Hope it passes muster!

Congratulations on your first recording! :clap: A noteworthy narration of this spooky story! Thank you, Neil! It's PL OK!

Under Host it says Windows WASAPI, under playback it says ASUS VS247 (Imtel (R) Display Audio). I'm not technically inclined and don't really know what these are or which one is the sound driver. The mic is a Svive USB condensor mic. I got crackling sounds when I tried using WASAPI. I use MME and a...

OK, I've now downloaded the latest version, and this time it seems ok but I get crackle on the replay in Audacity - but not, it seems, when I replay through e.g. Windows media player. Is that a known thing, that Audacity can reproduce the recording with a bit of snap, crackle and pop? In Audacity, ...

Hi, Neil! One of many possible causes is shortness of memory. I would check to see how much available space there is on the hard disk and also close any other programs when using Audacity to save on RAM. 2.1.0 is a pretty old version (6 years ago I think), maybe the whole computer is old so a hiccu...

Hi, I've got my mic set up nicely and everything but sometimes when I record, a little bit, maybe half of a second, of the audio is skipped. Anyone else have the same problem? More to the point, has anyone got any idea what might cause it and how it can be fixed? I'm using Audacity 2.1.0. I'll see i...

Ah, ok, thanks for the tips. Maybe I should walk before I try running, huh?

Hi, my name's Neil and I'm a Brit living in Stockholm. I'm a translator and despite my heavy workload, I'm keen to join this community and get started on a project. I've even bought a nice new microphone. :-) I've never done anything like this before and I hope I get accepted (maybe should've bought...

Thanks! If I'm accepted I'll give it a shot!
