Re: BBE Sonicsweet plugin

BBE lists compatibility with Windows® RTAS, VST RTAS is a plug-in format supported by ProTools and not much else: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_AudioSuite Audacity does not support RTAS. VST is a plug-in format that is widely supported by DAW (digital audio workstation) software, including...

Plug your headphones into the mixer and listen to the mix with the bass turned up to a reasonable level.
Do you hear any distortion (crackle)?
How high is the level on the Behringer 900 meters?

Re: Samson C01U - White noise and low sound

the noise sample that I recorded was at 50% volume.... [snip] The voice sample is at 60% So shouldn't the noise be louder in the voice sample, since it is recorded at a higher (60%) level than the noise sample (50%)?. Microphone recordings are never completely free of background noise. I don't have...

Re: Crackle in bass when recording from USB mixer

You are heavily overloading something somewhere, even though the final recorded level is very low.
You will need to describe, in detail, the exact "signal path". Where each and every sound originates and the path it/they take to reach Audacity.

You can't expect to get bass reproduced properly through laptop speakers.

Re: Trying to get Audacity to record on Debian linux

AlsaMixer is usually installed by default in Debian (and most other distributions). The default sound system in Wheezy is "PulseAudio". Typically this will show up in AlsaMixer as having only "Master" playback and one "Capture" option. To set levels for the actual sound...

Re: Reverse ducking

It occurs to me that I could duplicate the mix and drop its sample rate to something totally unreasonable, just to conserve memory in the scratch space. The command (in my previous post): (snd-sqrt (snd-avg (mult s s) 1000 1000 op-average)) multiplies "S" (the sound from the audio track) ...

Re: Reverse ducking

Here's a quick and dirty (very dirty) hack using the Nyquist Prompt. This code assumes mono tracks with a sample rate of 44100 Hz for both the music and vocal tracks. Run this first on the (music) track that you want to follow: (Memory usage will go quite high for this pass, but I think you should b...
