Koz's famous "duelling posts". I wasn't told Steve had posted, although I previewed.

If the recording has dropouts where something was spoken but not captured, that can't be corrected and needs to be fixed before recording. Some people use limiting to deal with spikes. If there are "mouth smacks" there is an experimental De-Clicker for speech plugin. There is Change Tempo ...

If your computer is a branded model, it has a built-in sound card on the motherboard. What Koz is saying is that lots of users connect line-level (strong signal) outputs to microphone ports on computers or sound cards because that is the only input, but it's often the wrong input. Mic inputs are wro...

@Gale Reinstalling after removing this repo didn't change nothing. Exactly what did you reinstall? You could uninstall the Ubuntu 2.1.2 repo version and install the 2.1.2 Ubuntu Handbook version. You could open a terminal, type: aplay -l hit ENTER and post what that says. See aplay man page . You m...

There is nothing to recover as far as Audacity is concerned.

If your Mac uses an older spinning disk drive, you could try disk recovery software. Install that application on and recover to another drive. Don't be surprised if there is nothing to recover.

This may be why you have no recording devices. Also you have selected Display Audio as your playback de...

As Koz said, you have to choose the correct recording device in Audacity's Device Toolbar. For recording computer playback, that probably means choose Windows WASAPI host and the (loopback) recording device for the same device you are playing the sound on.

I've been using Audacity 2.1.2 with Windows 10 for weeks now with no issue, however I sat down to record some audio with my normal set up and Audacity simply wouldn't record, I clicked the record button and got zero movement from my soundbar. What is the make and model number of the microphone? I w...

I use the built-in Windows Sound Recorder (yes, very primitive) for my side of the conversation, and Audacity - Stereo Mix for the incoming side of the conversation from Skype. So...please pardon the long intro - it's for anyone else doing the same thing. Here is my question: The volume at which Au...
