Re: Martin Eastwood duet plugin

If you want to use Autotalent you should work on duplicates of the original song then mix the tracks together. All extreme pitch changes sound robotic or distorted. If you reduce the gain on the most pitch-changed tracks you may be able to mask the distortion. Did you try Audacity's Sliding Time Sca...

Re: recording electric guitar through usb

I went thru the wiki audacity webpage as you suggested and updated my sound driver. It now works but only for microphones plugged into the pink 3.5mm socket. Do you mean you have other inputs on the computer that don't show up in Windows or don't record? Or that you can't play audio to your built-i...

Re: Got some very annoying peaks. Cant filter them, help!

All repairs of clicks have the potential to degrade the recorded audio that you wanted to keep. Have you tried either increasing the priority of Audacity or reducing the priority of the game? See point 20) here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Managing_Computer_Resources_and_Drivers . How fast is ...

Re: Steve Harris' VyNil

Hi! I re-installed Linux Mint a little while ago, and didn't back up my Audacity plug ins. I've only ever downloaded Nyquist plug ins before, and I remember I had one called VyNil that I downloaded from this forum. I've been looking for it all day and I still can't find it! Every link I click leads...

Re: playback problems in Audacity 2.0.x

Is the M-Audio card a USB device? If so, do not connect it to a USB hub - connect it to an empty USB port. Have you visited http://www.m-audio.com/support/drivers to see if there are Mac drivers or firmware you should download for the card? Have you changed settings for the card somewhere before thi...

Re: Make "Sound Recorder" sound like studio?

I've been browsing around the site the last few days, and I've actually got Audacity set up to record Skype now. Then all I had to do was enable my mic to Listen to device, and I'm recording on it simultaneously with the Skype conversation. It will all be on one track, but I can do a sound check fi...

Re: Raw Import yields "loud" audio. Help me?

Raw never works. It depends on you telling it in fine detail how to open a file that you know nothing at all about. What happens if you install the FFMpeg software and then try a simple import? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown VOX ADPCM (if it really is...

Re: Which Interface: MME, Windows DirectSound or WASAPI?

In Win Vista and later, DirectSound is not directly implemented, it is a software emulation. Unless you have a good reason not to, I'd suggest sticking with MME for recording your cassettes. I agree, but MME is also emulated over WASAPI as far as I know. DirectSound was designed to have direct kern...

I do a silent record, but there was nothing. But on my lets plays are every time those peaks Can you explain more about what you are doing when you record with Yeti? Are you recording game audio and using Yeti at the same time to record a commentary? And if so (or whatever you are doing), how exact...
