Re: output volume is too low vs input volume

In the Transport menu in Audacity, ensure that "Software Playthrough" is not selected and that "Overdub" is selected. Ensure that the Audacity playback level is turned up and that the "DAW" control on the Audiogram is turned up. Start Playback of Audacity (just playback...

Re: Help with Basic Connections with Audacity2.0

The only 1/4" socket the mixer has is for a "MONITOR". Is that where it's supposed to go? No. According to the manual (available on the page that you posted the link to) that is a headphone socket. I see that the radio set is dual channel. Do you use just one radio mic at a time, or ...

We still don't know the answer. Do they look to be about the same size or is one much taller on the track than the other?

Re: Normalize and DC offset correction

Actually there is a third proposal in the Wiki (which) in the interests of fairnessI include here: 3) http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_DC_Management Personally I do not support this proposal, as it blinds users with poor sound cards to the fact that they have DC offset on their signal.

Re: Hardcoding I/Os on RME HDSP 9632

Probably the easiest way is to to use a "dummy" effect (such as an amplifier effect) that can be set to "dry/bypass (no effect). It does not really matter what the effect is as long as 1) you can configure your sound card to use it automatically 2) It has fixed port names (some applic...

Re: Volume of exported WAV much louder than the source WAV

This is, in my opinion, a serious weakness of Audacity. It makes it possible to produce clipping and not be aware of it until after the export has been done. 1) If you listen to the track before exporting then any serious clipping distortion will be obvious 2) There is a green playback meter that i...

Normalize and DC offset correction

Currently "Normalize" and "DC offset correction" are bundled into the same effect ("Effect menu > Normalize"). There are currently two wiki proposal pages concerning these effects. 1) http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Normalize_%26_Amplify_Consolidation 2) http...

Re: Export Multiple: Time or Phase Shift or Pad

If you mean the leftwards directed arrows near the axis labels for +1 and -1 -- YES ! In fact, in every track except the click track. Hooray, we've found the cause :) I would very much appreciate a pointer into the documentation. I'm glad you mentioned that. I expected to find it on this page, but ...

Re: bleeps at start or end of exported wav files

Hardware/buffer/playback software could be a contributing factor, but putting that to one side for a moment. Here I have made 2 copies (3 clips in all) from the file that you posted. They are placed end to end and then "joined" into one audio clip (click on the line between to adjacent cli...
