Re: Preamp signal low

I think I would go with the tape output. I run out of the DAT output, analog signal to DAT recorder, from my Technics SUx902 which is a combined pre/power amp - but I believe the DAT output is fed from the pre-amp not the power amp. With the TT plugged to the phono in of the amp. This gives me good ...

Re: Newbie: Stops recording after a few minutes

My ION worked fine with both 1.2 and 1.3 - better with 1.3 When I first used Audacity, it did stop occasionally - but I followed advice from the forumn which was to: 1) make sure I had plenty of free discspace 2) defragged the disc (Windows user) 3) stopped as many background programs as possible. S...

Re: Trying to record cassettes from an old PC.

Also, ensure that you play the tape back with the same Dolby setting that it was recorded with.

Re: using Presonus Firebox, can't get input 2 to work

I read that Audacity isn't compatible with ASIO - is this correct? IIRC from reading other posts on the forum, the reason that ASIO is not supported is down to IPR licensing issues. I think that you can reconfigure/recompile Audacity to work with ASIO. Try searching the forum for advice - or maybe ...

Re: Correction of clipping?

Basically no - once youv'e got clippping, youv'e got clipping. You must avoid it in the original recording - that's what the meters are there for. Do you realize that in 1.3 you can drag the meter toolbar down to below the main toolbar and then stretch it out - I have mine stretched across the whole...

Re: Those dinky meters

It would be nice to see a meter configuration option in a future release to allow permanent selection of a larger meter display. And I agree with your disagreement regarding the term "worthless." Usage of the tiny meters is more or less awkward... very awkward. For some reason this thread...

Re: Recording From Vinyl

Agreed Mick - I started off with a USB TT (the ION) it did a reasonable job - and I had no problems with the USB connection at all. In the end though I got fed up with the amount of wow&flutter that I got on some recordings (almost certainly down to the extremely lightweight plastic playyer on t...

Re: mp3 to aup

Should work fine if you have a proper MP3 - it won't work if you have an AAC file say (from iTunes)

Re: Telling Audacity to stop recording

John, AFAIK 1.3 can do everything that 1.2.6 does and much more - though 1.3 does somethings in a slighly different way to 1.2. The allleged benefit of 1.2.6 is that it is the officially declared stable version. I personally have been using 1.3.x for LP concersion/cleanup for several months now and ...

Re: Producing CDs for sound system play

russell, You neeed to burn a music CD and not a data CD. You will need some cd burner software for this like Nero or RecordNow etc - even iTunes can be used to burn CDs from playlists. I suspect that you have just been dragging and dropping the WAVs onto the CD - in which case you will definitely ha...
