Re: Audacity won't start / You Tube videos won't play

Yes, the iMic is the final part of the chain that sends audio into the computer. I tried installing the latest version of Audacity from the Audacity website but again I was unable to get Audacity to start. Did you make sure to tick (check) the box "Reset Preferences" half way through the ...

Re: Recording Tapes To Computer

Thanks for the reply! I changed the toolbar to '1(mono) Recording' like you highlighted in your post (Core Audio, Built-In Output, Built-In Microphone don't have options to switch), and connected the cord from the microphone input of the tape player to the headphone input of my iMac desktop, presse...

Re: Record audio from YouTube video - Windows 7

I just want to convert some "sleep whisperer" YouTube videos to audio, like this one -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxeJVoLZN3A -- so I can put them on a CD and get some sleep. Surely there's a way. Rather than record the audio as it plays, you can download the audio of the videos dir...

Re: 2 second of silence

everything is set to 44.1. Still the same result. I have the feeling the problem is somewhere inside the Mac, that USB is not a permanent connection. Is that possible? Mac's under later OS X have aggressive power management. You could try right-click or control-click over Audacity.app > Get Info an...

Re: NO AUDIO RECORDING INTO AUDACITY

(yes, with a TRS > XLR adaptor). While you can do that, I believe you can push a 1/4" plug directly into the middle of the XLR-3 female. They're combo connectors. Yes, the 6i6 manual ( http://d3se566zfvnmhf.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/focusrite/downloads/9439/scarlett6i6-user-guideen.pd...

Re: Recording won't start [SOLVED]

Hello Gale, I forgot to tell you that I'm using Audacity 2.0.6 on Windows 7. But you gave me the right solution. Indeed Transport Overdub was checked. The rest of options was unchecked. So, I uncheked Overdub . And that it was! Recording is already possible! I'm glad it's solved, though all that un...

Re: Latency and Sound Problems

I have attempted to download the updated version of Audacity you posted links to, but unfortunately, having tried both links and downloaded the contents, the version of Audacity posted will not open. Instead I receive a message stating that Audacity cannot be opened because the identity of the deve...

Re: Latency and Sound Problems

Attached are the two crash reports that I experienced from Audacity shutting down on its own. We've just noticed that although you said you have been using 2.0.6, you've actually been using 1.3.13, which is very old now. As 2.1.0 should be out very soon I would suggest you use this 2.1.0 pre-releas...

Re: Help installing LV2 plugins

it appears that your link you've given me it's what I was looking for. In this file there are some folders and I think inside the folder "Plugins" is what I'm searching, the lv2 plugins. But now, I tried to copy this folder which includes several plugins, like "alias-swh.lv2" or...
