Re: output volume is too low vs input volume

That just turns everything up or everthing down. If you turn up the "playback" level in the Windows Mixer it only turns up the "playback level" it does not alter the recoding level. Check again that you do not have "Software Playthrough" selected in the Audacity Transp...

Re: Generate -> Click Track [ 1.3.6a6 ]

Sorry, I meant 2.0.0. I downloaded it from audacity.sourceforge.net. This topic is about compiling from the source code. I don't use Macs so I don't think that I can help you. For help with a normal installation of Audacity 2.0 you would be better to ask the Mac guys by starting a new topic on the ...

Re: Separating Two Voices?

Separating voices from a mono recording is not possible because as you can see from the spectrograms even a normal voice spans frequencies of many octaves. If two voices are recorded onto the same track then the sound waves are inextricably mixed together. It is not really our field but this article...

Re: Separating Two Voices?

The white areas do not represent "voices" they represent the regions of greatest intensity at particular frequencies. The colours depend on the software being used and the settings in that software. There is no special significance to the colours other than different colours represent diff...

Re: Generate -> Click Track [ 1.3.6a6 ]

Hello. I have a similar problem. I have 2.0.1 alpha, and when I go to Generate -> Click Track, I also get nothing. I would look in my Audacity plugins folder, but I'm not sure where that is. I have Mac OS X, and the manual told me that it's probably in the Applications folder, but it's not there. A...

Re: effects tab not activated & removal of background 'hissi

I cannot activate any of the actions on the effects tab, even when I have highlighted the part. Ensure that Audacity is "stopped" (not playing, not recording and not paused). I would like to remove background 'hissing' but do not have part of the recording with this noise only to use as e...

Re: Generate -> Click Track [ 1.3.6a6 ]

I have 2.0.1 alpha, and when I go to Generate -> Click Track, I also get nothing. If "Click Track" is listed in the Generate menu then Audacity has found the Click Track plug-in. Are you saying that "Click Track" is not in the Generate menu or that it is the menu but it doesn't ...

Re: Sony Vaio and Audactity

I don't know the details for Freecorder (I don't use it) but one method that software use to get round the lack of sound card support for stereo mix is by providing a "virtual" (software) sound card. The audio from the browser (or other audio application) then "plays" through the...

Re: Normalize and DC offset correction

Another minor problem is that the DC offset calculation is not always exact. (defun compute-dc (input-sound) (sref (sound (mult (integrate input-sound) (/ (get-duration 1)))) (/ (1- len) *sound-srate*))) If the computed value is not exactly the same as actual DC offset then for a constant, non-zero ...

Re: Sound distortion

The first thing to check, look on the underside of the turntable. Some Ion turntables have a volume knob (some don't). Also check the recording level settings in the Windows Sounds Control Panel http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#vistacp Some 12" DJ mixes are recorded extrem...
