Audacity Forum

Ignoring Audacity for a moment, with the microphone plugged into mic input 1 of the PreSonus Audiobox, phantom power switched on, Channel 1 input level turned up to maximum, you should be able to make the channel 1 "clip" light flash on (indicating that the signal level is too high). Does ...

Not sure what happened with the modulation length on the wave modulation types. They were functioning as you had expected but I've probably introduced a bug at some point when making other changes. I'll make work properly as soon as I can. For the Wave-Sine option you could try something like: ((= ...

Nobody seems to have mentioned the obvious - have you switched on the phantom power on the AudioBox?

I'm editing the scripts in visual studio Wow, isn't that like using an elephant gun on a spider :P Have a look at Notepad++, it's free, it's pretty small, it's not dissimilar to Microsoft NotePad (on steroids) so it should feel quite familiar, it has syntax highlighting for Lisp built in, has paren...

Topic moved to the Windows forum. Check the recording settings in the Windows Sound control panel. Ensure that all "enhancements" are turned off and set the recording level lower. See here for how to get to those settings: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#vistacp Also...

Turn off the computer speakers or plug in some headphones. Does that fix it?

Have been trying to think creatively of a way to use a chain to evaluate a series of files to see whether the peak level exceeds 0db. Is this at all possible? Flac files cannot exceed 0 dB. WAV files can only exceed 0 dB if they use float format, but "standard" WAV files are usually 16 (o...

Try the limiter effect as suggested by Bill. Basically what that does is to reduce the level of loud peaks that are above the "threshold" and (optionally) amplifies the entire waveform up to use the extra available space. It's similar to what you are suggesting, but automatic, so it won't ...

"Change Speed" is a relatively simple matter of Audacity making the audio play faster or slower - the audio data does not need to be altered other than "spreading it out" or "squashing it up". Audacity can do this with very little loss of sound quality. "Change Tem...

Using Sync-Lock for three tracks(2 audio tracks and one label track) and various clips floating around the audio tracks, for some conceptual reason I guess, using the time shift tool I move a clip that coincides(intersects) vertically with another clip in the other audio track and moves it as well,...
