Re: Why can’t I hear what I’m recording?

(I remember where it was on XP). Me too, but I'm not on a Vista machine at the moment and I can't remember for sure. Have a look in the Windows Control Panel, you may find it there Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound (if you're using "Classic View" there's a direct link to ...

Re: PreSonus FP10 records at a max of half-volume in Audacit

Is there some sort of setting I'm not seeing somewhere in Audacity? I don't think so. There is a recording level slider on the main Audacity window. If you adjust this the Audacity will attempt to adjust the recording level on the sound card (if the sound card supports it), but any adjustment on th...

Re: "Could not open MPE encoding library!"

This is where we wait for one of the other elves to post telling me how wrong I am and why. You know I'd love to oblige, but as I know nothing about Macs I'd be better to keep my mouth shut. Or should I open up read permissions to that folder to some group that this network user would belong to? I ...

Re: Audacity/Native Instruments Guitar Combo/USB ASIO

Record with the supplied software and then save or export the recording in WAV format. You can then open or Import the WAV in Audacity, edit and process to your hearts content, then Export from Audacity as a WAV file (or another format if you prefer). Note that "Save" in Audacity does NOT ...

Re: Problem with overdub...

In Audacity Edit menu > Preferences > Recording Tab Check that... "Overdub" IS selected "Software Playthrough" IS NOT selected. Close Audacity Preferences. That's the Audacity side done, now it's all down to your sound card. You probably have a RealTek HD, or a Sigma Tel sound ca...

Re: Blue Cat's Gain Suite plugins don't show up

In an ideal world, all audio plug-ins will all be fully compatible with all audio software. :mrgreen: Back in May of this year, all Blue Cat plug-ins were updated to make them compatible with Cubase 5. Wouldn't you have expected them to have already been compatible with such a main-stream product? I...

Re: Taking out effects from the Effects menu.

VST's can be in any of several directories. It is normal to install Audacity effects in the Audacity Plug-ins folder, but VSTs often use other folders. VSTs are a bit of a special case and individual selection of VST effects is difficult to implement (VST support in Audacity is still very new, so is...
