I thought I read here that Standard gives "better" results, hence the slight increase in size......maybe it's not an improvement one can hear??? With older versions of Lame "Standard" was better quality than "Fast". There has since been a lot of optimising of the "...

Another observable problem with Nyquist pitch shift is that it seems to cause the resultant delay time to be longer than that entered in the effect. Yes, the Nyquist pitch shift effect applied on its own produces a delay in the output. For example this is the code to cause a small raising of the pi...

Terratec are a well established name in audio equipment. They used to make some semi-pro multi-channel interfaces, though that side of the business seems to be abandoned now. I've not used one but I'd expect that the electronics and the performance to be very good. It looks like a plastic box, which...

The Delay effect that is currently shipped with Audacity has multiple problems ( bug 533 ) The excessive wording in the interface is inconsistent with built in effects (this is not the only bundled plug-in with this issue, but best to clear them one at a time) The level of each echo is much lower th...

This device is just NEW in the market and it still uses USB 1.1 interface?! :shock: USB 1.1 is extremely common with USB sound cards, even with new high-end devices. The data transfer rate of USB 1.1 (12 Mbit/s) is more than adequate for stereo audio at 24 bit 96 kHz or less. It is a well supported...

I use a Behringer UCA 202 with Audacity and I'm extremely happy with it. It sounds exceptionally good for a $30 sound card. The only "problem" with it is that there is no input level control so it is necessary to have control of the level of the thing that is being recorded. That is not a ...

I can try to change pitch; the problem is that it also changes the instrument. Is there a way to detect just that female voice to be taken out, or to be changed for male voice? No, that can't be done. The first problem is that separating one voice from a mix leaving both the voice and the music in ...

Audacity 1.2.6 is obsolete and no longer supported. Audacity 1.2.6 has multiple problems on Vista and Windows 7. You may have been lucky and not encountered the problems, but it does have problems. "Preferences" is under the "Edit" menu (the instructions that you have are wrong)....

I've tested this and Audacity is using Variable speed: Standard when selected (both direct file export and in Chain). There is some natural variability in file size when encoding as MP3. If you encode the same file 3 times with the same settings you are likely to get 3 different file sizes. MP3 is a...

The manual says: (12) Tape/USB To Ctrl/HP Depressing this switch adds the tape return to the Control Room and Headphone Outputs (28) for zero latency monitoring. In Audacity: Software Playthrough should NOT be selected (Transport menu) Overdub SHOULD be selected (Transport menu) Input + Output both ...
