Audacity Forum

The "Sensitivity" control is a new feature that is currently only available in the alpha version of Audacity. The alpha version is not recommended for general use as it contains new features that have not been adequately tested for suitability in a release version. If you are not already u...

Worse than that, it's wrong (though the method is correct for measuring peak offset).

Yes, that's the way to do it.

i thought someone here said once that that plug was mono only so it could never record stereo even if it were a stereo mike plugged in Some laptops have only a mono microphone socket. If the microphone input is mono, then it can not record stereo through that socket. The audio input socket on an Ac...

There's a lot of great, cheap digital gear out there now but I wonder if analog would add something. The main thing that it will add is hiss. Analogue 4 track recorders can be handy if you have them permanently set up so that you can start recording with no more fuss than switch on and press record...

That is correct. Audacity can only record from one USB microphone at a time.

Do you mean all of the effects, or just some of the effects? What operating system are you using? The old 1.2.6 version of Audacity is known to have problems on modern operating systems such as Vista and Windows 7. Do you have some audio selected? (Ctrl+A should select all of the audio). Has it ever...

Make sure that Audacity is in "Stop" mode and not just "Paused". Effects are only available when stopped.

Yes, but if someone measures a wave with a strong .1 Hz component in it, it should be measured. Probably not for the A-weighted measurement. The link you posted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Acoustic_weighting_curves.svg implies that A-weighting is only defined from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. I want to r...

I mean the other two tools I'm comparing to OK, I understand. When you use the A-weighting filter, that will automatically remove DC off-set due to the high-pass filter stages. For the peak and flat-rms measurements you could just apply a high-pass filter with a suitably low frequency. (setf s (hp ...
