Re: Saving project while recording?

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question. I've been using Audacity on and off for a couple of years, but now I intend to use it to record fairly long interviews or seminars for later podcast use. I'm a little stumped by the "Save" function in Audacity. It seems that you cannot save or re-save your p...

Re: budget (usb) mic for classical guitar recording needed

The worst curse of phantom power is not what happens when it's running, although that can be fun. When you turn it off, it dumps a sudden 48 volt charge into the amplifier system. This would be the delicate, noise tuned, super low distortion amplifier system. I can't find it immediately, but someon...

Re: budget (usb) mic for classical guitar recording needed

i ended up with two external interfaces that way :| but the extra software was a big plus and i *could* use one on the other pc i guess ...

Re: high pitched background noise

But there is something fundamentally wrong with your recording the 0.07second pulses every half second and the effect which follows half a second after you speak suggest to me that an AGC /compressor may be the cause.
