Re: Splitting an analog microphone signal

You could try it anyway. Radio Shack sells six inch long headphone splitter "Y" cables which would work. I wouldn't recommend it. As you say, there's DC voltage on the microphone sockets. Usually it's difficult to short the DC voltage to the microphone input because of the contact arrange...

If the V-Drum has a "line output" as well as a "headphone output" you should use the line output connection. When you plug into the computer select "Line". The exact set-up for Windows depend on which version of Windows. The set-up is basically the same as recording fro...

Re: Exporting MP3 fles in mono

"Exporting MP3 fles in mono" is much easier in Audacity 1.3.11 (as are many other things) and I'd suggest you upgrade to the latest 1.3.11 version. All you need to do in 1.3.11 is click on "Tracks menu > Stereo Track to Mono", then Export. The reason I'm doing all this is that I'...

Re: After Audacity editing

Re: Can't make 1.3.11 under Ubuntu 9.10

It might require exactly version 1.10 of automake. Ubuntu usually provides earlier versions of automake because this is such a common problem (incompatibilities between different versions of automake). (I'm still on Ubuntu 9.04 and that has automake 1.10) I notice that "taglib" gets a few ...

Re: High pass filter or any other way for radio tone

But they're older versions. I cannot find FFT filter on 1.3.9 ver Effects menu > Equalization In Audacity 1.3.11, if you click on the button next to where it says "Select Curve" there is a preset called "am radio" which will go some way to creating a radio voice effect. I change...
