Microphone volume is set to 100% and the microphone boost is off. The microphone boost usually needs to be ON. That should fix the low recording level issue. Do I need new sound card driver? Internal (on-board) sound cards are generally low quality on PCs - it's one of the ways that they keep the p...

I've been through this topic and there's not really much to be done. The main thing from a programming standpoint is to see if I can remove the sample number limitation. Other than that, it's mostly decisions about what features to include and what to miss out. Decision Time: Decide on Output Path. ...

Could you post two short examples as WAV files (see the "Upload Attachment" tab below the message compose box). The samples only need to be a couple of seconds long - the examples below would be ideal. Audacity is often not able to control the sound card volume settings on Vista, so you ne...

If you Saved the Audacity Project there may be a few more options open to you than if you Exported the recording as music files and deleted the Project (depending on exactly what you did and how you did it). I presume that you exported as music files and deleted the project. As Koz has said, some of...

Contact mics are horrible on violins. Most bridge pick-ups are piezo and require a very high load impedance - somewhere around 1 MegaOhm. If a piezo pickup goes straight into a low impedance input you loose all of the bottom end and it'll sound thin and scratchy. If she's not using a pre-amp with a ...

Thanks storer, I'd not thought of that. I presume you're thinking of something like this: (setq dirlist (listdir path)) (setq basename "sample-data") (setq count 0) (while (member (format nil "~a~a.txt" basename count) dirlist :test 'string=) (setq count (1+ count))) (setq filena...
