Audacity Forum

It sounds like you may have a bad microphone lead. Is it just an ordinary computer microphone that you are using? Can you test the microphone out on another computer? Can you borrow a microphone to try? It would be helpful if we can narrow down the problem, otherwise we will probably end up chasing ...

The trouble is that not all sound card control panels / mixers are the same. Do you know how to take "screen shots" from your computer? Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard (this copies the screen to the clipboard), then open any "Paint" type application and...

But from I read in the forums, this seems not to be linked to MACs only, right? PC users seem to have that problem to. Oh yes, there's plenty of PC users that have problems with USB turntables. The problem is typically bursts of static like noise that happens randomly. Some users have it worse than...

Congratulations, I'm glad you got a good result :D I still would like to get a recording software that can have specific input on a per track basis, rather than one input only, Audacity can record up to 16 tracks at the same time - that's 16 inputs onto 16 tracks of their own, all at the same time -...

So I went ahead and just reinstalled the operating system and installed an older driver. This seems to have solved the problem. I tried moving to the newer version again just to see if I could verify that that was the problem, and yes it caused the buzz to come back. So it seems it was a driver iss...

Which editors do you have in mind?

I guess it will, but I'm a Linux user (ex Windows user), but not Mac.

I'd use G-Edit or Scite, but that's on Linux.
