Re: Volume Control Function - Just dBFS?

I am using WASAPI in exclusive mode. The Roland ADC output level in dBFS and the Audacity data stream input level in dBFS match precisely when the 'volume control' is set at 100%. This is what I expect to see if Windows has no control over the bit depth of the data stream. Unity gain at 100% slider...

Why exactly are you not 100% sure? Windows should not be applying explicit sample rate or bit depth conversions.

Re: Bewildered with USB Cassette recording

See the Forum FAQ's for how to post: How do I post a topic in a forum? . I bought a USB Cassette Capture to transfer my audio cassettes to iTunes. I do...

Re: Mouse & Keyboard behaviour changed?

I agree with the OP. I've experience the same interruption in workflow. I do a lot of heavy editing and it's almost unbearable. Indeed I'd rather have the constant crashing back for the sake of being able to highlight and start/stop. I use Ubuntu and so it's a little tricky finding an older version...

Re: Volume Control Function - Just dBFS?

Is this done in Audacity before or after the conversion to 32 bit float? It's not done in Audacity at all. As Gale indicated, the slider is just an alias for the Windows volume slider. In other words, moving either slider makes the same change in the other. Many USB ports will apply significant pos...

Note though that you still have to go to Add/Remove Plugins and enable it.

Re: Volume Control Function - Just dBFS?

The Audacity volume control has the same effect that the Windows volume slider for the device does.

Some or most USB ports on Windows actually add gain, so the control is potentially needed.

Re: mixer + Audacity 2.1.2 on computer

Even with that adaptor, a TRRS input is a mic meant for computer mics (without the adaptor, for headset mics). It is totally unsuitable for stereo recording from a mixer or iPad. Thanks for the reply. So this adaptor should allow me to record to my computer even though it may not be in stereo? Mono...
