Audacity Forum

Your entire problem is odd, but this bit is really weird: and I can barely hear anything that comes through the line-in. I think this means that your sound card driver software did something funny. Why this would happen, I have no idea. Try recording using Windows Sound Recorder and see if you can g...

Are you clipping when recording? If so, turn the recording volume down.

What exactly is the 44100 sample rate? Does that mean it is recording up to 22050 Hz? I got the impression from another post/thread that halving the sample rate might give the range that was being recorded. Yes, that's correct. It's called the Nyquist Frequency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist...

The spectrum view is a tool like any other, so it's going to have different ideal settings for different purposes. For your purpose, I'd set the FFT size to 4096, and the limits of the frequency should be 0 -> 22050. That's the highest accuracy setting, and is the most accurate way to find pops and ...

That is totally awesome. I always knew preachers were actually robots. A quote from this page: http://floorten.com/voices.htm I used to say as a joke that the BBC only ever had one effect which they used to do all their "alien" voices. This isn't of course strictly true. They've had two ef...

You'll have to cut each line of dialogue into it's own clip. Audacity 1.3.3 allows you to Split tracks into segments that can be shifted independently. It'll take awhile, but split each line of dialogue off from the rest of the track by highlighting what you want and pressing [ctrl]+i, then go throu...

What I thought to do was: import them all, amp all together, then re-export them. And I want the original time lengths of each file reproduced in the re-export. This is impossible due to the nature of MP3 encoders. But if you don't mind a tiny bit of added silence then read on. You'll want to use A...

Is the recording volume turned up? It's on Audacity's main screen, with a small mic icon next to it.

If that's not it, can you record using a different audio recording program like Windows Sound Recorder?

It sounds like the Mic isn't set up correctly in your OS.

It's called Audacity.cfg. Try doing a search for it.

So you're trying to record video and audio at once?

You're gonna have some trouble, I think. I may be wrong.

It's probably best to record the video separately. And then record with Audacity while the video is playing to do the voice over (wear headphones).
