Audacity Forum

Could you give some idea of the job in hand? Video tutorials of some kind? It's quite likely that the Samson C01U-USB microphone and the on board sound card will gradually drift out of time with each other, so if your recordings are more than a few minutes duration then it is likely that you will ne...

How can I align my tracks if you can't listen to the tracks you've already recorded You should be able to hear tracks that are already recorded. "Overdub" (in the "Transport" menu must be enabled). All of the tempos are slightly different Audacity assumes that the sound card cap...

I assume the idea is to create a folder called "Portable Settings" only in the folder where you have 1.3.10 installed. If you then open and quit 1.3.10, Audacity will write its "audacity.cfg" settings file in the Portable Settings folder and always look there for it. I was think...

Hooray
Works a treat.

Why did you "amplify" vs "normalise"? Habit. I use the Normalize effect at the beginning for the "DC Off-set removal" and "Amplify" at the end to bring the final level to where I want it (usually around -1 dB (minus one). I got into the habit of using Amplify...

I'm just listening now and maybe I'm deaf or the sound card on this (work) pc is not as good, but I can't notice a difference between the two!Maybe I should just leave it as is (normalise only). The difference is subtle, but if you have some reasonable headphones you should notice that there is muc...
