Audacity Forum

Check in the Windows Sound Control Panel that the USB device is set to record 2 channel (stereo).

However, it would still be nice to have a Preferences... If you can show me an implementation of your proposed u-Law dither that works, then I'll suggest it to the developers. I don't know what causes the weird effect that two noises may suddenly seem similar volume when increased in volume by the ...

OK, try this version:

You agree that the linear amplitude difference between adjacent sample values for high level samples in u-Law format is around 0.03125 ? Shaped dither randomises sample values by up to +/- 4 bits (for 16-bit linear PCM, that gives a peak level of around -72 dB). So, for shaped dither where the linea...

Yes, less audible when the peak level of the noise is below about -70 dB.

1) Create a new folder somewhere convenient (for example, on the Desktop), and name it "myproject" (without quotes). 2) Copy the folder "A Man (Travis Scott x Lil Pump x Scarlxrd Type Beat) _by BLACK LIONS BEATZ _ TYPE BEAT, BEATS, 2018 FREE DL [soundtake.net]_data" into the fold...
