Audacity Forum

Look in the Windows Sound Control Panel and check that the device is set to record as stereo.
Also, Audacity must be set to record "2 channels (stereo)" in the device toolbar.

The "Normalize stereo channels independently" option will normalize left and right channels to the same peak level. However, note that "peak level" is not the same as "loudness". If there is one peak in a channel that is higher than other peaks, then that is the peak th...

Thanks Bill, yes that was it.

I posted a "hybrid" method somewhere on this forum - a Nyquist plug-in that converts the exported "Plot Spectrum" data to an Equalization effect XML file.

WASAPI loopback allows Audacity to record directly from a output stream. When there is no output stream, there is nothing to record so WASAPI loopback recording will stop.

As an artist, I am never sure a project is finished ;) In that case I would suggest one of the following: 1) For each project, create a new folder and name it to match the name of the project. Then put both...

I have a Zoom H2. The way that I usually use it is to record onto the H2 (stand-alone device), then take out the flash card and put it into the card reader of my laptop. Then copy (not "move") the tracks from the flash card to the laptop hard drive. The recordings (now on the computer) can...

Hey guys, i use the silence option much and yeah, i just cant find a hotkey for it Do you mean that you "silence existing audio" (Ctrl+L), or that you "Insert" / "generate" silence (as with "Generate menu > Silence")? A shortcut to "Generate > Silence&qu...
