Record and play on the fly with a certain delay

Audacity Help Forum Windows

Hi;

Thank you for the software.

I’d like to do the following, Record audio from a microphone and then play it while recording with a given delay. Say 500ms.

Example: I Say “Hello”, Audacity records it, adds a 500 ms delay and plays it. All while still recording.

Can it be done? I went to Preference → Recording → Activated Software Playthrough then increased the Latency and Latency Correction to 0 or -10 or any number, but it doesn’t work it, no matter what number I enter.

Thank you very much.

I’ve not tested it, but perhaps this program: http://www.fountainware.com/Products/AudioDelay/

I was designing a call-in transmission test bench and I would have killed to be able to do that. Sadly no. Audacity will not perform tricks while recording. It’s the same reason we can’t apply filters and effects during record.
