Re: Audacity with Xone 96 Mixer - No or Very Low Signal in Audacity

Does the Xone 96 mixer show up in the Windows Sound control panel?
If so, is it enabled, and do you see the green meter in the Recording tab respond to input from the Xone?

Re: Splitting a track in Audacity 2.4.2

Because there were so many keyboard shortcuts, there were very few keys left for users to create their own custom shortcuts. So now there are two sets of default shortcuts - a smaller set (the factory default set), and a full set. "Ctrl + i" is in the "Full" set. See: https://man...

Re: fix muddy bass track

I also tried boosting the 200-400 range That's usually the range that causes the bass range to sound muddy. Reducing that range usually helps a muddy mix to sound less muddy. If you cut too much it will start to sound "thin". I assume that the recording is already mixed down to a single s...

Re: Noise when the recording volume is at 0

Analog recordings always have some amount of background noise. When you amplify by 50 dB, it is to be expected that the recorded noise will get much louder.

Re: Guaranteed High Frequency Sound Card With IN and OUT

It is not for radio-related testing but general bench top experimental equipment in all sorts of areas. Perhaps best to initially limit your work to the audio range (up to 20 kHz) as there's plenty of affordable hardware available. Once you have it all working, it should be relatively simple to upg...

Re: How to compare two audio files ?

I am working on similar scenario. Did find any way to compare audio files? Your question is too vague to give a precise answer (like asking: "How to compare two things"). With Audacity you can easily compare: Length of the audio Peak level RMS level Frequency bandwidth Sample rate If you ...
