Re: Recording BBC Radio programmes

The image in your last post shows only the "Recording" settings in the Windows Control Panel, so I'm not sure why you posted that. Microsoft Sound Mapper - Output Speakers (Realtek High Definition) Realtek Digital Output (Realtek ??) Try these settings: Host: MME Playback: Speakers (Realte...

Re: Importing .fxp files with VST plugin settings

a) use real time plugins in Audacity On Linux, can be a bit tricky but not too difficult in Ubuntu - requires a working jack audio system and preferably an RT kernel.

Re: cannot record please help

You need to select the microphone as the recording input. I can't be more specific as I've no idea what sort of computer, what operating system, or which version of Audacity you have. You may find something here that will help: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control...

Re: Modified Sine Wave plugin?

but I think your suggestion of a band-limited sqaure wave is an idea. That's basically what you have been doing with the Equalizer is there a way to cut off frequencies that are below a certain -dB? Yes, if you look at the spectrum plot you could use a series of narrow band pass filters to allow th...

Re: I have Stereo Mix, but I can't seem to use it well.

Check the website for your computer manufacturer for sound card driver updates. I can see that you have at least one "add-on" device - the WinTV card. Is that the only add-on device? Note that Stereo Mix will only work for sounds playing through the sound card that has "Stereo Mix&quo...

Re: Importing WAV Files/Exporting as mp3

For best sound quality, WAV format would be better than MP3, not only because the initial sound quality should be better, but also because when you export your final masterpiece as MP3, there is additional loss of sound quality which will be more noticeable if you started with an MP3 than if you sta...

Re: Different timecodes in audacity vs. vlc

Re: Modified Sine Wave plugin?

I'm not quite sure what you are after. Do you want band limited square waves in which the frequency band is limited to almost the fundamental frequency, so that it is almost a sine wave? or do you want a low bit depth approximation of a sine wave? or do you want something else? it plays but has a wa...
