Re: Exported file won't play

I am trying to record live music using a USB microphone and I have tried this on two computers, both using windows 7 Professional, 32 bit version. After setting up the Audacity program for my microphone and speakers, I record a sound track. I can then play back the track and it sounds OK. I then go...

Re: 'static'-like noise generated in audacity

I think Andy said he didn't really know what he changed beyond installing pavucontrol. I see from a search that installing pavucontrol to fix audio problems on Kubuntu (Ubuntu using the KDE desktop instead of GNOME) is quite common, at least in so far as it can make hidden inputs appear. The proof w...

Re: DC offset trickery

Let's consider the "bassoon" "dc-offset-sample.flac" ( http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=195648#p195648 ) and "trumpet-offset-example.flac" ( http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=196369#p196369 ) . 99 users out of 100 would probably expect offset re...

Re: DC offset trickery

"Dynamic" is best if there is a changing bias. "Absolute" is marginally more accurate than "Dynamic" if there is constant DC offset (a "bias" is present that does not vary over time). "Absolute" is better that "High-pass" if there is const...

Re: DC offset trickery

Thanks for describing "non-linear gain". Here is the Sample Data Export (linear scale) for the waveform in my previous post: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=202646#p202646 Can you post a WAV file of that - it might be easier. Audacity DC Offset correction: 1 -0.15000 2 -0.050...

Re: Reverb in recording / Windows 8

reverb effect in the Voice Over I am trying to capture. Try turning off Windows (and sound card) effects and enhancements http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements .

Re: DC offset trickery

non-linear gain Thanks, Steve. This will have to be all explained in course of time to mere mortals (non-audio-engineers). Can you define "non-linear gain" concisely as part of that? Googling doesn't produce anything very usable. So, are we saying http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/fi...
