I suggest you use a DI box (Direct Injection) to match the impedance levels. Bear in mind that he is plugging into a PC mini-jack input, so even with a DI box there is still the problem of matching a balanced XLR output to an unbalanced mini-jack input. A better solution might be to buy an external...

The problem is that you are using invalid characters in track names. In this case, the track name appears to be: Çâóêîâàÿ äîðîæêà Which I presume is a series of non-Latin characters? Audacity 1.2.x does not support Unicode characters, so track names, file names and metadata (ID3 tags) must only use ...

I've submitted a report to "feedback" (I'm a bit hesitant to submit a bug report to Bugzilla myself as I can't see the problem).

There's also a note about it in the release notes: http://sox.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=sox/sox;a=blob;f=README.win32;hb=HEAD 85 Appendix - MP3 Support 86 ---------------------- 87 88 SoX contains support for reading and writing MP3 files but does not ship 89 with the DLL's that perform d...

I think what may be happening is that you are getting "drop-outs" (bits of data missing). If you zoom in very close on the waveform where the problem is occurring, you may be able to see bits missing from the waveform. This happens if there is some data bottleneck that is preventing the au...

There's several ways that you can do that. Probably the closest to what you are familiar with is to select the part that you want to Export, then "File menu > Export Selection" See here for the full article in the manual about "selections" http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audac...

in this case the recording was a live performance using a stereo condenser mic. So to get the most of it without the 88.2 option I used 96kHz. It's a familiar idea that "bigger numbers are better", but in the case of sample rates it is not necessarily true. A sample rate of 48 kHz is capa...

The hard limiter will be introducing distortion on peaks that are above -5.5db.
The result of what you are doing will certainly be "louder", but probably not "better quality". As bgravato wrote, it depends what you are after.

Possibly "EasyTag"

Some usb devices don't allow to adjust the input level. That's a limitation on the usb drivers for those devices. In most cases it's a limitation of the hardware itself. Signal level adjustment should be made to the analogue signal before it reaches the A/D converter, otherwise all you are doing is...
