Audacity Forum

I just tried doing it and it I couldn't find 4 channels. See attachment That's unfortunate. The Windows device drivers are split into two stereo devices, one "device" for channels 1 and 2, and another for channels 3 and 4. Audacity is only able to record from one device at a time, so that...

Effects, equalizer show frequencies only from 0 Hz to 10 000 Hz. Over 10 000 is not visible. The Equalizer automatically adjusts according to the sample rate of the selected track(s). The maximum possible frequency in a track, is half the sample rate. If the track sample rate is 22050 Hz, then the ...

Look in the Windows Sounds Control Panel, and in the recording tab, open the "Properties" for the UMC404HD.
Can you set the device properties to "4 channels"?

Anyway it is still not working on Mac.

We can't see your computer, so you need to be much more descriptive if you need help.

and simply transfer the tape's content to an MP3 computer file.

How do those two statements fit together? If you bypass Audacity, how do you intend to "transfer" the tape's content to an MP3 computer file?

I was wondering if there was some way I could somehow "extract" the singer from the orchestra. It's one track

If it's a stereo track, you could try the techniques suggested here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tut ... ation.html

The AUD-DO commands don't take commas between arguments. Also, I'd suggest making this a "tool" type effect (in the Tools menu) as Nyquist is not processing the selected audio. Try this: ;nyquist plug-in ;version 4 ;type tool ;name "NewTrack" (cond ((= (get '*project* 'tracks) 1)...

Try the other two "host" options in the device toolbar (Direct Sound and WASAPI) and see if either of those offer more than 2 channels.

The log doesn't tell us anything useful (other than the Audacity version number).

What's happening now? Do you still have a problem?

In that case I'd suggest that you continue as before, and type the name as required. It's highly unlikely that any developer will be interested in creating a feature so specialised for just one user.
