Re: Transferring Music From Cassette Tape To Computer And CD

When you plug in a USB audio device, Windows will usually set it as the default input (recording) and output (playback) device for all audio.

Re: recording stops after a few seconds

When I start recording a new track it records for a few seconds and then stops. It never did this until recently. How do I control or remove this limitation? You have given very little information to work with. Which version of Windows, what sort of sound card, what are you trying to record, what s...

Re: Headphone problem

Whomper, I'm glad we agree that recording from a speaker is a terrible way to record records or CDs, but it is the best way to record electric guitars. However discussing this here is of no benefit to backspace. If you wish to discus recording techniques, please start a new topic here: http://forum....

Re: Playback speed wrong, but pitch correct!

Voip software (such as Skype) are well known for changing the sound card settings. They need to control the sound card and rule it with an iron rod to be able to work properly but unfortunately do not put things back as they found them when they exit. On board sound cards are usually pretty low qual...

Re: Recording Multiple Sources @ the Same Time

To do that in Audacity you need to either: 1) Use "Stereo Mix"/"What U Hear" (not available on some Vista/Windows 7 computers) 2) Use an external mixer so that you can output the game sounds into the mixer and plug your microphone into the mixer and plug the mixer output into the...

Re: Playback speed wrong, but pitch correct!

(by the way, for future reference on W7: Control Panels -> Sound. Click "Recording" tab, right click device and select Properties, Click "Advanced" tab. Setting is there.) Thanks - useful feedback. FYI: As a test, I set Audacity to Mono, 1 channel, and it did the same thing, alt...
