Audacity Forum

I just wanted to take a moment to thank stevethefiddle for being realistic and actually understanding my initial expectations and respecting my price range. Stevethefiddle, You are correct when you say "I want less crappy set up then my original really crappy set up." That was the entire reason I ha...

I think what most people here on this forum can't seem to comprehend is my initial expectations. I'm being told they are too high for my price range but they are not. I basically told you in my first post that I'm willing to live with what most professionals would consider "crap" because I don't nee...

Hey, well I was thinking if I connected the guitar amps headphone jack to the line in on the UCA202 USB adapter and then the usb obviously into the computer.... anything that would come out of the amp speakers would be inputed and recorded onto the computer. So couldn't I just buy a microphone and c...

Hey, well I do have another question... I am planning on buying an amp for my guitar. It has a pick up in it so no worries there. Of course my price range for the amp is going to increase. Anyways, is there a way I can connect my amp to my computer and use it to record? Even if I need a new sound ca...

Whomper, I never said I wanted a recording studio... I want my recordings to sound slightly better if at all possible... so the idea of screwing around with the room and stuff is out of the picture. I just want a simple set up thats even 2 % better than mine now. I don't need a professional set up. ...

So what your saying is that the cheapest method for me would be to simply get a decent USB microphone and record that way instead of directly connecting the guitar to the laptop? PS: Would a decent microphone produce less hiss then my crappy 20 buck one?

Thanks,

Sure.... if I can get a decent setup which may include a better microphone for 50 bucks I am happy. Again, I am not looking for the best... but my mic is only like 20 bucks so its kinda crappy. The cables shouldn't be too expensive but I don't even know how well it would work given the fact i need t...

I am using a standard computer microphone. My acoustic actually has a pick up in it... I herd it was possible to buy a cable that connects from the guitar into my microphone jack on my computer.... I'd need to amp the audio obviously in Audacity..... but would that be better for reducing hiss? The o...

Hey, I am using 1.3.12... and still having the same issue. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Hey, I am trying to do some guitar recording on my acoustic. When I record my audio has terrible noise (hiss.) I used audacity's noise removal feature and it did remove the hiss however it added a very annoying watery sound that fades in and out.... it makes the audio sound terrible... I'd rather th...
