's end of life.

Re: Confused RMS-normalizer

Or is there a magic formula. Not exactly a magic formula, but there is an approach which is usually painless ;) After you have done all processing and editing: Apply "RMS-Normalize" and normalize to the mid-point of the desired range (I don't recall exactly what that is off the top of my ...

Re: Confused RMS-normalizer

If you have already installed the plug-in, and have just upgrade Audacity, then the plug-in should still be installed and you will just need to enable it in the "Plug-in Manager" (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/manage_effects_generators_and_analyzers.html). If the plug-in cannot be en...
