Audacity Forum

Gale Andrews thanks for trying to help so far. Could you talk me through what you just said as though I were a five year old with brain damage when you get a moment please? Or suggest somewhere I could read a walk through? I thought perhaps you would not want to take the drive out of the old comput...

Transcribers and language learners are not a minuscule proportion of users "relatively tiny" was the term I used, and I was referring to language learners, not transcribers + language learners. The essence of the requests are similar. Perhaps they could use the same code? Obviously, macro...

Your statements were not presented contextually, cyrano. ;) Could you give an example of a working Direct Sound recorder? My computer, for one. Uwe's bespoke recording device, for another. I already said that a few people have reported they can record more than stereo using Windows DirectSound and a...

Or, record through the silences and label the sounds or silences with Analyze > Sound Finder... or Silence Finder... . Are the silences very long? Why do you need wall-clock time? Is it a live YouiTube stream?

WASAPI loopback does (usually) record at a fixed level. You have not said clearly if you went to the computer manufacturer's site to obtain Windows 10 audio drivers. The drivers that Windows 10 finds may not be properly matched to your motherboard. You can import song files into Audacity rather than...
