In Audacity, set the default bit-format to 32 bit float. This will not affect the recorded data (and will probably not solve the problem) but it will improve the precision when processing the audio. the sound is severely distorted, like a gargling noise Could you post a short sample (just a couple o...

There is a Channel Mixer plug-in that allows full control of how the left/right channels are mixed, including inverting one channel to perform center-panned vocal removal. There is no combination that can produce center-panned vocal isolation.

steve, I don't mean to be insulting, but if I was running a software company and had you on the GUI design team, you'd be either off of it or fired based on that remark. No offence taken - in that hypothetical situation I'd resign after successfully suing your pants off for wrongful dismissal ;) Ha...

Tube emulation effects are most likely to be "distortion" effects, which from your description does not seem to be the effect that you are looking for. As written in previous posts, a really good tube amplifier does not have a "sound" - a really good amplifier (tube or solid stat...

Definitely something broken. it occurred to me to record out of the RCA ports on the back. I have one of those cables that are RCA on one end and 1/8" on the other. I thought I'd bypass the borked headphone port by doing it that. Instead, I got the same static-y result. What's the deal with tha...

I have now - no sound.

"Dolby" encoding/decoding is restricted by patent/copyright, so any official Dolby encoder/decoder would need to be licensed from Dolby (and would probably not be free).
Just reducing the very high frequencies a little using the Equalization effect will usually be sufficient.
