Hi Dave, the 1.3.13 beta version of audacity is much more accessible than 1.2.6 version and is reasonably stable. In addtion there's a guide for jaws users for this version, which can also be used by users of window-eyes and nvda. It's available here: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-1.3.13-Guide.html I'm not sure what's causing the galvanized pipe effect, but it might be a latency problem. If you record additional tracks whilst listening to existing tracks, there are delays in audacity which cause the tracks not to be in sync. Audacity can automatically correct for this if the amount of latency is know. The recording section in the above guide covers the various options for recording, and also includes a method for measuring the latency. An alternative to that method would be just to time shift tracks, and find the latency by a sort of trial and error. Time shifting of tracks is covered in the more advanced editing section of the guide. David. original message: Hi everybody,
I'm a new kid on the block. I've downloaded Audacity 1.2.6 hoping for a free usable multitrack recording program. I've run the output from a Zoom H D8 to the line_in jack of my sound card and am bringing a mike through the H d8. . My single track recording efforts went okay, but when I started adding tracks on the computer, suddenly the production sounded like it was being played through three or four feet of galvanized pipe. Is it a phasing problem? Is there a setting I need to change? Would a later version of the program help[? Thanks for any advice.
