Audacity does not use Java.
If you are building in NetBeans then it is probably that NetBeans is broken.

So how could I improve the next record with my computer. Turn off the Windows Sound "Enhancements" (see here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements) Get much closer to the microphone, then adjust the recording level as necessary so that the m...

They are similar, but not identical. An easy way to see the curve for Bass and Treble (or any other filter) is to apply the effect to generated white noise http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/generate_menu.html#noise and then look at the result using "Plot Spectrum" http://manual.audacity...

I want to cutoff everything below 100 hertz to 0 volume I want everything over 100 hertz 100 percent volume I want no transition in-between, just strict cutoff. How can this be done? It can't be done, it's impossible, but you can get quite close to that with these settings in the Equalization effec...
