Re: Audacity plays differently than headphones.

Is that a software problem or a hardware problem? Most likely hardware. Sennheiser e815S -> microKorg XL -> Kaoss Pad 3 -> Boss rc-50 -> main output to microphone input What is the microphone input? If it's the mic input of your laptop, then that's the (very) weak link in the system. The main outpu...

Re: Can't Unsync Tracks

The first thing to check is that Sync-Lock is off. Look in the "Tracks" menu and ensure that "Sync-Lock tracks (on/off)" is not ticked. If the audio selection extends across multiple tracks, and you drag with the Time Shift tool from within the selection, then all audio clips tha...

Re: how to sync lock only selected tracks

Hey guys, I'm a bit confused on the sync lock function. I was playing with it the other day, and now I can't seem to UN-sync tracks. Example: I have a track at the top, stereo, song file. Underneath that, I have a spoken track. I'm trying to fade out the music when I begin speaking, and it's not al...

Re: Audacity Plugin and other Sierra issues.

Audacity does not support plug-in authentication (or "dongles"), which is a deal breaker for many commercial plug-ins. Some license authentication systems require interaction by the host application to verify that the plug-in has been "unlocked". Audacity does not have the crypto...

Re: Audacity Plugin and other Sierra issues.

Audacity 2.1.3 (available here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/) works fine for me on Sierra.
What "issues" are you referring to?

Re: Floor microphone stand or desk arm stand?

I use a reasonably good quality floor standing boom stand. When using a heavy mic, it is advisable to not extend the boom fully. Additional weight can be added to the other end of the boom to help counterbalance the weight of the mic. Another solution that I've seen work well is to suspend the "...

Re: How Can I separate two recordings that mixed

After recording, pausing and restarting - the user did something wrong - I guess when they saved it and instead of having one long recording, the second half mixed with first half and you hear them together, Is there any way to split these two recordings apart? Audacity 2.1.1 with .exe installer an...

Re: Audacity records Bass at wrong pitch

"Undo" in Audacity restores the project to the state that it was immediately prior to the last "push state" command. In the follow case: 1) Play the project 2) Apply an effect 3) Undo the effect 4) Play the project. If (4) sounds different from (3), then the difference can only b...

Re: bit perfect recording

What do you think will happen if Audacity will offer simple ASIO support? I've answered several times already. That won't happen unless Steinberg's license terms change, and there is no indication that will happen. If you're not happy with the answer, take it up with Steinberg - it's their license ...

Re: Burn it off, Hose it down.

Linux does not have an installer.
Notes in the manual are MUCH easier than rejiggering the Mac DMG.
