Audacity Forum

I really appreciate you spending so much time on someone else's problem! Thanks! No problem. I'm curious ;) Yes, I installed pavucontrol yesterday while looking for solutions to my problem. Pavucontrol recognises the USB device, but this didn't help me a lot... That's good. Try this test: Start Jac...

The point that I find very strange about the original poster's question is (emphasis mine): I have constant residual noise that fluctuates between -72 db and -84 db when I click pause and then record with 1.3.12 on a Windows 7 PC with the Audacity input all the way down to zero. After relocating cab...

The files that are giving problems probably have invalid characters in the Metadata.

Does the MacBook Pro have a good Line input? If it is a really loud band, you may get away with one, or a pair, of reasonably high output (but not too "sensitive") dynamic microphones plugged into the line input (with a suitable splitter lead). If that has too high a noise floor (the band ...

You're right again, it's PortAudio. I'm beginning to get confused. This is what I see: Thanks. It's easy to start getting confused after looking at the same thing for so long. :) I'm confused too. This really does not make sense. This suggestion is unlikely to help, but just so that we can rule it ...

If you are recording music that is playing on your computer, you need the "Stereo Mix" option enabled in the Control Panel. Generally it is best to also set "Stereo Mix" as the default recording device.

the messed up thing is when i switch the recording to internal mic it works fine i even undownloaded the m-audio and Audacity it still gives me this latency problem and this p That description is very difficult to follow. Could you give a simple step by step description of what you are doing and wh...

That's not changing the "sample rate", that's changing the "sample format".
