Re: Recording interrupts although sound activated recording is switched off

when no input is available as it is digital information, even 0000000 is missing, then. Yes, that's it, but we can probably trick the system. More about this in my next post (I don't usually use Windows, so I'll need to look for where the settings are located). deviceinfo.txt Wow, that really is a ...

Re: Recording interrupts although sound activated recording is switched off

However, can you tell me, what the choice of the input device has to do with this automatic interruption of the recording? WASAPI loopback is "special". You could think of it like a pipe from the audio output to the audio input. Audacity records the sound that comes out of the pipe, but i...

Re: Recording interrupts although sound activated recording is switched off

What are you trying to record?
If you're trying to record audio playing on the computer, try using "Stereo Mix" rather than "WASAPI loopback" (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tut ... ndows.html)

Re: split track into clips and label from soft to loud?

You could write a Nyquist Macro to measure the peak levels and name / label them according to the measured peak level. However, it's probably more work to write the macro than it is to sort or label the sounds manually.

Re: Timer recording works well but...

"Timer Record" is intended for unattended recording. If you are present during the recording, there is no need to use Timer Record, just use the ordinary record function.

Re: Macro Feature Requests..

A tip for "advanced" users of Macros: You can edit the macro directly in a plain text editor. When you create a macro, Audacity creates a text file in its "Macros" folder (see: [urlhttps://manual.audacityteam.org/man/manage_macros.html#Sharing_a_Macro]Sharing a Macro[/url]). For ...

Re: Recording vocals over a music track

I'm guessing that this is on a school computer, and that Audacity has recently been updated.
In current versions of Audacity, to record to a new track, hold down the Shift key while you click the record button (or "Shift + R").

Re: Noisy Room - Theoretical Question

Let's say that in the noisy room, you set the recording level such that: Case 1: Peak level of your voice = -6 dB Peak level of noise = -46 dB If you then amplify the track so that the peak level of the voice is -3 dB (ACX specified level), then you have amplified the track by +3 dB ( -6 +3 = -3) Be...
