Re: Mystery of the tiny waveform and intermittent 1000 hz to

If we go through the Griffin iMic we lose the boost setting, and our signal is much weaker. I thought iMic gave you a recording gain control in Windows? To check, right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose "Recording Devices". Right-click over the iMic then choose ...

Re: Blank spots recording Skype

Just to give you more options, you could try Microsoft Expression Encoder Screen Capture http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10732 then you edit the video in Windows Movie Maker and save the audio out of it. Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like only the free version of Expre...

Re: Editing a song with video and Movie Maker

The difference in length between video and song is too extreme to speed up the song. If you want to shorten the song (making it roughly the first 17 seconds and the last 17 seconds) rather than extend the video, I suggest you export a WAV version of the song then upload the WAV to one of these sites...

Re: Recording from internet

It's better to start a a new topic with a relevant title so we can concentrate on your specific circumstances. I did that. Just installed Audacity 2.0.0 and Pavucontrol , Pulse audio and VLCmedia player. All of these were suggested as necessary to record from the internet. I have dual Windows and Ub...

Re: Inserting pauses to aid transcription.

This is a simple effect that inserts silences at regular intervals into a track. Hi Steve, I tried this plugin several times, but each time when remaining time is down to zero, runtime continues and basically no pauses have been inserted. I do have plenty of RAM available. Has anyone else experienc...

Re: Editing a song with video and Movie Maker

I've struggled for over 6 months trying to figure out how to edit the song down in Movie Maker. Audacity Team does not make Movie Maker and does not offer support for it. Microsoft offers support for Movie Maker. You can visit http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/moviemaker?tab=Thre...

Re: Unbalanced input signal

Just tested the ART with my ancient XP desktop. Input from a commercial CD. Still unbalanced with the left channel louder by approx 3 db. So is the ART faulty? A balance difference of 3 dB is not that unusual with USB devices and acceptable if the level is decent. What is the level like on XP, and ...

Re: Unbalanced input signal

What's the possibility you can plug these things into a different computer? I will try that today. Sigh. Another day lost trying to test these things. How good are the Apple sound cards that came with the computer? Good, and probably better than the average built-in sound device on an entry-level W...
