Re: Thinklabs version for recording heartbeats

I was told there was a Thinklabs version, is that correct? Yes there was. The main difference between the Thinklabs version and the regular version of Audacity is that the Thinklabs version displays both the Waveform view and the Spectrogram view at the same time.

Re: Windows 10 help.

"Could not find any audio devices. You will not be able to play or record audio. Error: Internal PortAudio error." Is that the error? If so, it seems to be occurring fairly regularly on Windows 10, and appears to be due to the sound card drivers. (see: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewto...

Re: COMPRESSION

I'm gonna go with user error then, because... A good tip for using any dynamic range effect (compressors, limiters, et al), amplify (or normalize) up to 0 dB before you use the effect. Why? Because it makes it much easier to see and hear what the effect is doing. For example, if you normalize to 0 ...

Are you using Export Multiple? If so, are you using labels to provide the file name?

Re: problem with recorded voice - it's not heard on smartpho

Are you sure that you are actually recording from the Reloop sPOD PRO? I would not expect to see a noticeable amount of DC offset from a microphone in this price range unless it is faulty, or there is a fault somewhere else. On the other hand, recordings from the built-in mic of a laptop computer fr...

Re: Complete noob, looking to see if I'm close to ACX standa

There is no wiggle room. First level of ACX acceptance is a robot with a clipboard. It will bounce you instantly if you violate any of the standards. Actually I think that there is a little bit of "wiggle room", or at least there was the last time that I asked about this. If the robot rep...

Re: Windows 10 Preview

You are using Audacity 2.06? Since this topic was started, Audacity has been updated. The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1. Windows 10 is still not officially supported as it had not been released when Audacity 2,1,1 came out, but Audacity 2.1.1 is believed to work on Windows 10, provided that ...
