Re: Sound Gets Fuzzy After Noise Removal

The Noise Removal effect is designed to deal with low level noise. If the hiss is too high it is near impossible to remove without causing serious damage to the audio. Here's the manual page for the Noise Removal effect http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Noise_Removal Note that the illustration show...

Re: recording

Audacity 1.3.14 is highly recommended. You can also place labels during recording (without stopping or pausing). Just press Ctrl + M to place the marker, then (optional) type in any text that you want, then ENTER to close the label text. If you stop the recording at any time (spacebar or click the s...

Re: How to make it sound a little less un-professional

The problem is that my microphone of course isn't up to professional standards. The sound card is also poor. Even a cheap USB microphone such as this is likely to give considerably better results: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&gs_upl=&q=logitech+microphone&um=1&ie=UTF...

Re: Audio meters

Audacity does not operate directly on compressed audio files. The audio data is decoded to uncompressed PCM data when the file is imported.
The C++ Source code for the VU meters is in /src/widgets/Meter.cpp

Re: Need Help To Get All Projects The Same Volume

There is no setting to make this track the same loudness as that one. That's special programming. Indeed it is. By coincidence, I've just been testing a new (experimental) plug-in for this type of job. Note the word "experimental". Only use this effect on copies of your work, not your irr...

Re: ReplayGain

Today I needed to make a compilation CD which gave me the opportunity to try this plug-in out "for real". Considering that my tracks were all under 4 minutes and the computer had plenty of RAM, I found it a bit irritating that the plug-in only analysed , requiring me to manually apply the ...

Re: Line In records one channel only

It's sounding increasingly like either a hardware fault or a design limitation. I guess that it is possible for it to be a driver problem, though not one that I've come across before. To update the drivers you would need to go to the manufacturers web site (http://www.acer.com/worldwide/selection.ht...

Re: Cue Sheets

I believe I am talking about "non-compliant" cuesheets, which are handled alright by ImgBurn, Nero, Brasero and K3B itself. The worst part of the cuesheet would be the INDEXes because some CD have several on top of one track. If Audacity ever exported, we wouldn't need this. Just one inde...

Re: Request clarification for Binaural Beats plug-in

There are some instructions here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Generate_Plug-ins#Binaural_Tones_with_Surf_2 Is the 'Right Channel Beat frequency' the intended resulting entrainment frequency (eg - if I want a beta wavelength at 18 hz, I input 18 hz), or would I input 118 hz if I leave t...
