I would not recommend a Shure SM57 or SM58 for recording acoustic guitar, and I certainly would not recommend a "knock-off" version for the job. I don't know about the mxl 990, I've never used one, but the reviews are mixed. I would be happy to recommend the T-Bone SC450 or any of the more...

Learned some cool things on this one, like how to find the length of audio using SND-TIME. but perhaps not such a good idea to use it in public plug-ins. (snd-time sound) Returns the start time of the sound. This will probably go away in a future version, so use snd-t0 instead. http://www.audacity-...

Pressing the Preview button would send only the first n seconds of the selection to Nyquist and output the result to the sound card.

A module that enables the creation of more versatile GUIs for Nyquist plug-ins.

Hopefully bgravato can confirm. it says left and right input... does that mean your vocals will only come out of the left speaker and the guitar will only come out of the right speaker? When you initially record, yes it w...

The Behringer Xenyx mixer pre-amps get a bit noisy when the gain is turned up to maximum.
Several of the ART pre-amps can provide up to 70 dB of gain (which is huge).

Check which version of Audacity you are using (look in Audacity "Help menu > About Audacity). I would highly recommend the 1.3.12 version, and if you have an earlier version for you to upgrade. In Audacity 1.3.12, go to "Edit > Preferences > Devices" and select "Channels: 2 (ster...
