You can't repair crackling once recorded, but setting Audio to Buffer to 10 or 20 ms should help avoid crackly recordings in the first place. You should definitely use Audacity 2.1.0. It has a fix for an uninitialised audio buffer. Without the fix you may receive this type of crackling when playing ...

Please read the pink panel at the top of the page and let us know the required information. Ok I'm getting the problem when I mux two audio tracks together, say game audio and mic audio, even though I've lowered the game volume by 10dB and Mic audio to max, if I output both tracks into the same file...

You must play the song or content on the Realtek Speakers device and you must turn the speakers and audio player volume up. That is, you cannot (easily) silence the song or co...

But you also said: recording is being skipped each time and it seems to happen all through the recording. So I assumed you were only spot-testing in...

See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/file_export_dialog.html . In the Export Audio dialog, click where it says "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM" and choose "MP3 files". Then click Options... if you want to change the MP3 export bit rate. If clicking the WAV choice does noth...

Thank you so much for the reply and for removing my email. When I play back my voice over recording through my headsets only the left side plays sound as well. I will change it to mono. Audio host is set to core audio which is the only option given. I just want to make sure I am doing this correct ...

Audacity > Preferences... then the Recording section. Set Audio to buffer to 10 milliseconds. If that does not record consistently, increase the setting to 20, then 30 until it records properly. That lower setting should fix the playback issue. If that does not help, please say exactly what you are ...
