Re: Professional sounding fade out.

Glad you like it. I've been using similar fade-outs to this for years, but using a slightly fiddly process to make them. Back in the days of CoolEdit Pro I set up a custom fade that would do this.

Re: Ugly waveforms

"Windows Conferencing" I think it was called You must have spoken to Kozikowski. He was the only person in the world that calls it that. Now there's two of you, perhaps the term will catch on. ;) Could you post a short sample so that we can examine it more closely (see here: http://forum....

From my guitar the signal goes straight into my guitar amp. It goes out of the amp via the headphone jack which then goes directly into the line in of my computer, and finally out through my headphones. And your headphones are plugged into what? How do I isolate the two separate recordings and then...

Re: Adjusting Master Volume Affects Recordings

Re: Swishy recordings

Could you be a victim of Windows Conferencing? I wish you'd stop calling it "Conferencing". There is no such setting in Windows as "Conferencing" so users will not e able to find such a setting. The settings in Windows are called "Enhancements". It may be different in ...

Re: Swishy recordings

Is the "swishy" sound in the original Audacity recording (played in Audacity) or only when you play the exported file?
