Re: Saving multiple channels in one OGG file

Is there even an official specification for Mogg? Other than loads of pirate-ware, it only use seems to be used by Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

Re: Audacity shutting down if I try to use effects

Update: When I try to use Audacity effects my MAC computer crashes. There's something wrong with your Mac. Even if Audacity crashes, it should not make the computer crash. Also, I'm wondering why you have VST effects installed. Mac usually has a collection of AU effects, which in addition to the ef...

Re: Is A Computer Inaccurate for Music Editing?

Will my stereo be necessary to utilize the UCA-202? No. The UCA-202 has a headphone socket. Also, the output is just stereo RCA line level, so it should be compatible with other devices (such as powered speakers, cassette recorders, etc.) The UCA-202 cannot be used directly with passive speakers, b...

Re: Saving multiple channels in one OGG file

To create a multi-channel file (more than 2 channels), you need to enable the "Use custom mix" option in Preferences.

Re: Voice Recording is Metallic

Zoom in close and you can see the problem. Every 6th sample is zero. firsttrack000.png This could be a problem with your sound card drivers. I have just got a new PC and installed Audacity. I run a Rode microphone through a USB interface (Guitar Rig 4) Guitar Rig 4 is a software application isn't it...

Re: Silence Injection on Clipping - possible?

Steve has made plugins called PopMute : which identifies loud noises and silences them, and ExtendSilence: which is the opposite of truncate silence. but please note that these are "Nyquist plug-ins" and some Nyquist plug-ins may fail with very long tracks. Most Nyquist plug-ins should be...

Re: Question / Bug Regarding Audio Silence

See here for more information about "dither": http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Dither For "scientific" work, it would be best to work entirely in 32-bit float format (Single-precision floating-point format). You can export as 32-bit float WAV by selecting "Other uncompresse...

Re: mp3 files

What version of LAME ? It shouldn't make any difference, but I'm using LAME 3.99.5 on Debian Linux. I suspect that the problem is related to how the MP3 is embedded in the page. Here's an example of the HTML code that I used: <audio src="cbr128-no-metadata.mp3" controls="controls&quo...

Re: apply audio filter when recording? possible ?

Audacity does not apply effects in real time, so Audacity cannot help you with this. However, as you are on Linux, it is possible to use Jack Audio (http://www.jackaudio.org/) as your sound system, then route the input signal through any Jack aware effects (such as JAMin http://jamin.sourceforge.net...

Re: USB mic loud white noise

As koz predicted, the recording level is way too low. Try getting closer, much closer to the mic, like about 2 cm between your mouth and the foam ball.
