Hello, let me start off by saying thanks for Audacity, it’s an awesome program that I’ve used for a long time now. I had the 1.3 Beta on my laptop (Vista) and just recently got a new computer (Windows 7), so in that I had to upgrade to version 2.0 when re-downloading Audacity.
Anyway, to my point. So far I’ve had two concerns. Number one is this; when I record, my speakers play a very faint static-type noise. If I mute the speakers, I don’t hear the noise, but I do voice acting and I like to play my recordings back to myself. I don’t remember this ever happening on my laptop with 1.3 (same speakers used), but at the same time my laptop was slightly louder than this tower so maybe I never heard it. Noise Removal seems to deal with the issue without any trouble, but if I can simply… “Turn OFF Pointless Recording Noise”, that would be lovely. It’s not a vital problem, suffice to say.
My second issue is lesser, and it’s only happened once. When I was playing a recording back, sound simply went really quiet. Output volume in Audacity was at maximum, as was my computer’s and speakers’, it just suddenly dropped significantly. I had been playing the same recording back a couple of times when this suddenly occurred. My solution was to copy and paste everything into a new Audacity project, but I was wondering if there’s something about this I should know, or if it’s just a simple quirky glitch.
And also, this might be just me jumping the gun, but I feel like when it actually starts recording is a split-hair of a second past when I actually press record. It might be just me getting too eager and talking too soon, my solution was to just wait a second more before I start speaking which is fine, but I figured I’d mention it to ask if there was something about this I should know, if it’s either a fault with Audacity 2.0, or a setting I can mess with that I didn’t see.
Thank you for reading, and take care!
