I could manually go thru the dialog and select the actor's mono parts and highlight them to be on both channels, but that would take forever. Is there an automatic way to merge both channels so whatever the louder channel is (in a given moment) will dominate the output? Like a more flexible audio d...

I know what a DI box is and a "standard" DI box is unsuitable for connecting to the mic input of a laptop computer. Just telling mariuj "you need a DI box (and cable adapters) to fix the mismatch" is not very helpful as DI boxes usually have balanced XLR outputs, whereas laptops ...

linear goes from nearly 1 to zero Linear goes from +1.0 to -1.0 The linear scale relates to the numerical value of the samples. the db scale only shows a range of about 24 db As I wrote in an earlier post in this thread; <<< The bottom end of the dB scale can be set by the user "Edit > Prefere...

There's a sawtooth setting for Generate > Tone. You might be able to force that to work. It's in Audacity 1.3.12. Koz To make the sound less "flat" you could use a number of tones each of them tuned to a slightly different frequency, then set at different volume levels and mixed together.

Suspect maybe an uncompatibility or copyright issue. Very unlikely. If your computer has a "Stereo Mix" option then with the appropriate settings it should work. If the computer/sound card does not support Stereo Mix, then it will not work at all. There's no half way in-between. just extr...

you need a DI box (and cable adapters) to fix the mismatch If I Google for "DI box" I don't see anything that will work. What sort of DI box are you suggesting that mariuj could use? @ mariuj, Many laptops do not have a suitable input for connecting to a tape. If the connector on the lapt...
