Because you are trying to access the device directly through ALSA (rather than via Pulse), if any other program is accessing the device then it will not be available for Audacity. Assuming that you also have a built-in sound card, ensure that system sounds are configured to play through the on-board...

I presume the tube amp is a plug-in because Audacity does not ship with a tube amp. Perhaps you could add some silence to the start of the track (Click on the track where you want to insert the silence, then "Generate menu > Silence"), then apply the tube effect, then delete the added sile...

I've not finished my cup of tea yet, so here you go - select part of an audio track, open the Nyquist Prompt from the Effect menu, paste this code into the Nyquist Prompt text box and click OK. (defun c-tone (hz g) (let ((c-array (make-array 2048))) (dotimes (i 2048) (setq x (- 1 (/ i 1024.0))) (set...

Yes that is possible, but it does not sound particularly good :) It's very late here so I'll have to come back to this tomorrow with a way to produce s...

I want to create a new file from an old recording. I have cut the needed material, but can't figure out how to paste it into a new file. Audacity works in its own "project format". Have you managed to import/open your recording in Audacity? If you have, then all that you need to do to cre...

I'm sorry but I do not speak Dutch, but I shall try to understand with the help of Google Translate. Audacity 2.0.5 is the latest version and it should work well for recording from your ION Tape Express. There is a tutorial here (in English) that may help you: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu...

No harm in doing it the other way around either is there? In reality, a sample rate of 96 kHz does not really gain anything more than bigger files and a greater chance of the computer "dropping" a few samples. Below 44.1 kHz, the sample rate is very important because it determines the upp...
