Re: Zennox USB tape to MP3 converter

Audacity should work, but note that Windows Millennium Edition is not generally considered to be a very stable operating system. Make sure that you get the "Windows 98/ME" version - the standard "Windows 2000/XP/Vista" version will not work. http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_...

Re: How to UnRobotize after Effects > Noise Removal

The Noise removal in Audacity 1.2.6 is generally more prone to "robotizing" than the effect in 1.3.12 In either case, all you can do is to use less Noise Removal (reduce by a lesser amount) so as to reduce the unwanted audio artefacts. There is no satisfactory way to remove the artefacts o...

Re: Boys help a girl? Can't find how to convert 88200 to 441

I never knew about the turning it up as loud as possible, that already made a recording test 50% better. To be honest it added another problem. When I turn up the levels enough on the mic to get the LEDs up to the red line I'm way over the input (clippping) on the Microtrack. You shouldn't need to ...

Re: MP3's & WAV's massively clipped in Audacity

As seen in this image, there is the word "aircraft" at the top of the window, but there are no tracks. I imported a file called "aircraft.wav" into Audacity and then deleted it. The name "aircraft" remains at the top of the main window. That is normal - I've just tested...

Re: Distortion when recording from USB turntable

One would expect that a sound card installed as part of the original system would have the correct drivers and be fully functional. Unfortunately this is frequently not so. When Windows 7 was released, many manufacturers were struggling to produce working drivers for their hardware and in many cases...

Re: too high recording volume

you need a DI box (and cable adapters) to fix the mismatch You are absolutely right whomper, that could be a solution, but there still remains the problem that all of the DI boxes mentioned so far only have microphone level outputs on their balanced XLR connectors. The other connectors (jack/RCA) a...

Re: MP3's & WAV's massively clipped in Audacity

I edited audacity.cfg then tried opening and closing previously reliable wav's (From TrackItDown) with Audacity 1.3.12 but again same symptoms - close track waveform by clicking on X but clearly actual track is still there (its name still in top LH corner of screen where it should say 'Audacity'. C...
