Audacity Forum

I'm not hearing in the recording what I'm hearing on vinyl directly. Maybe its impossible to get the same quality. You should be able to get very close to the same quality if everything is set up correctly. The main things to check are the "signal path" (exactly how does the signal get fr...

Audacity 1.3 can do this. Audacity 1.2 can not. In Audacity 1.3 Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export" and select "Use Custom Mix". When you "Export" (from the "File" menu) a project that has multiple tracks you will be given the option to map Audacit...

In...

That's the right version then, but posted in the Audacity 1.2.x part of the forum. I'll move this to the 1.3.x part. What are you recording from? A USB microphone? (make and model numbers can be useful). What sample rate and bit depth are you using (if you're not sure, look in "Edit menu > Pref...

Here's a pic taken from behind where I sit: Phew, I can rest easy now :D (one of my duties at work is "Health and Safety", but I'll avoid commenting on the lead trailing across the top of the stairs... oops, too late :lol: ) when I'm playing the guitar is usually not in a vertical positio...

This is not a discussion about microphone technique. It is a question from purrkofiev about using his "ECM-MS957 one-point stereo microphone". To end this diversion briefly, the Sony web site, the microphone specifications and the microphone user manual all say that this microphone is of t...
