Audacity Forum

I did an example of using two USB microphones with a Mavericks MacBook Pro. I have not seen these tools in earlier OS-X versions, so you do need OS-X 10.9.x. Aggregate Devices was apparently introduced in OS X 10.4. It was hidden in the "Audio" menu in Audio MIDI Setup: http://www.soundon...

sorry, perhaps I didn't explain it well, but there' s no contradiction, as what you quoted me saying is exactly what happens. If I play an audio file from my hard drive, OR from the web, and I choose Stereo Mix I get the hollow sound. If I play it via my PC's line out (which goes through a stereo a...

If I want to "normalize" my 24bit recording (set at 24bit default) will this dither? Yes, any Normalize operation will add dither noise because the audio is being processed at 32-bit float then downconverted to return to the track at 24-bit. Any process that recalculates the amplitude val...

Further to Koz's answer, the following might help you for final export if the problem is that space between time zero and the start of the audio was removed in the export. To solve that, select a little audio starting at time zero and Generate > Silence. The selection does not need to go all the way...

I am trying to create a cd with parts of 2 different songs for a talent show. Do you mean you want to sing over the WAV files? Assuming y...

I tried playing the same audio from the web out of my PC (line out), which goes into my Stereo Amp, which then goes back into my PC (Line in) and when I record that using Line In in Audacity, it is fine! So, it's a "Stereo Mix" issue, but probably not an Audacity issue per se as it happen...

How does Audacity generate the name of the temp folder dir? project XXXX where XXXX is a number - is there some logic to it? The XXXXX is a random five-digit number. The machine in question is joined to a domain and users are domain users. Very occasionally, another user logs in and Audacity attemp...

Perhaps it is just that I am more used to working with high-end professional programs (such as those sold by Adobe) where error reports are accepted and fed into a major development resource. An error report of the form "do not work" would not be accepted by any technical support departme...
