Free Recording Software: Audacity Tutorial Part 1

[acajudi100]

Thank you

[ratonL]

Can you hear the first recording while you record the second? I've been meaning to make a song but if I can't hear my first layer, it's quite difficult to record the second trying to sync them both. I'm not sure if this is how the program itself is, or just that it needs some tweaking of my part. I've tried with the latter, but haven't found anything that could solve my problem yet...Thanks!

HI DAVE ANDREW!!

[HealingCoachOrg]

Very nice! What we really need is a video on VOLUME CONTROL in 1.3 for Windows 7 for voice podcasting purposes. I get different volume each time I turn on Audacity and I am not making changes I know of. Mostly the problem is too LOW volume and no way I can find to increase recording volume in Aud or thru Cntl Panel. I've also had the opposite problem of too high volume creating distortion in playback. A mystery so far.

[CarpenterBabe]

what kind of microphone was he using?

[nazerbs]

His voice bores my tba

[ROBLOXingHabbo]

David is amazing.

[Megamaster219]

@vapors420 I heard of something called VirtualDub that might help. My favorite youtuber uses it.

[shree2018]

Can I use audacity to add audio to my microsoft powerpoint presentation slides?

[hauribest]

Can i listen to my first recording and record at the same time?

[Gregoses]

@hauribest you have to allow playing the first track while recording a new one somewhere in the options

[1212yamum1212]

@hauribest

yep :)

[Apebamsen1991]

I have a huge problem here ;/ i'm doing some background play on a song, but after i click the record button, then the song wont make any sound. I cant do any timing if the song doesn't make any sound when I hit the Record button... !!!!!!!

[corporacionmonstruo]

CAN I RECORD GUITARS WITH THIS?

[BlueStreak440]

@corporacionmonstruo Yes, you can.

[bryanp311]

@corporacionmonstruo Yes! all you need to do is get a mixer, and a 2 end patch cord. One end will go in your output on your mixer, and the other end you will put in your computer's sound card or even in the mic. plug on your pc. You can get the right cord at like radioshack, or some place like that. you can run your guitar directly into the mixer, or run an amp into the mixer.

[1212yamum1212]

@corporacionmonstruo

yes, yes you can...i recording with my Epiphone Studio :3

[metachozoite]

can i direct record from my boss me 70s recording out put and not have a usb mic?

[jacosr]

How can I fix the "latency" problem?

I try to record an over dub of a second vocal line but the delay is just impossible to negotiate.

[getitup100]

Dave

I do the same as you with a mike but I get a delay when I play

I lay a guitar track then record bass and get a delay that messes the finished product up

Any sugeestions

Dave also

[KosmicFlux]

@getitup100 I get that same delay. You have to use the Time Shift tool to sync the tracks up after recording.

[iriscnance]

I am doing a recording and the first part of the recording is cut off. What can I do to fix that? I need just a little empty space before the recording. Thanks!

[22483511]

@iriscnance To give yourself abit of space at the start of your recording -

Place the cursor on the timeline where you want the music to start then go to

PROJECT > ALIGN TRACKS > ALIGN WITH CURSOR

[alexguest]

Still more "thanks bwana." When I was a kid, all regular mortals could do was record sound. With you're help I feel like Gene Wilder's Dr. Frankenstein, unleashing the power of heaven for my own ends. Metaphorically.
