Audacity Forum

I discovered that it is nearly impossible to get the sound of multiple units (of a stereo system) such as aux, tape, phono, video, am/fm, etc. to just channel through a single RCA output to my computer line-in. With a hi-fi amp (pre-amp + power-amp combined) you can usually use the "Tape out&q...

OK, I think I know what has happened, and how to prevent it in the future, but unfortunately I think that this project is gone and lost forever. I am less familiar with Audacity 1.2.6 as I've not used it in quite a while, but it is quite similar to 1.3 In Audacity 1.3.5 there are two settings in &qu...

Sorry I can't offer much help with this, but check the following: Check that Linux recognises that the M-Audio is connected - if you use a GUI for AlsaMixer, then it may show the M-Audio as a selectable device, though it probably will not have any controls for it). "Edit > Preferences > Audio I...

I know what you mean alatham, but it's good for listening to in the car without the quiet bits getting drowned out by road and engine noise. In fact, there is a compressor plug-in for Audacity that has been specifically designed for listening to Classical music in cars: http://pdf23ds.net/dynamic-co...

If I understand correctly: You had three wav files. lets call them "a.wav", "b.wav" and "c.wav" These were originally recorded on a digital recorder. Did you then copy those to your computer hard drive, or did you read them (Import) with Audacity directly from the recor...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was too tidy. I will check out the settings you mention. Is there any possibility of repairing the damaged project? Unless you can find all the data files that you have moved and/or deleted and return them to exactly the same place that they came from, then it is very u...

Set the default recording format to 44100 Hz 16 bit stereo ("Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O")
That is the audio CD standard.

That sample shows quite a lot of clipping (recorded at too high a level) this may have something to do with it. Try moving the microphone further away from the guitar and see if that fixes it.

Can I just say that I think audacity should be able to choose, with ease, whether to recored microphone, speakers or both. Its too confusing! D= If it were possible, Audacity would. Unfortunately operating systems and device drivers rule the sound system, and Audacity is a slave to it, so you have ...
