Re: Getting distortion on audio recording - guitar and vocal

Any other ideas?! =/ Yes, perhaps it isn't "distortion". Perhaps it "bits missing" due to data not getting from sound card to hard disk fast enough. That can cause a kind of "crackling" effect to the sound. If you post a short sample in WAV format, we can check if that...

Re: Samples, no forum for that here?

This one is almost exclusively about programming isn't it. When the forum was originally set up, it was done as a "community forum". What has happened over the years is that people realised they could get technical support here for almost any problem about using Audacity, so little by lit...

Re: Samples, no forum for that here?

For sound effects and stuff like that, freesound.org is good.
For music sample, try SoundCloud, YouTube, Google, and so on. There's masses of free stuff out there, you just need to look.

Re: How to convolve two sounds?

Try something like: (let ((signal (aref s 0)) (impulse (extract-abs 0 0.1 (aref s 1)))) (vector (convolve signal impulse) (aref s 1))) where the sound that you wish to process is the left (upper) channel of a stereo track, and the impulse is the first 0.1 seconds of the right (lower) channel.

Re: How to convolve two sounds?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
Do you know what "convolution" is? What exactly are you wanting to do?

Re: Where to select non-standard devices?

It probably doesn't mean what you think it means. "0" probably just means "no value available". If you want to investigate further, please go to "Help menu > Audio Device Info" and copy and paste the contents into your reply, then in the device toolbar , copy (in full) ...

Re: Volume too low on USB mic - pre-amp help? Mic level vs l

If you are going to use a USB mic (probably the lowest cost option), get one that has a recording level ("gain") control on the microphone. Having a headphone socket on the mic is also useful, and almost essential if you want to do "overdub" recording. If you're buying over the I...

Re: Noob trouble with playback speed.

It''s a common problem because, unless you spend a lot of money on professional hardware, the absolute speed of camcorder / computers / sound recorders ... are not very accurate. Perfectly good enough on their own, but problematic if you want to synchronise 2 or more devices. The workaround is to gi...

Re: Volume too low on USB mic - pre-amp help? Mic level vs l

According to the spcification (http://artproaudio.com/art_products/microphones/usb_microphones/product/m-one_usb/) the microphone is able to handle a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 138 dB. That's like shouting straight into someone's ear, or standing close to a runway when a jet aircraft take...
