Re: Unexpectedly Quit....

Be careful Curley. My guess is that the fan has a faulty switch and it's putting a spike through the AC circuit that's affecting your computer. Might be best to have the fan and the power socket checked out by an electrician (or if it's just a cheap fan, trash it).

Re: timeline

Re: USB microphone with low recording level

I get nervous about false statement like: "USB only proides 2,5 W power. That is not enough for a good mic preamp". If you've seen a review of the X2u that says that it does not provide adequate phantom power, it would be more useful to give a link than make an unsupported sweeping stateme...

Re: Record simultaneously on two microphone inputs

The aim is to measure the propagation speed of waves in different media for geology. One causes a shock that one piezo sensor registers and another one retrieves further in a material: the propagation time of the wave in the material is measured. OK, sounds interesting. So I presume that you are ab...

Re: Online version of Audacity

is there anyone that provides online version of Audacity (type TwistedWave) for editing. No, there is no online version of Audacity. "Audacity" is a registered trademark, and there is only one audio application that can legally use the name "Audacity". The website for Audacity i...
