Re: Electric noise on audio recording

As all sockets in my room are not correctly grounded I ask: Is there some kind of device or filter that could remove this buzzing noise ? You can remove buzz by using a series of notch filters: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/notch_filter.html "Plot Spectrum" can indicate the frequen...

Re: Applying Amplify effect results in no audio

You may have deleted a file that was being used in the Audacity project. Go to "File > Check Dependencies" and check that all dependent files exist. See here for an explanation of how Audacity projects work and how to avoid trashing your own work: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audac...

Re: Which mixer?

We can't tell you which mixer to buy - as you say there is a lot of choice. The Behringer mixers all seem to offer a lot of bang for your buck. I'm not familiar with that model, but there are some reviews on the German Thomman site: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&am...

Re: Which mixer?

The Peavey PV6 that Koz mentioned is also worth considering. It's a bit smaller than that Behringer model, a bit cheaper, but less channels, less "Equalization" control (tone controls per channel), smaller meters, knobs rather than sliders.... The Behringer may be a little "overkill&q...

Re: Which mixer?

trouble is the size of it.... It's not huge. Dimensions: 97 x 270 x 328mm = 3.8" x 10.6" x 12.9" (HxWxD). As far as I'm aware they use the same drivers as the UCA 202/222, which will mean that they should work out of the box without installing anything, or for enhanced drivers that a...

Re: Which mixer?

The Behringer C1 is a pretty popular mic. The main criticisms of it apply to the USB versions which tend to produce quite a low signal level but that should not be so much of a problem with the non-USB version. If you are in the UK (or Europe) it is worth considering the T-bone mics from Thomann.de ...

Re: Automatic adjustment/increase of sound level

When I make interviews, I am afraid to set the recording level too high Good. If you record too high it will cause distortion and that is bad and is near impossible to fix. when I then choose Effects --> Gain (I use a Danish version, so I only guess, that it is called Gain or increase) then the pro...

Re: Help! quality preference settings

Change the "Project Rate" in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window (as described by Koz). This does not automatically change the sample rate of the track, but it sets the sample rate for the exported file. When you export, select MP3 as the file format in the Export dialogue sc...

Re: Which mixer?

The little Behringer mixers are generally good value for money, but I'd definitely recommend getting one that has slider controls for the channel level than rotary knob controls as sliders are a lot more convenient to use. Make sure that you get enough mic channels - even if you are only using one m...
