Re: Recording with nothing but a laptop and Audacity!

I use a UCA202 with a PC (not laptop) and it's great - sound quality is very good and I can use it for audio in and out. This interface is primarily aimed at connecting a mixing desk to your computer via USB, and for me it works very well, but there are some limitations with it if you are not using ...

Re: Display more precise file properties, esp. for MP3

In the Audacity project rate tool bar, could you display more precise file properties, for instance:MPeg1.0 Layer3 -128 kps - 44khz - joint stereo (Player decoder ACM) Once an audio file has been imported into Audacity it is not an mp3. Audacity uncompresses the file so that it can be processed. Th...

Re: Voice disguise; hypnosis special effects

Ring Modulator with LFO disguises the voice pretty well - set Mod depth to 2, frequency to about 800 , sine level to 1, and everything else to 0. (Use the slider to set the frequency, there seems to be a bug in it that makes lots of nasty distortion if you type the value in).

Re: Record what you hear?

You set the recording source in the Windows Mixer. The Windows Mixer has two sections, one for playback, and one for recording - in the recording section select "What You Hear" (may be called "stereo mix", or just "mix" or something similar). Some soundcards (for exampl...

Re: changing the speed of a recording

Don't try to slow it down too much, or it will be difficult to understand. Try using "Change Tempo" and set it to -25 (minus 25) If you need to slow it down more than this, you may be better just using the "P" key to Pause the playback (start playback, press the "P" key...

Re: Quality after converting from Vinyl

To make an audio CD that is compatible with most CD players, you must use wav, not mp3. You must also specify in your CD burning software that you want an audio CD (not a data CD). If your setup has the option, use DAO (Disk At Once) writing method rather than TAO (Track At Once).

Re: Audacity hangs after stopping recording

I'm still thinking that this may be a problem with temporary files. Does Audacity ALWAYS crash when you are recording and then click on the "Stop" button? (even with very short recordings?) How much free space is there on each hard drive in your system? If you "Save Project As" b...

Re: Request: Skin

I like the metallic look - some nasty clipping on a couple of tracks though :D
