  • I just spent like what $36 on FRAPS, then find out when trying to do a LP using a GBA Emulator, it doesn't pick up on the software. Now I have to use the shitty built in video recorder, and find out I'll have to pay ANOTHER 40 ish bucks to get this software. screw that.

  • Your'e computer is fricken loud!

  • it says no devices found in recording tab in preferences

  • Are you familiar with recording music from a mixer? I want to record a set using a Pioneer DJ mixer. How would I go about by doing so by using Audacity and my laptop?

  • Comment removed

  • how do you get the buzz out  of what you have recorded? did you use audacity to record this? cause you can hear buzzing in it as well...

  • @CloudyDayArt Ok so when pull down the device menu for the recording section under preferences, It's giving me a long list of nothing. So in other words my microphone isnt showing up as a device I can select. Also, my microphone uses a USB connection and my computer says its connected and working properly. What the hell do I do?

  • too many talk.. bored.!

  • Hello there !

    Well I wanted to ask you how to record our voice + a song's tune at the same time [ covering a song or so ] using Audacity ?

  • Everytime I record something everythign sounds like a robot voice :/ Im not sure if it has anything to do with my mic, its logitec and works fine on other things, does anyone know what I mean and help? :S

  • Guys, I need your help or I'll go crazy. I am trying to record my guitar and I have a problem with the tracks I can't solve. I record chords in the first track and when I'm recording solo guitar in the second track the music from the first is recorded there too. I hope you can give me advice as how to record rhythm ans solo independently.

  • I use Windows 7, and mine says I have no device. I should at least get mono out, but no... I could record no problem on XP.

  • @FicticiousAnimation Stereo Mix is off by default in Windows 7

  • @Arachi123 Thanks. ^^

  • You remind me of Milton from Office Space.

  • I'm trying to record with Apple Headphones that has a mic. I don't think audacity knows that it's a mic. Do you know how I can record? It keeps saying "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate." What do I do?!?!?!

  • @jinnybff , Ihave the same problome have you figured it out

  • @kylerthakreator NOPE. :/

  • how do i play the music while i sing to it !

  • this was really helpful thanks. I was using recordpad and that frustrated the fuck out of me!

  • he said quick tutorial didn't he

    lol man its 8:04 what the hell !!

  • @mhnasrallah1 maybe it seemed a little quick to him not realising it was 8.04 a simple mistake

  • @mhnasrallah1 , Ok, so it's relatively quick. ;-)

  • @CloudyDayArt Please help.I use an alesis mixer and am mixing my guitar through a marshall amp via a microphone into my laptop using earphones recording on top of simple backing tracks such as Guns n roses.The problem is that I can get the volume levels of the guitar and backing track level when recording then when playing back what I've played and mixed my guitar has got louder by at least 20% and the backing track is barely audible.I can't get the microphone level on Audacity any lower.

  • @CloudyDayArt do you recomend this for recordin ''songs'' .

  • A bit long winded loads, Just show how to do it. Thanks anyway.

  • Obviously we know how to download it now show us how to make a song dammit

  • I just recorded a track on Audacity, and it doesn't seem to recognize its existance. The save, edit, delete, etc buttons are all grayed out when I try to use them. Nothing seems to work. It is as if I never made a recording, except for the fact that I can see the audio bars and playback works fine. Help is appreciate.

  • @SeasonedSnooper I had this problem - very simple to solve. Basically, it won't edit if the audio is on record, play or PAUSE it will not allow you to do any editing. you simply have to press stop then it will no longer be all grey and you will be able to edit. Easy peasy. hth

  • I love Audacity! It's way more simple than those other recording programs... My cousin and I have a band with a few friends and were working on drum tracking right now and because of living in a small town with no studios/music stores around we had to make a ghetto ass rig with 4 Mic's channeling from the Myxer and PA into a laptop we have hooked up to his set and every mic picks up everything perfectly and sounds great!... THANK YOU AUDACITY!!! :)

  • What's a good mic to use? Anyone know?

  • @MrCrammer Shure

  • @Jenisparadies yes turtle beaches will

  • THANK YOU BRO !!! SAVED MY ASS

  • I got a problem that needs to fix

    HOW TO FIX

  • will turtle beackes work as a mic?

  • i like your poem

  • how do you put the songs you make on your ipod

  • guys make sure you click that arrow by the microphone and click on "monitor input". Your sound won't show up if you dont do that

  • i dont have a usb mic i have a mic that you plug into the headphone and microphone jack and its not working going mental

  • how come I cant see any recording device on mine?

  • nice vid

  • If you have a ps2 and your sister plays singstar

    Use the SingStar Microphone. I use it and it works Good Not Perfect Just Good

    I recomend this if you dont like spending moneys ;)

    1 - Click the little microphone on the bottom right of your screen

    2 - Go to the top left and click "Options"

    3 - Click "Properties"

    4 - Look for your sound driver's named and make sure its on input under "Mixer Device"

    5 - Check "Stereo Mix" in the box

    6 - Click "Ok" make sure mix is not on mute!

  • @crazypete3 Thanks for adding this. I need to do an update to the video as this one is over four years old now.

    Thanks! ~Will

  • @CloudyDayArt Your welcome, and it's fine as long as people know this it how to cure that annoying feature.

  • make a sound proof closet. Cheap and easy.

  • I have a problem...

    I recently bought a couple of new ecuipment to be able to record myself singing at home. The problem is that the finished product when im recording it with audacity does not at all have the same sound quality as if I plug in my headphones direclty into my soundcard(which I use through usb)without recording. There is nothing wrong with the mic, cables och sound card, but somehow then I record the quality seems to be quite shitty...What is the problem, and how do I solve it?

  • @blaxiie you're gonna need something like mixcraft 5 or pro tools. Audacity unfortunately is free for a reason, and that is that it might not produce the quality some people need. Give another software a try and message me if you have any other problems! :)

  • thanks this works!! im using turtle beaches and the mic is perfect. :) thumbs up so people can see that this really does work.

  • i recorded mine but i had alot of feedback for sum reason, like a ringing noise kinda like. how do i fix that?

  • haha i use a guitar hero mic

  • @ThomasHackzPS3 Skype.

    

  • why buy songs... be a twat :)

  • It works! Thank you!

  • this sucks.

  • nothing shows up in Device

    

  • fuck, i need a mic!!!

  • i have a computer not a laptop but i also have a turtle beach headset would that work as a mic?

  • @codkings97 turtle beach mic works and it works great! much better than one built into computer. highly recomend it if you have it. if not, then go spend $70 for the cheapest one lol.

  • And that's LISP-Land as in "with a listhp"

  • can you tell me how to record sound from the guitar to the audacity software . i keep trying it , but it does not record the sound of the guitar . instead it sounds like crap . i have all the things to record but i dont know why it dosen't work -.-

  • @SynsterTapp3r computer sound cards arent meant for recording guitar, go get yourself a real mic or recording software. Rock band mics are great for beggining

  • lol beautiful poem  :P

  • you sound like the stapler guy from office space.

  • it's hard to understand what you're saying when you speak quickly; ps I am English

  • @nayrbtruh - ha ha. :) Brilliant

  • @nayrbtruh what are you talking about

  • can i use headphones with the Mic on it from logitech

  • @myradark Yes

  • @PCFirstPerson aw thanks im pretty new to this

  • I didn't watch the whole video because I'm pressured for time and the answer may be in there but I'll ask anyway.

    I'm trying to record off my computer but wen I play it back it has a lower quality than when I originally recorded it. Anything I can do to fix it?

  • how can i use it to record from speakers?

  • @samsungprin If you're talking about recording as it's coming from the speakers, then you should play a song or something and as you are recording using Audacity, you should choose different sound inputs from the dropdown list seen right of the mouse at 2:58. I don't know why but this one is greyed out. Mine (and hopefully yours!) isn't.

  • @samsungprin Sir, if yoy know, speakers play sounds dont record sorry.

  • Yeah I want to record my voice but I keep getting a low sound if I replay it again. So when I play my recorded voice I barely hear what I said.

  • @dialgatron If you look at around 2:58 then the answer to your problem is solved.

  • @SirFair1 Thanks I must've overheard it or something thanks a lot!

  • @dialgatron same do you know how to fix that now? :(

  • i think this guy need to sleep.

  • if i have an instrumental can i just put that in the program and the wave links will so up or will i have to like rerecord it into the software(sorry if i dont make sense)

  • @smokeandmaintain1 its very easy, you can drag and drop, and the points will show once you zoom close enough

  • Question - i have used Audacity, recording cassette to disk and i think it is very good, BUT when i have recorded one tape and listen to it before putting onto disk i find the sound (when listening approx 45 minutes in) goes tinny and does not sound right, i tried various means to eliminate and improve with no joy, any ideas. Many Thanks.

  • your lisp is so adorable :P

  • @iHORTYxz XD

  • NO! THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME!

  • Hey Heres a questionj ok ive been trying to record vocals to an instrumental and after i finish the vocals are off timing with the instrumental..Have any tips anyone?

  • @twaan303 use a metronome with everything you do and set everything in relation to a click track, you can cut and paste and slide your stuff around and itll be in time. this is a really primitive method though im sure, theres gotta be a better way to do it. but hell if i knew what i was doing i wouldnt be on this video anyways! haha

  • @coheed987 thanks my recordred music sounds great!

  • Can someone tell me how to record another track while listening to the previous one WITHOUT the previous track being recorded as well...if this makes sense..DESPARATE HELP NEEDED!!!!

  • @leumas3891 use headphones

  • When I try to record and playback, I get some kind of high pitched whining sound.

  • @therunescapemasters1 same here bro!!!

  • i myself have audactiy and have no problems recording with it ..but my friend just gota new mic and we were using audacity temporarily , but when we record it sounds good then when we replay it is shifts time and pitch us up to high (sounds like chipmunks) so any help would be much appreciated

  • This guy's just.. awkward.

  • how ironic, you are giving a tutorial on how to RECORD AUDIO and the audio of this video (recorded) is all messed up

  • oh, and don't give me that "g look it up" crap. i have been looking it up and searching for answers for answers for AT LEAST six hours and i haven't found ANYTHING.

  • i have a question that is in desperate need of answering. how do i connect something like gearbox to audacity? i can open gearbox and audacity, but it doesn't pick up the guitar sound. i KNOW it's possible because my friend was over at my place for hours and he finally did it, but he didn't know what he was doing and was just clicking buttons. once i exited out of audacity and came back in it wasn't picking anything up again. PLEASE tell me how to fix this.

  • ah thanks a lot. i have a netbook and a usb microphone, i just needed to figure out how to get it to record through the microphone rather than the microphone in the computer.... thanks a whole bunch

  • Thank you for the free mu-, I mean, buy your music guys.

  • @MrBenlally lol i know right i just use the lame add on to get it in my ipod and mp3

  • I ordered an M-Audio USB Producer mic with a small version of Pro Tools. For some reason we keep running into unknown problems when trying to record with Pro Tools so we use Audacity now and it works fine for the time being. I have heard about "Sonar" or something like that... is it good?

  • what's the best equipment to use when recording from Audacity, 'cause today i'm using the microphone of my webcam and it still doesn't work. and when i use the speaker it doesn't work either. so what should i do ? could u help me out?
