Audacity Forum

Then by following the tutorials I have been able to use a USB headset to add vocal tracks on top of the initial recording (pretty cool 8-) ) but I can't hear myself singing back through the headset while I'm making the new track. Maybe it's not possible with my setup. I think that's normal when usi...

Let's start with which version of Windows you are using, and the exact three-section version of Audacity from "Help > About Audacity".

What settings do you have in the device toolbar?

You can apply the Equalization effect (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html) and use the "Telephone" preset. That will reduce frequencies that are outside of the main voice frequencies and may help a little, but it is unlikely to help very much because much of the music w...

Audacity is designed to run on a local computer.
If the VMs are installed locally and use a local hard drive, then it may work, but running programs in VMs take a performance hit and may not run fast enough to record/playback smoothly without distortion.

Interestingly, the damage is rather similar to the damage that this user was getting: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=268269#p268269 This is from JB14's recording: http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=12021 This is from the Windows PC in the other topic: firsttrack005.png

I'd like to salvage the first recording if possible. I'm going with "not possible", unless you fancy applying the Repair effect for every 52 milliseconds of damaged audio. The Repair effect can fix it pretty well (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/repair.html), but you will need to do ...

You will need a video program to add your new audio to the video (Audacity only works with audio). Open the video in your video editor and note the length and timing points for each of the voice over bits. Make your English translation and edit it so that the timing matches with your notes - the tim...

This is 55 seconds of silence and about 5 seconds of noise, mono, exported from Audacity as an OGG file with default options.
Note the file size. As Robert says, it would seem that your file is not "OGG Vorbis" encoded.

it was just an abbreviation of the Audacity 2.06 and I presume that is an abbreviation of "Audacity 2.0.6"? We are not being fussy for the sake of it - We know there are modified version of Audacity out there on the Internet, some of which have been modified to include malware. If someone...
