Audacity Forum

It's the analog-to-digital converter that gets clipped so you have to control the analog level before it's digitized. An attenuator between the preamp and USB interface should help if you don't want to buy an interface with a level control. the Beatles White Album You know... That's available digita...

Make sure that both Windows and Audacity are configured for 2-channel stereo. [Corrected - Thanks, Jademan!]

It's probably a Windows setting. There is some information here.

Is there a way to just CUT THE SOUND when the audio channel is under a certain level of decibels ? There is an effect called a Noise Gate that does exactly that. But don't use too much level reduction because it will sound unnatural with the background sound/noise cutting in & out. This mic is real...

I don't have a specific microphone recommendation but the most common type of mic for voice and almost anything else in a pro studio is a cardioid (directional) large diaphragm condenser mic .

There are some suggestions here . ...Usually the problem is "something else" interrupting the audio or "hogging" the system for a few milliseconds too long, and you get ...

Audacity can't "control" the Interface. It just "captures" (records) the digital audio stream. I assume it will work and of course the front-panel controls on the interface will still work. I don't know what Focusrite Control does so I don't know what features/functions you'll be missing... There ar...
