Audacity Forum

Your input device looks fine as the USB device. For the output device I would target the Realtek directly. And can you select Windows Direct Sound as the host rather than MME.

If you want best-in-class click/pop removal from vinyl try Brian Davies' excellent ClickRepair- it costs a little but is well worth it in terms of time save and becauuse of just how well it works. See this sticky thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1994

It's almost certainly not an Mp3 (more likely an MP4/AAC from iTunes?). Audacty 1.2 does that wwith files it can't support - 1.3 at least gives you an error message. There is extended audio file support in 1.3 if you also load the Ffmpeg library. You can get 1.3 from here: http://audacityteam.org/do...

Actually you can either Save the Audacity Project or Export an audio file for use in other software and players - see thsi article from the 1.3 manual which explains about projects and save versus export: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects There is a longstanding feature request to...

So for now, if you are using 1.3.13 continue to use the Amplify function. Personally, even with Normalize fixed in 1.3.14 I find myself still preferring to use th...

No help for the current project - but I would always make sure that you create and use a separate file area on your disk to work with and store your Audacity projects. The desktop is one of the worst places to use to store files. I have a folder for Audacity projects, sun folders for input source LP...

looks like somebody's already done most of the work for you: New Gold Dream see this YouTube vid for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twQ5mdadavM On Melancholy Hill YT has this instrumental vn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjQsXjV1yBs and this Karaoke vn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfC...

(you would think with today's technology some sort of software could take apart songs) :lol: Some posters on the forum have likened it to taking the chocolate out of a chocolate cake or the milk out of a cup of tea/coffee. Once the tracks have been mixed down ito a stero pair it can be next to impo...

Also try cleaning the tape transport mechanism, the capstan and the pinch roller - over the years the tend to acquire deposits shed from the tape.
