Re: Setting up Adacity to record DJ mixes

this is hte pioneer djm-500 mixer Yippee, we got there :D I presume that you have the "Master Out" connected to your amp, in which case you can connect the "booth monitor" out to the computer. Note that the "booth monitor mix" is not necessarily the same as the "M...

Re: noise reduction

How big is the waveform that you recorded? If it touches the top or bottom of the track at the loud parts then it is too loud and will be distorted, probably beyond repair. You need to adjust the recording level so that even the loudest notes are well clear of the top / bottom of the track - about h...

Re: normalize corruption

same problem happened with amplify. so there is some sort of corruption with the file? why would the original files play back with no problems? Yes there's probably one or more invalid samples. For playback, no processing is done, so it is easy to just skip over a sample that makes no sense, but wh...

Re: exported segment not as heard during selection

Ctrl-B does not work to stop play and mark the stopped place, because Ctrl-B stops play and marks where the cursor had been placed (not where the cursor has been stopped). Ctrl+B is not supposed to stop play. It's supposed to create a marker at the "play from" cursor position, but recordi...

Re: normalize corruption

One possibility is that there could be some data corruption in the audio file. Recent versions of Audacity are protected against creating illegal samples (where the sample value is not a number ) but this does not mean that a file that does contain one or more invalid sample values will work correct...

Eclipse is cross-platform and runs natively on Linux.
If you have Linux you may not need a separate IDE, but some people prefer to have one and one thing that Linux has always done is to offer choice.

Re: microphone suggestions

A good recording microphone will pick up background noise more than a bad microphone. It would be better to try and reduce the background noise (turn off the TV, close the doors and windows, record at night, find the quietest corner of the house...) If that is not an option then you will probably ne...
