Skype cannot be recorded by Audacity using "Stereo Mix", because as soon as you launch Skype it switches off Stereo Mix. :evil: The best and easiest way to record Skype is to use one of the specialist programs such as Pamela et al. It is also possible to record Skype using a virtual sound ...

I've also noticed this intermittently - for some reason it seems that this version is prone to loosing "focus". I've not yet found a way to reproduce it at will and I was suspecting that it might have been my imagination. If you find a way to reliably reproduce the problem, please let us k...

That is terrific :D It's the most dramatic demonstration of "Noise Cancellation" that I've ever seen. Somewhere in your sound card settings there should be a switch or selection box that allows you switch on/off the noise cancellation. It may be called something different (echo cancellatio...

For selecting analogue inputs, select them all and delete any tracks that you don't need (Audacity does not currently support channel mapping, so multiple channels always start at channel 1).

from listening to it IMHO you can improve it a lot. I would disagree. ;) While it's true that there are better noise removal tools than those in Audacity, the level of the quiet voice is not far above the level of the background noise and there is a considerable overlap in the frequency bands of ea...

You could try using Audacity 1.3.11 The VST Bridge is not required for VST effects in Audacity 1.3.11, however the Fruity Loops VST effects will probably not work and may still cause problems. I don't know what FruitLoops have done, possibly some sort of anti-piracy protection, but they regularly ca...
