Is it possible to compare the waves point by point and for each couple of point take the one with lowest amplitude to create a new wave. Yes that can be scripted in Audacity using Nyquist but I don't think it will produce the result that you are expecting. Both the backing and the vocal are wavefor...

Look in the Notification area (near the time/date) for an icon to "Safely Remove Hardware". Click on the icon and a list of attached devices should be shown - is the USB turntable listed? If not, check all of your cables and try a different USB port. Don't use a USB hub, connect directly t...

I suspect that you may have been looking for these "microphone effects" in the in-built sound card settings, but you need to look in the Logitech audio settings. The Logitech recording input may be hidden in the Windows Control Panel. Instructions for un-hiding devices are included in this...

Assuming the following is correct... Some common (peak) values: 0dB = 1.0 -6 dB = 0.5 -12dB = 0.25 -18dB = 0.125 -24dB = 0.0625 The above are close approximations. (sorry about the wrong formulae in my previous post, I don't know what I was thinking :oops: ) The usual formula for calculating linear...

Yes, I can play the mp3 file in Audacity. Will that help you answer my question as to why the mp3 file is silent in WMP and iTunes? It tells us that the MP3 files are being correctly exported, but they are not playing in iTunes or Windows Media Player. I don't use iTunes, but Windows Media Player o...

Why amplify? With tape recorders it was generally advised to record at as high a level as possible without going too far into the red. This is NOT the case with digital recording. Tape recorders are tolerant of a small amount of overload and going slightly into the red will still sound OK, but with...

I would highly recommend upgrading to Audacity 1.3.12 http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac Playback of existing tracks while recording should be enabled by default in Audacity 1.3.12, but if for any reason you find that it is not enabled, you just need to select "Overdub" from the bot...

Install Audacity 1.3.12 http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac

I have a microcontroller with small memory 32kB and i must put in more then 10 sound You cannot fit 10 seconds of reasonable quality sound into 32 kB without some form of data compression. Here is an example of 10 seconds recording time with a sample rate of 8 kHz and a bit format of 8 bits. 8bit.w...

find another copy of lame_enc.dll on the net Thank you for your input but that is not a good idea. Lame for Audacity is a specific build that has been made to be compatible with Audacity. It is a common problem that other versions of Lame do not work correctly with Audacity. Lame for Audacity shoul...
