You start with the multi-track recordings - each instrument and voice on its own track. Then you mix them.

Re: Instructions Needed To Record Voice Message

If Skype is running, then that could be the problem. When Skype is closed, it remains active in the task bar (it's still running even when you close the Skype window). Be very sure that Skype is completely closed and shut down before attempting to record. To check that Skype is not running, click on...

Re: Problem with Nyquist vocoder

Try this:

Open Audacity
Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track
Generate > Noise... > White / 0.8 amplitude / 1 second

Now use the vocoder with the default settings:

20
2 (both channels)
40
100
0
0
30

Click OK.

Re: Expanding audio section without distortion

It depends what you mean by "distortion" - slowing it down is a kind of distortion (distortion = a change in the waveform).

Re: Audacity recording quit unexpectedly

The bigest headache I have had with Audacity on Ubuntu is in not understanding PulseAudio. PulseAudio recommend: "Distributors: if you ship PulseAudio, please make sure to follow these instruction as much as possible, to provide optimal PulseAudio experience to your users! Thank you! " Unf...

Re: Nothing happens on open SUSE 10.3

I'm trying to shift my whole computer setup to some flavor of Linux Congratulations ;) I would definitely recommend Ubuntu. I tried out loads of distros when I first got interested in Linux and Ubuntu is not only a really good version for getting started with Linux, but a good stable day-to-day sys...

Re: Problem with overdub...

No need to abandon Audacity for CuBase. Once you have your USB interface it should work with Audacity. Absolutely. I bought a laptop PC knowing that the sound card would probably be rubbish, and I wasn't disappointed. I usually record from a little mixing desk, so I need a decent Line-in and Line-o...

Re: 1.3.9 alpha vs. beta

At the present time, all the developers efforts are going into bug fixing, and there have been quite a few bug fixes done. The latest version is Audacity 1.3.10 alpha and that has some bug fixes that are not in 1.3.9 alpha or beta. I would suggest that you install 1.3.10 alpha and give it a thorough...
