Re: can not get sound to work

Huge loud static (and none of the real sound) usually indicates that the USB connection has lost sync. Sometimes this can be corrected by just stopping and starting again. Sometimes it may require shutting down the USB device (safely remove device) then reconnecting it. If you do the latter you will...

Probably don't need to do that as the format conversion should do that automatically.

Re: Audacity won't launch… well, not really.

It could be a problem with the plug-in.

As you can launch the old Audacity version, open that and disable VST effects in Preferences. Close Audacity, then try launching the new version of Audacity. Does it open now?

Re: Recording on the Same Track Over and Over Again

How can I change my settings so it will record over the same track not starting a new one? Press Ctrl+Z before you start recording the new track. That will "Undo" the previous record. Tip: Pressing "R" will start recording. Spacebar will start or stop playback (and can also stop...

Re: 2 Questions for a Newb (Exporting, viewing effects in us

MP3 is a bad format for production as there is a loss of sound quality each time it is encoded, but it is good format for delivery as the file size is much smaller than WAV files (typically around 10% of the size). 3.4 MB may still be too large for an e-mail, but there are free file sharing sites th...

Re: Saving usb output from a fender mustang-I amp [linux]

If you're lucky, all that you will need to do is the plug in the USB, wait for it to be detected by the OS, then open Audacity and select the USB option as the recording input using the Device Toolbar. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Device_Toolbar

Re: Muffled voice from in game voice chat on xbox

As you've not mentioned what sort of computer, I've moved this to the Recording Techniques section. Are you able to record the in-game sound, without the microphone, in good quality? If so, record that, then record your voice-over separately later (like making a voice and music pod cast http://manua...

Re: noise remove under Audacity v2.0

the mp3 file converted hear like a machine generated voice, not like a human being voice. You are using very extreme settings. Noise removal is always a balance between the amount of noise removed and damage to the audio that you want to keep. The effect can work very well on constant low level noi...

Re: Saving usb output from a fender mustang-I amp [linux]

From a quick look at their web site:
http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/mu ... utal-metal
Mustang includes USB connectivity for high-quality, low-latency audio output,
If you plug the USB into your computer, does it show up as an audio device?
