Audacity Forum

You asked what my playback and recording devices are. I'm merely using my (several years old) MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.4 GHZ. Do you have any external sound cards connected such as USB or Firewire Sound interfaces? It might be an idea if you choose Help > Audio Device Info... in Audacity, drag-select ...

Artcessories PhonoPlus has a good report on http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recommended_sound_devices#USB_Interfaces and I have seen other good reports, except for complaints that the USB input is too loud. I spent a few minutes on Google and could not find anything that described unbalanced sound...

It's not my type of music but it certainly sounds fuzzy to me and not loud enough for the density of sound. Look in Analyze > Plot Spectrum. Why is there nothing above 15000 Hz? If you are using MP3 sources for the songs you shouldn't. The issue at 30 seconds sounds like what you get from using low ...

I've experianced similar issues where old Audacity files I ahve waiting to edit and export play all funky when playing them back. Even before downloading the new version here. No other changes took place, same equiptment and everything. Even new recording with the 2. version are sounding weird. Sta...

If we were to provide "1 channel (mono)/ 2 channel" options for all formats, then the obvious place would be in the Export dialogue: Channels: Default (mono or stereo to match the project) Force mono file Force 2 channel file Use custom mix Yes something like that is what I would have in ...

The "it wasn't such a problem" sounds far quieter than "to my next point" to me, How strange. I've tried listening on two different pairs of speakers and those two phrases sound to me to be virtually identical loudness. I guess we already knew that "loudness" is subjec...

Throwing in another (closely related) item. I recall several topics where users specifically want to export a 2 channel file, even if the project is mono. Reasons for this include using CD burning software that requires stereo WAV, and another was "my client requires a 2 channel WAV file"...

My workaround did not work today. However, I discovered another possible workaround: 1. Open a Firefox tab and play a YouTube (Flash) video. Leave the tab open. 2. Go to the Firefox tab that contains the Vimeo video. Play the Vimeo stream and record the audio normally with Audacity. For some reason...

I am guessing they would select that "Mono" button when they have a mono track (making two steps) even though they could use "Stereo" or "Joint stereo" We usually go to a lot of effort to label things so that even the most "novice" of users can understand the...

Accidentally turning it on is certainly a possibility Gale. But in hindsght something I had forgotten is the more likely cause. It was a very brief overnight flirtation with an unoffical user compiled Asio version of Audacity. This must have had 'automatically fit tracks' enabled which reset the re...
