Re: Messed Up Vinyl

3) Is there a better program I can use to import the further recordings I make (the one thing the program I use has going for it is that it splits each side of the record up into the individual songs) Yes ... Audacity. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tutorial_-_Copying_tapes,_LPs_or_minidis...

Re: recording device channels 1 mono only choice

... I do NOT get any sound from the computer speakers. Then I push the record button and I can see the waveforms in the bottom window, BUT I still do NOT get any sound from the speakers. Then I click to reset to the start mark and click play and it starts playback BUT I still do NOT get any sound f...

Re: Recording from vinyl

Could be a bad USB connection - check the plugs and cables.

Re: HELP - set up to RECORD streaming on Audacity Beta probl

Another option is to use "Total Recorder" http://www.highcriteria.com/ It's not free, but at under $20 it's not expensive (free trial available). My wife's new laptop with W7 couldn't be configured with Audacity to record streaming audio - so she bought Total Recorder and is delighted wit...

Re: finding clicks/pops

I (and BillW) both use ClickRepair, $40, but worth every penny - see this sticky thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1994

Re: I can't find "Undo Recording"

I still can't find any button to undo a test recording or any recording I don't want to keep. The "Undo" button doesn't do this job. It would be neat to delete something fast with one click. 1) You can delete/remove a whole trrac by clicking in the X at the top left of its Track Control P...

Re: Some clipping after normalize

... there are strongly held opinions about how much (if any) headroom is given to the final mix. While working on this (updating the docs and preparing a proposal for the Wiki) I had occasion to re-visit 1.2 Audacity. I note that in 1.2 Dominic Mazzoni (one of the originators of Audacity) had the N...

Re: Adding L and R channels together ???

I am about to start on some 78 rpm transfers. I have a 1946 EMG electric gramophone (real valves!) which has variable speed and uses thorn needles. An electronic wizard friend has extracted the output from the preamp stage (and isolated it safely!)and so I can feed a properly equalised signal of th...

Re: I think this forum has been hacked into

Richard, yes the forum elves have recently become aware that spammers are abusing the PM system in that way. The particular user that sent you a PM has been deleted along with all of his/her posts. Thanks for alerting us to this. If this persists we may have to consider withdrawing the PM functional...

Re: Adding L and R channels together ???

Most USB sound cards will record only the left channel if you select "1 channel (mono)" in Audacity, but I think that some internal sound cards will mix left and right input channels when "mono" is selected. Ah that's interesting - as you know I run a USB soundcard and it does j...
