Audacity Forum

You misunderstand me natewestra. When I said "it's probably not there", I meant that it is probably not present in the actual recording. If that is the case, then the "high pitch whine" is probably being created by the playback system. If you read my full post, and follow the lin...

The Samson C01U has driver software that gives you programmable gain, probably also on other models.

"Ripping" is the best way for highest quality, but it sounds like there's something going wrong with your ripping. As I said previously, if the DVD sounds good, but the rip doesn't, then something is wrong. Sorry I can't help with doing this on a mac - I'm a pc user. You could have a look ...

I was assuming that redsonja84 was using a conventional (analogue) mic. rather than a USB mic (due to the reference to "jack plug"), but the rest of alatham's comments are good. In particular, some detail about the hardware and software that you are using. Does Audacity play back audio fil...

Is there a FAQ section for Audacity (all versions)? I can't find one, but I think one would make a useful addition to the forum. It could include things like: Getting started Save and Export Disaster recovery Selecting the correct soundcard input Latency correction strange noises on your recordings ...
