Re: How to put Audacity in your dock and use microphone in 10.15 Catalina

I tried both methods... The workaround that has been tested and found to work for most Catalina users is this one: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=107162 My advice for the few that this workaround does not work for, is to wait for Audacity 2.4.0 to be released (scheduled for...

Re: Can't Record Second Track in Win 10

There's got to be a reason. Pod Farm probably requires ASIO for reasonable performance, but Audacity uses WDM drivers (not ASIO). If you wish to use Pod Farm, you will probably need to use recording software that supports ASIO (such as Reaper, Cubase, Sonar, Ocenaudio, Presonus Studio One, Cakewalk...

Re: Can't Record Second Track in Win 10

I posted back in June about this issue. Yes, here: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=372465#p372465 where you said: I might have solved the problem. Just for an experiment I bought a Behringer UMC22 interface. It's only 60 bucks and I knew I could return it. Well.... It works just fine...

Re: Please check sound quality and advise

Dead link for me too. You can upload a short sample (just a few seconds) in WAV format, directly to the forum. See: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 (for questions about sound quality, we just need to hear a short, representative sample in a high quality format - WAV is ...

Re: Passing RMS on Audacity 2.1.1

I personally feel my volume is still too low. Fortunately, ACX provide a reasonably clear specification of what they want - and it's not "loud". They require an RMS level between -23 to -18 dB RMS. To measure the RMS level of your recording, select the track, then run the "Contrast&q...

Re: Audacity looks really bad with Breeze Dark + menu bar resizing

No surprise there ;) Here's how it looks instead with the dark theme That looks much better to me. If you are really bothered by appearances, you could create a custom theme. See: ...

no, its a desktop actually......
Interesting - so how exactly did you manage to record sound playing on the computer with MME? Was your USB mic plugged in? Does your computer have a built-in mic? Does the Windows Sound settings offer a "Stereo Mix" option?
