Greetings, Is there any way to take an older (60's) recording and add more dynamics? Can you reverse compression? I want to lower the quietest parts and lift the loud parts, just a little. Haha...is this possible? Thanks for your patience if this is a ridiculous question.

Greetings, I have a good amount of HQ audio on thumbdrives. Right now I am plugging them into my Galaxy 7 phone, then the headphone OUT into a normal receiver. On the good side, the phone provides an interface to select files to play,...on the bad side, the DAC in the phone isn't great...

Greetings, I have a lot of HD music files on thumb drives. Currently I am using my Samsung Galaxy 7 phone to send the music into my stereo receiver (which doesn't have any USB port). The receiver plays through a very good set of speakers. What I want to do is somehow bypass the medium to...

I have a rare (but not in a good way) receiver. It has two sets of speaker outputs, each showing 4 contacts as: (1) red RIGHT, the (2) black COM, then (1) red LEFT.....for speaker pair ONE. I want to play a mono signal from the receiver through a single speaker. (Of course, I want...

Hope this turns out to be a wonderful year for all you/us audiophiles. My ?uestions: How short should a hand-clap echo be, in a room with reasonable acoustics? Is there any sound which could be used which would yield more info on this?...a finger snap, hitting two spoons together? Measuring...

I'm trying to simply connect a cassette deck to my PC (oh, just nevermind WHY???) and when playing, I'm not getting a proper Left/Right balance back from the computer. Checked the RCA outs in the back of the deck and it's not that. I ditched one cable (2 RCA to 1 3.5mm) and hand wired...

Just wanted to share a recent experience.... A few months ago I bought an Aston Origin mic and was a bit disappointed in the low level of signal I got from it. After testing various pre's, interfaces etc., I tested another exact same mic and there was a 3 dB increase with the alternate one...

There seems to be a great divide between good Hi-Fi speakers and Studio monitors. Is the situation as simple as Hi-Fi speakers are meant to enhance the music or the listening experience,...and studio monitors are for getting an uncoloured, non-enhanced sound? Studio monitors seem to be much...

Greetings, I simply wanted some suggestions for one, mono studio monitor. I want uncoloured sound with a bass down to at least 70Hz. Thx.

Two problems: 1-My new Steinberg UR12 interface is giving me a fair bit of shhhhhh noise, from having to turn it up to 90% and the headphones (Sennheiser 280 Pro) feed to 90%, to get a decent volume. No, it's not screaming loud! The Peak light never comes on and the noise doesn't seem to be...

Ok...Am using Audacity (now) with Windows 10. No issues. I have a voice-over business going so I feed a USB mic (now) and use Sennheiser cans. I deal only with a mono final result. Here's the near future: I will have an XLR connected ($500) mic and a ($500) studio monitor ..I like the...

If my waveforms aren't symmetrical, is it usually the fault of the soundcard? I can't see the mic causing that. Is this a major problem-causing error? So far, I can't discern any audible problem. Just curious! Win 10 Asus computer

Made sound absorbing panels (2' x 4') using 3/4" x 3" MDF for the frame and 15 bathroom towels laid flat inside. Asked my local Value Village store to set aside all towels that come in but can't be re-sold. They called to tell me they had 14 boxes of them, after a week. FREE! I covered them...

Has anyone come across a real-time mixer app (for free or low cost) that will play two tracks and allow you to mix them on the fly? Audacity makes you set up the volumes separately in the tracks then adds them together into one, but you can't raise or lower the volume as you record. Very low...
