Re: Help with new turntable to play my records on iMac

I was recording well on my laptop but then something switched so that now I am not recording straight from the turntable. Instead I am recording the sounds in the room - the music coming out of the speaker, background noise, etc. I must have hot something I was not supposed to hit. Any ideas? Pleas...

Re: recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24b

I had thought that in Preferences>Quality the "Default Sample Format" set to 24bit would mean it edited/processed at 24bit, but in fact even with Default Sample Format set to 24bit it will still edit/process at 32bit... I think I'm a bit confused as to why you can change it to 16bit or 24...

Re: recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24b

I'm not sure what happens if you used the new "WASAPI loopback" for recording, but if you recorded using "Stereo Mix" the digital stream is converted to analogue by your sound card, then converted back to digital and sent on to the recording program ("Audacity" in this...

Re: recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24b

Audacity's dither is louder than the floor of the dB range. 24-bit shaped dither is at about-92 dB and 16-bit shaped dither is at about -73 dB. Umm, it looks like those figures are a bit high, compared to the test of "fading in" absolute silence, but the dither levels can get that high in...

Re: Отключить воспроизведение по кругу

Я не говорю по-русски. Если вы нажмете воспроизведение затем нажмите Пауза, релиз Пауза (нажмите еще раз), чтобы возобновить воспроизведение с точки паузы. Или используйте SHIFT + A на клавиатуре, чтобы остановить и установить курсор в точке остановки. Тогда кнопку воспроизведения будет играть с мес...

Re: Having problems recording with Samson C01U

I am not really aware of a specific problem with Windows 8 and USB microphones - do you have a reference? Have you tried the Samson on another computer since you stopped using your old laptop? Unless you are telling us that Windows Sound Recorder does not have the level problems with the USB mic and...

Re: iPod playback problems

The version of audacity used was 2.0.3 and the mac OSX version 10.8.5 If I get a later version of audacity are you suggesting I won't have the problems with the iPod ? I suggest you upgrade to the latest 2.0.5 anyway for all the fixes and feature improvements over 2.0.3. The specific issue addresse...
