Re: SSM2019 monolithic pre-amp chip

It's an analogue pre-amp chip. It doesn't use "bits".

Re: Too Many Of The Options Are Not Usable

For effects to be available you must have some audio selected and Audacity must be in "STOP" mode (not playing, recording or paused).
Audacity 1.3.11 is the recommended version.

Re: budget (usb) mic for classical guitar recording needed

Connecting the mic to a preamp and then the preamp to the line-in on the soundcard (selecting the input as line-in and not mic) is another setup that I'd like to try... That will probably work pretty well. A lot of the poor reputation of AC'97 comes from the very poor quality analogue components th...

Re: budget (usb) mic for classical guitar recording needed

Meanwhile I'll try to find or build a simple 48V power supply for the phantom power There's plenty of DIY circuits for that on the Internet. Really good regulation/smoothing is the key. At one time I was considering building a box for 5 pp3 batteries and a cap across the output - 45v should be clos...

Re: Volume greyed out on USB audio CODEC in XP

I've been meaning to study in Nyquist how to multiply the samples directly rather than use dBs. There's two ways of doing it: (scale n sound ) where "n" is the multiplication factor. Audacity uses "s" as the global variable that passes the audio data from the track to Nyquist, s...

That's the point - it could be anything.
I could have a few guesses myself, but unless kurier44 comes back and says exactly what it is, then that would just be conjecture.

Re: I want to make edits on all tracks at once

i would still say add the tick box instead of shift click or whatever Tracks need to be selectable even when the tracks are collapsed. Press SHIFT+Ctrl+C to collapse all tracks and have a look where you would like the tick box to be (there's not much room). Perhaps you could post a mock-up to illus...
