The DIN EN 61938 standard specifies a maximum of 10 mA may be drawn by a phantom microphone. Typically the current drain for a true condenser mic is around 2 to 5 mA or less, with just a few exceptions getting close to the specification limit. Unless you are using a mic that requires exceptionally h...

We have only one input micro in front of the tower and one behind the tower. I doubt that will work on its own. It is most likely that the "line" and "mic" inputs are really one and the same, but with an additional, mono, microphone gain stage for the "mic" input. Anot...

I don't think the request is for deep integration into the block file structure, but for the simpler feature Dave described in http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=321340#p321340. I think the basic request could be satisfied by allowing an arbitrary time offset for the Timeline (as describ...

Just a thought: Perhaps subliminal MP3s work in a similar way to homoeopathic medicine and it may not be necessary for the MP3 to actually contain any of the original audio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy If this is the case, then just exporting as a normal MP3 with no special consideratio...

For conventional (not USB) microphones, you need to use an audio interface ("sound card") that has two microphone inputs, and then record in Audacity with "2 channel (stereo)" selected in the device toolbar . The two mics can be separated when the recording is complete using &quo...

Does this happen with projects that have been saved to disk, or projects that have not yet been saved to disk? The difference is that after being saved, the audio data is written to the saved project "_data" folder, whereas for a project that has not been saved, audio data is written to Au...

To get sounds from a "MIDI Controller keyboard" (such as the MPK Mini professional mk2), you need to either connect it to a "MIDI sound module" (a hardware "sampler" or "synthesizer"), or to a software sampler or synthesizer. How are you getting sound from you...

CTRL + Click doesn't work for me That might be a new feature in Audacity 2.1.3, which hasn't been released yet (I'm using the alpha version). In current versions you can toggle the selectedness of the "current" track (the track that has "focus" as indicated by having a yellow bo...

What about with no cable or microphone? Does the ART still pick up the interference?
If so, is it substantially less than with a mic connected?

If some reference to the data time could be maintained (almost as a second, non editable clock), that would work beautifully. That already happens in a fashion. When you record in Audacity, the audio data is written to disk as a series of "block files". These are small (typically 1.1 MB) ...
