There is a feature in Adobe Audition 3.0 called "on-clip" gain control that is very cool. When you highlight/select a section of audio, a little visual amplitude control appears at the top of the selection. You can drag the knob to raise or lower the amplitude of JUST that section and see the...

I'm looking for an audio editing program that has a couple of features. Mainly, I need to be able to create presets for certain EQ settings, or for fade-in, fade-out, etc. I used to use Adobe Audition (still have version 3 :-)), and I could do that. But AA can be pretty expensive. Audacity is...

Someone asked me if I knew and I didn't - is there a way to filter out the hiss (it's pretty quiet but definitely there) on a Samson C01U USB mic while doing VOIP stuff like Skype? With an XLR mic running through an interface, there would be options like inserting a noise gate. But I'm not...

I'm trying to record my wife singing, but she has a very wide dynamic range - very soft and low to very loud in pretty fast swings. I know that compression is the right tool but don't know how I can compress her vocals while she's recording. I only know how to do it after recording, in Reaper...

Hi. I just changed interfaces to an E-Mu 1820m and I'm getting (I think) DC offset, where the wave form seems to be off-center. Why does this happen? And is there an easy/obvious way to prevent it? Thanks. Ryan.

Is it possible to record 2 (or more) tracks at the same time with Audacity? Thanks. Ryan

A friend of mine wants to send an e-mail to someone where a music file would immediately start playing as soon as he opened it. Does anyone here have any idea how you might do that? Thanks, Ryan

If I want to start recording a full band with live drum kit, 3 vocals a bass and 2 electric guitars, what kind of interface do you recommend I use? I don't want to just set up 2 mics and record the room to stereo. I'd like to have separate tracks for all (or most) elements. Would something...

Hi Everyone. I've been seeing a lot of recommendations for Reaper as good recording software. I've also read some stuff on the web that says you need additional software for editing if you use Reaper. Is that true? If so, I'm wondering why? What are the things (if any) that Reaper cannot do...
