I presume that you mean this is an internal (not USB) sound card?

Which version of Windows?

Re: Really urgent help fixing voice sample

There's a lot of things that can cause that problem. Basically some part of your system cannot keep up with the amount of audio data . See here for some of the common causes and possible solutions: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Troub ... ings#Skips

No. Audacity does not have "real time" effects. The effects in Audacity can only be applied to audio tracks in an Audacity project.

Re: recording out-of-sync with playback (v1.2.4)

3. I know my version of Audacity (1.2.4)is pretty old, but it's been working fine for me (except for the above), so I've been reluctant to upgrade to a later release.

Re: Odd behaviours on joining and splitting stereo tracks

the "channel reversal" problem in the three scenarios I mentioned does come up on [email protected] and I recall on the -users list too, so I think it is worth discussing (even at the price of making the "Make Stereo" rule "harder to explain"). Clearly the people who get foxed...

Re: Appropriate effects for .wav / need help

How did you get to that settings, I mean did you use Analyze -> Plot Spectrum? Yes. See the two big spikes - one at 150 Hz and one at 1000 Hz. Increase the "Size" parameter to get more accurate frequency readings. plot-spectrum.png - Is there an alternative way to solve that exercise, may...

Re: Cross-Fade (revisited)

I'm curious why you didn't use dB Waveform for those pictures. Simply because the Waveform view is more familiar to users - it's the default and that is what most users will see. So that's the 20log V1/V2 thing. That's the "Option 1" in the second picture (but without the cut-off at the e...

Unfortunately, we are solely allowed to use .... Are you asking us to do your homework? :D You can make a notch filter using the Equalization effect. You may need to check the results against the spectrum plot to get the notches in just the right place, but something like this will work: (see here ...
