Re: installation's problems

You can disable VST effects in Audacity altogether by following the steps given in Koz's link, but when you get to the step: 2) Open audacity.cfg in a text editor such as Notepad and remove all the content except the line NewPrefsInitialized=1 put (only) the following lines into the audacity.cfg fil...

Re: Need advice on my workflow

OK, got it. You're doing a "cross-fade". There's not yet a "cross-fade" effect in Audacity (it's being worked on), so the procedure has to be done manually. To give you an idea of what we're going to end up with, here's a picture of a cross-fade between a sine wave and pink noise...

Re: (non Audacity) Post-processing trouble

From my old clubbing days I always though Turbosound had some of the best sounding systems around, and a quick scan of their site seems to show their subs go down to around 25Hz. They also make some great out-door rigs. The low frequency range varies depending on the model, but for big subs it's us...

Re: connect electric guitar and keyboard

It's the updated version of the USB device that waxcylinder uses.

Re: (non Audacity) Post-processing trouble

The low/high pass filters work in a similar way to (hardware) analogue filters. An attempt at an over-simplified explanation: As the corner frequency is approached there is a gradual phase shift. The result of this is that the peak of a particular frequency components my be in a slightly different p...

Re: (non Audacity) Post-processing trouble

in a big club PA what is the low frequency that makes your chest almost vibrate/resonate? Big club PA systems use (powerful) "bass bins" to produce frequencies down to about 30 Hz, or perhaps a little lower. For example, the (big) JBL SRX728S dual 18" speaker is specified: -10 dB at ...

Open the AUP file using the File Open menu option.

Re: Need advice on my workflow

I don't use Macs or Sound Booth.
What exactly is a "a mix/paste between songs" and how would you do it?
