Also, as an update, I added that line of code to Audacity and now it let's me export things to the 'My Documents' folder but if I try to switch to any other location that isn't a folder within 'My Documents', it crashes. I normally save my things in the 'My Music' folder so it would be nice if I co...

That didn't change the damaged-and-trash-it message. Is Apple Security (Preferences, Mountain Lion) discriminating against LAME? LAME is only for exporting MP3 files. You could open FInder, Go > Utilities > Disk Utility > then run "Verify Disk" and "Repair Permissions". I think ...

Generally it's best to record at the same rate as the device to prevent un-necessary resampling (assuming as Steve says that the computer can keep up with the rate). OK, but then, why when I record at 48K (the Gtrack's rate) and then listen through its output, I get a choppy track, but when I recor...

Gale, I'm so sorry (or stupit!).. "Select the "Windows WASAPI" host in the first box of Device Toolbar". Where? The leftmost box called "Audio Host" in Device Toolbar . Yes you can record poor quality computer playback from the built-in mic, but who wants to do that? G...

The Blue Icicle does not appear to have a headphones output so you will only be able to monitor yourself using software playthrough in Audacity and you will therefore hear yourself late. If you don't record your singing over a music track and don't want to hear yourself in headphones while recording...

I do export with the same filename as the previous file I worked on sometimes. While it is intended that you can do that (which makes the failure a bug), it's not recommended. Traditional file systems lock a file while it's open and being used and for good reason. This particular bug doesn't occur ...

If I were to get an XLR to USB Shure X2U, I can connect this one to a free USB port on my computer. Meaning that the Shure X2U has phantom power integrated? Yes X2u provides the required phantom power - see http://www.shure.com/americas/products/accessories/microphones/microphone-problem-solvers/x2...

I have said what I would do - record with Audacity using Soundflower as the input, or pay for a Skype recording application. If your Audacity recording input is a mic, you cannot reliably record the other party to the call (because the only input is the mic - you). Koz means that when you use the in...

I am having a similar issue to this, and your response regarding Time Shift is relevant to me. I am using Audacity 2.0.3 on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and am importing tracks from my iTunes library, adding voiceovers and fading into other tracks, so I am importing 3 or 4 different m...

I assume T-Bone are headphones but if so I don't see what that has to do with it. We're not disputing you hear distortion on combined tracks. I for one question plugging an amplifier into a mic port which is what you said. It could create problems that are only audible when combining the tracks. Doe...
