Re: What does a Ring Modulator do?

Here's a "test signal" example.
440 Hz sine input and 700 Hz sine carrier.
2 versions - which one is ring modulation? What's the other one?

Re: What does a Ring Modulator do?

Aren't you happy? Always :D So it's like a bridge rectifier that's been made wrong .... hmm I wonder how it got invented.... While you speak, it appears the trees are speaking to us through variation in the rain noise. It's very disconcerting the first time you hear it. Bell-like/metallic sounds? P...

Re: Problems whilst exporting

What does a Ring Modulator do?

Re: Why don't my headphones work?

Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help menu > About Audacity" for the full version number).
What settings do you have in "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices"

Where are the headphones plugged in?
USB headphones?
