Re: Twelfth Fret?

I've never used GVerb in my life and tuned what I considered most of the effect out. Its default is terrible. Yes, reeeeeealy bad. I wish I knew how to change the defaults. There's a page on the wiki about GVerb - the "Duplicate and mix together" method is much the better approach with th...

Re: finer resolution in Silence Finder

Thanks Edgar, that will be really helpful.
I've attached a patch file which may help you see which bits I've changed. (had to add a .txt extension to upload it)

Re: 42-year-old tapes sound great on speakers before Audacit

There are both advantages and disadvantages with recording at higher bit rates. While higher bit rates offer a (theoretically) higher frequency response, practical circuit designs become considerably more costly and processing loads increase rapidly. Commonly with consumer level equipment, if 96 kHz...

Re: backing up a step--just discovered the mixer board

Could you back up another couple of steps and describe what you are doing.
Is this a multi-track project that you are mixing down to stereo?
What exactly are you trying to do?

Re: Intel motherboard with spdif input and spdif output

I'm trying to "let it sink in", but it's just not going down very well. Is your proposal that you can connect an analogue signal (for example from your mixing desk) to an A/D converter, then connect the A/D converter to the S/PDIF input of your motherboard, then connect the S/PDIF output f...

Re: Trouble importing sound

In Audacity 1.3.12 Edit menu > Preferences > Devices What options are available and what options have you got selected? Have you read the section for XP on this page about how to select the recording input from the Windows Control Panel? http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_t...

Re: Digitech RP500 issues

The only reason I'm trying so hard to get it to work like this is in my living situation I'd get in trouble if I started cranking my guitar I quite understand :) Does it not have support for USB devices? Yes it does, but the Audacity Preferences are a bit different. Check the settings in "Edit...

Re: Twelfth Fret?

Very nice Koz, though you committed the Cardinal Sin of chopping off the decay after the last note ;) The "produced" version (timWed_CTestEq.flac) is extremely wide, especially if you listen through headphones. Of course I can narrow the stereo spread a bit with my Channel Mixer plug-in . ...

Re: Multitrack recording - direct to Audacity or external de

The device collection rejoices. A M-Audio FastTrack Ultra 8R (usb) device has joined the rank. 8 mic/line inputs. And the recording is swell. Thanks for the info. Feel free to write a review if you wish: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9477 Now *REALLY* swell would be if I co...
