    When I attempt to recreate your tutorial, my second track is blank!!! Did you forget to mention any settings that need to be CHANGED in Audacity so that the previously recorded track is "looped" back into the new track?

      You need to click 'record on a new track' it's under Preferences in one of the menus at the top.

    hey, it is very helpful.. many thanks for this.... actually I am new to audacity, and I found your videos and tutorials really very helpful one more thing,,, I've imported one MP3 track, and when I am recording my vocals with it, the track sound is so loud as compare to my vocals. so is there any way to minimize the track volume a bit or I have to use the "normalize" option? please help..

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, you can easily adjust the track volume in Audacity by selecting the track and using the "Amplify" effect to lower its volume level.

  • @YosefKaner

    I encounter an additional problem with Audacity. When I add vocal tracks to an instrumental track, sometimes the playback stalls a tiny bit, randomly, adding more latency. To sync the vocals to the music I then have to manually remove large chunks of latency, or, if it is too messed up, to re-record and hope the playback doesn't stall too much. How would you fix this? More RAM?

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Make sure your computer has a fast enough processor, enough RAM and a fast enough hard drive

      I have the same problem. And the issue is not the computer. It isn't memory or hardware. I have zero issues editing video (with sound). It's only latency in Audacity that's the problem.

    Changing the latency compensation setting in my preferences seems to have no effect at all on the amount of latency I hear on playback.

    I seem to have a different version of Audacity where I go to Edit then Preferences, and then it says MIDI Devices instead of Devices, but the number is 7, not -130 for some reason.

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hmm, versions can differ. If you're seeing "MIDI Devices" instead of "Devices," you might be looking at a different section.

    • @CardcollectorAU
      @CardcollectorAU 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Look for “audio settings” (instead of “devices”) as I think I have the same version, then you will see “interface” as the top icon which is followed by a few other settings until you’ll “latency”. Latency compensation should be there at -130 milliseconds.
      I hope this has helped if you haven’t sorted it just yet ✌🏼

    For recording on the second stereo track, do you play back the first track on the PA so the mic will pick it up again?

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, for recording on the second stereo track in Audacity, you can play back the first track on the PA so the mic will pick it up again to fix audio latency.

    Hello there. Your videos are really helpful. I have a new issue, all of a sudden my mic, a new Yeti, started to lag when I speak into the mic. I can hear the lag in real time through my earphones as a I speak. I have never experienced this and it's vert strange like a slight echo/reverb sound, using Audacity. Any thoughts?

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's latency. If you're trying to monitor through the computer then that's as expected. You need to monitor direct from your Yeti

    Why is my recording not aligning with my video? I record 5 minutes via audacity and my iPhone 14 Pro Max but when I sync, the audio could be 3 minutes. How do I fix this?

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Try using a clapboard or a sharp noise to create a clear audio marker in both the video and audio recordings, then use Audacity's 'Shift' tool to align them together.

    Is this what I need to do for when I record a conference with several cameras and audio recorders at different places around the room? When I sync the audio and video sources while editing, they start off synced well and then start getting out of sync the farther into the video I get.

      I recommend adjusting your buffer size settings in your audio interface's control panel to further reduce latency in Audacity.

    I dont know how it can works when you made a click with random moments. Computer show you how far is first click to second click. Isnt a latention

    • @MikeRussell
      @MikeRussell  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Audio latency in this context refers to the delay between when a sound is created and when it's heard, which can be adjusted and minimized in Audacity to improve the synchronization between clicks in your audio tracks.
