Was that a standard audio CD (not an MP3 CD)?

Re: Exporting frequency analysis

Alternatively, you could export the data from Plot Spectrum using the Export button. That will produce a text file containing the "frequency / amplitude" pairs. Then import that data into a graph plotting application. For example, in Open Office / Libre Office you can import the data into ...

Re: not recording anything

Input is set to uca Do you mean in the device toolbar ? Try plugging your headphones into the Behringer 502. Can you hear sound there? Still not getting sound to audacity program though. What are you getting in Audacity when you try to record from the 502? A flat line? If so, try applying the Ampli...

Re: noise removing on top of audio

Go back to your original audio. Try using Noise Removal with the "Sensitivity" setting at around "8" and the "attack/decay" set at 0.0. The "Noise reduction" setting will probably need to be set lower than you had it before. Experiment with the "Noise red...

Re: mathematical functions in audacity

how can I calculate an amplitude like this: f(x)=x^1.1 What is "x"? Is that the sample values? If so, then it only makes sense for positive sample values and can be calculated using the Nyquist prompt effect with: (snd-exp (mult (snd-log (s-max s 1e-15)) 1.1)) "1e-15" is a very ...

Re: Recording issue.

Now that I have done this I find that I cannot record audio directly off line as I hear it. If you mean that you want to record sounds that are playing on your computer, try the WASAPI method described here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html L...

Re: erasing parts of a track without everything else moving

If I want to insert a bit then everything moves to the right.. How is that prevented? There are three ways: 1) Make a selection in the space that you want to paste, exactly the same size as the content that you are pasting. The pasted content replaces what was previously in the selection. 2) Change...

Re: USB Mic Hiss, could anyone help me figure out how to fix

All microphones produce a bit of noise. The "absolute" amount of noise is irrelevant. The important thing is how much noise is there in relation to the audio signal - that is, the "signal to noise ratio" (SNR). If the audio signal is hugely greater than the amount of noise, then...
