Re: Visual indication when recording is in progress

If there is any audio being recorded the recording meter will show activity. Also the recoding position cursor will be moving and the recorded waveform will be seen to step to the left each time the cursor gets to the extreme right (unless you have disabled that visual indication). You could always ...

Re: lost file

Sorry, your recording is not recoverable.
This is a known problem with Audacity 1.2.6 on Vista and Windows 7.

Audacity 1.2.6 is obsolete (it was written before Win 7 was invented).
The current version of Audacity (which does not have this problem) is Audacity 2.0.

Re: output volume is too low vs input volume

You probably need to turn up the playback volume in the Windows Mixer (look for a loudspeaker icon near the time/date in the lower right corner of the Desktop).

Re: Normalize and DC offset correction

Unfortunately my code is wrong, because "normalize without DC correction" must be: normalize the AC signal + add the DC offset, amplified by the same amount as the AC signal ;; no dc-removal, but normalizing (if (zerop pk) input-sound ; silence (mult (/ amp (+ pk (abs dc)))(sum dc ac)))))...

Re: output volume is too low vs input volume

when I playback both tracks together they sound like they are at the correct volume relative to each other. Please try this test exactly as described and describe the results. 1) Start a new Audacity project. 2) Set your piano to a "piano" sound and record something. While you are recordi...

Re: Normalize 2 recording samples

I'll have to look into a popping shield, though I am not sure how well that will work on a headset, For a headset mic, just ensure that the mic is at the corner of your mouth, not directly in front. The "popping" is cause when your breath (from mouth or nose) hits the microphone, so that'...

Re: Normalize and DC offset correction

The question remains how we inform the user of the more appropriate choice. In most cases I'd expect the "conventional" DC offset to be the best choice, so that would need to be the default. The "alternative" method (hp filter) would be documented in the manual (context sensitiv...
