Thanks! Why don't you record with Audacity?

Aha! I was planning on trying exactly that today when i'm up and running. Good to know i might not be wasting my time. Thanks! I've looked at Reaper. It looks like a terrific DAW program, but the big difference seems to just be that Reaper has more plug-ins and whatnot. If Audacity doesn't do...

So far so good. Thanks! Got the mic to record on channel 1. Now the mic is plugged into channel 2, but I haven't gotten it to record yet. I wonder whether anyone publishes a hard-copy how-to book for Audacity. Haven't found one so far. The online instructions I'm finding don't tell much.

Aha! I'll experiment and let you know what happens. And I'll look around for the setup and grab an image of that for you.

No, I didn't. What does the Lock icon do? Do I want it to be locked or unlocked?

Okay. Still stymied. I did the above Privacy > Micruphone cha-cha and got:

Hm. I have Big Sur. The support page mentions hitting an OK button to access a mic, but that Don't Allow/OK dialogue box doesn't come up on my computer. I'll try the manual steps they describe and see what happens.

Did that yesterday.

. . . and if I did, what am I doing wrong? I have a fairly new Macbook Pro computer and a Focusrite Clarett 8pre USB interface. The Mac is not online. I went to Best Buy to get a USB cable to connect them. They sold me an Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable. It's all hooked up, and in the Mac's...

Which makes me wonder: What's a USB2 and USB3? An what about USB1? I didn't know they came numbered.

Dupe.

Dupe.

I want to move WAV files from one place to another or store them on a thumb/jump/flash drive for permanent backup. I don't know their USB types or speeds. I have a $20 adapter so I can use two different sizes of drives. I'll connect them to an iMac, a MacBook, and a MacBook Pro. I'll be...

Thanks! How many gigs do you like for storing or moving recordings? (I'm going to add that question to the original post.)

For storing and for moving digital recordings, which do you prefer and why? And how many gigs do you like?

Supercardioid dynamic mic. Hardly used. Great choice for vocals. Padded zipper bag. The e945 is a terrific mic. Read about them here: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/vocal-microphone-dynamic-super-cardioid-e-945 . . . and here: https://proaudioland.com/news/sennheiser-e945-dynamic-mic-review/...

I've read that the new processor isn't compatible with the Claret.

I still haven't gotten this answered well enough. I want to be able to record up to eight live tracks. I won't be using many effects — probably just reverb and EQ, maybe compression. I won't be making more than eight tracks ever. The interface will probably be a Focusrite Claret 8pre. The...

Yes. We know. In post 17, Rob says he thinks J wants us to bugger off. In post 18, I said I didn't hear J tell us to bugger off. If J ever checks in again, he can settle the question.
