I would try to have the camera and microphone about 1.2 metres away from me. If I buy that microphone where I can raise the incoming volume by +20 dB, do you think that will help with the signal-to-noise ratio? It WILL help overcome any preamp noise in the camera. (That's assuming the preamp built-...

The ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is inside the amp and you normally have to adjust/control the analog volume before it's digitized. You can boost after recording with the Amplify effect but if it's WAY to low there could be other issues. Does turning-up the amp make the recording louder? I am u...

WAV files can be multi-track, but are you actually recording multi-track files? Or are you mixing multiple stereo or mono WAV files? If you are comfortable backing-up your projects and keeping the file structure straight you should be OK and you WILL have a back-up! The main idea is to make sure you...

I'm sure Carbonite can read/write ANY computer files. The "catch" is an Audacity Project has a particular file-folder structure with many small files and people often mess things up when moving or sharing projects. And, I always export to WAV whether I make a project or not (and most of the time I'm...

Yes, loopback . There's nothing wrong with WASAPI (as long as it works in your situation). WASAPI is the "latest & greatest". MME is the oldest and I think Direct Sound was introduced with Windows 95. Loopback is like the old "What-U-Hear" and it's recording/capturing what's going into the playback-...

It's usually better to post a new question when the old post is soooo old! ;) When you export, after you select WAV you should see a "Encoding" drop-down box where you can select the bit depth. The 32-bit float option is for internal/temporary processing. ...There are advantages to processing in flo...

You usually don't know what Windows is doing... I just did an experiment and I got some screwy results - I generated a 1kHz sine wave file file and a 50kHz file at a sample rate of 192kHz. Then I ran Amplify at -50dB twice (to get below the -96dB 16-bit limit) and exported as 24-bits. I played the f...

It's on the lower-right corner of your screen. The thing you left-click to adjust the volume from Windows.

curtisfullmvgaya , I've never used Nyquist and I've never done any audio programming, but I have done quite a bit of programming in various languages. The "trick" is to start with something simple that works and "develop" your code a little at a time, testing and debugging as you go. So start with a...

It could just be a link to the web page.

What's the file size and playing time?
