Re: Exporting 24bit AIFF results in 16bit file. Bug?

MediaInfo is probably correct, it usually is.

Re: Host says "no midi interface" not CoreMIDI?

but maybe something to do with the programming of SINE player as an individual app Audacity doesn't like, even if it's disabled within Audacity, so for now, it seems Audacity isn't aware the SINE player exists and is working perfectly fine!

Re: Delay/Echo problem in output using Steinberg ur44

the delay problem still persists even when I assign output signal to the iMac's internal speakers. There will be an unavoidable delay when routing the input from the Steinberg through to the iMac's internal speakers because there is no direct (hardware) connection between the two - the signal has t...

Re: PC- best level for recording

Is there a lower PC processer limit that it's better to stay above for best quality recording on Audacity ? What are you asking about? CPU specifications? Audio signal level? Something else? For audio signal level, we generally recommend aiming for a peak level of around -6 dB (peaks about half the...

Re: Ocassional dropouts

I'm likely not going to decrease the sample rate, or bit depth. It's the reason I got the interface in to begin with Keep it at 24-bit. That should lower the noise floor and allow you more headroom. For normal audio, sample rates above 48 kHz don't really give any benefit. Whereas bit depth control...
