Audacity Forum

I was looking for a way to synchronise the waveforms recorded from separate computers, but I've just realised that we probably don't need to. You could record two microphones as a stereo track. That could be done with a computer, two microphones and a conventional sound card / audio device. Some pr...

...That test is simple enough, but I measure 320ms. That seems to be very large. I have the compuer partitioned and most of the space is dedicated to Linux. My Windows has only 42 GB. I suspect that something is wrong on the Windows side of my partition, because the system alone is requiring 22 gig...

Try closing and restarting Audacity.

If that does not fix it, go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Tracks" and ensure that "Auto-scroll if head unpinned" is enabled.

"Help menu > Diagnostics > Audio Device Info"
Save the info and attach the file to your reply.

If I load a WAV audio file into Audacity, can I convert it into a MusicXML file? No, Audacity can't do that. Converting audio to score notation is very difficult for a computer to do. Typically this type of feature is only available in specialist (expensive) software such as Sibelius AudioScore, an...

Can someone explain the relation between the peak level, rms level, normalizing, and limiting so I can do more than stab in the dark? The "level" of an audio signal is measured relative to "full scale" (also called "0 dB"). In Audacity, "full scale" is the he...

is it possible to get a Plugin or something to use within Audacity which can handle RMS Normalizing? Yes, here: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=325078#p325078 This is a "Nyquist plug-in". Installation instructions: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_gener...

You will get better isolation if you make the filter more like this:

Now, there is a way to visualize the sound like that ?

What are you actually trying to do? What is the purpose?

So should I be entering a number in the buffer box? If it plays and records without stuttering when set to 100 ms buffer, then leave it at 100. If you have changed the buffer length, try setting it to 100, then do the "latency test" again and adjust the " latency compensation " ...

320 ms is quite high, but not unreasonably high. The amount of latency depends on many factors including: Buffer length setting (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/devices_preferences.html). By default this is 100 ms. Higher values will increase latency. If set too low there may be stuttering on re...
