Re: Blue Yeti not working on my computer????

Is there a "USB" mic listed? (Windows might not call it "Yeti").
Have you set the Windows Sound Control Panel to "Show disabled devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices"?

Re: Blue Yeti not working on my computer????

Topic moved to the Windows forum. Does the mic show up in the Windows Sound Control Panel ? If you launched Audacity before attaching the mic to the computer, the Audacity will not "see" it until you tell Audacity to "Rescan audio devices" (near the bottom of the Transport menu)....

Re: Compare samples and generate EQ profile

Aside from not completely flattening out the mid-tones, it seems like the EQ has an upper limit of perhaps +20dB. You've been bitten by a bug in Audacity. The Equalization effect has two "modes". In the "Graphic EQ" mode (the view with sliders), the gain range is +/- 20 dB. In t...

Re: Hz Conversion

Being just new to Audacity and not well versed at all in its capabilities, I must assume from your replies that it is not possible to just play recorded music into the program and have the program set to convert it to A=432Hz regardless of its original pitch. Is that correct? No program can do that...

Re: Compare samples and generate EQ profile

OK, a little lightweight hacking... exported an EQ curve as an example XML file, plus the data on the Freq Analysis, and crafted my own curve in an Excel table. I used the peak amplitude as the baseline and adjusted all the frequencies so they'd end up at that value. That's the right approach. I'm ...

Re: Compare samples and generate EQ profile

.is there a way for Audacity to record from the laptop's speaker channel? I don't use Mac myself, but I believe that you need to use additional software such as SoundFlower. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_mac.html The above was done using the built...

Re: Downgrade to 2.0.5?

I use audacity to generate tone sets to program fire pagers, scanners, fire portables, etc. In order to do this and make sure they're programmed properly you need to generate specific tone sets and durations. Usually these are 8 second long tones of one frequency in Hz or an A/B tone set consisting...

Re: Hz Conversion

Does it matter what the original was tuned to as long as the objective is to create the new one tuned to 432Hz? if you don't know what the original was tuned to, how will you know how much to change the pitch by so as to tune it to "A 432"? More importantly, how will you know if it really...

Re: equal loudness curves, plot spectrum, and dB levels

Possibly a dumb question here, but is 3,000 Hz right about F#7 / G7 in "standard" (A440) tuning? Another handy link: http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html Does that sound workable? OR is there an easier way that I'm overlooking? I was saying previously that hearing works "comp...
