Audacity communicates with the sound system via PortAudio . PortAudio may be built with support for ALSA, JACK, or OSS ("hosts"). To use PortAudio, it has to be built against a host that is present on the system. Most Linux distributions build PortAudio against ALSA, as that is their defau...

Is there a way to avoid this ?

Make it a "tool" type plug-in.

Code: Select all

;type tool

This will only work for a real installed plug-in, not the Nyquist Prompt.

As DVDdoug wrote, there will always be some noise from the audio interface. It is therefore essential to get the microphone signal high enough so that the noise level is insignificant compared to the microphone signal level.

I connected a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd generation to my Mac running Mojave 10.14.6 Connected to the Scarlett is a Synco D2 mic.

The issue occurs across multiple DAWs. Attach is a recording of the sound. With or without mic plugged in same issue. All on audio interface are at 0.

Is that the actual level of the noise, or have you amplified / normalized it?

"There are three "sample rate" settings that should all be the same:

Check again that these three sample rates are the same.

Is there a way to record Mic + Systemaudio at the same time? If available on your computer, you will need to go into the Windows Sound control panel and enable "Listen to this device" for the microphone. (this web page may be helpful: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/126383-listen-micr...

Check the location of Audacity's "temp" folder and ensure that it is writeable for the user.
