Why is this recording meter only working on 1 channel instead of 2 channels like it should be?

[@MasterEditor5]

It depends on the channel mapping. Audacity has not settings for channel mapping unlike Adobe Audition. If you are using something like Scarlett 2i2 and recording in stereo, the left channel and right channel will be mapped to 2 separate input on the interface. You have to change it through the driver software or if your OS has some settings on it.

Excellent and throrough content. I'm audacity self taught (like many) and had a sound level issue i just could not fix. I watched countless videos, that all seem to be saying the same thing but not really addressing my problem, confusing me more ( i think it was in one of these videos that i selected this incorrect setting to begin with). By following your info on set up and possible glitches info, I found my error. My hero, thank you.

You're very welcome!

I wish it wasn’t AI talking, but I really appreciate this video. Just what I was looking for. ☺️

[@MasterEditor5]

Thanks

[@miriamdecastromusiceducator]

Thanks for the video! It really helped me! Could you suggest me a good course about Audacity and Music Production?

[@MasterEditor5]

You are welcome! I would love to recommend a course, but my expertise is only around voice over

[@adieaf61]

Brilliant, thank you

[@MasterEditor5]

You're very welcome!

[@lollynakupenda346]

i just hope that your lessons will be enough to begin with. Thank you so much. I would love to buy that Macro stuff. Though I have to get money first.

[@MasterEditor5]

You are welcome!

[@lollynakupenda346]

It is not the topic but I am desperately hoping you can me. I have record an audio that I want to important in audacity. I have done that though when I am playing I can hear nothing. I use header (Logitech) to listen to stuff with my laptop. How can I do to hear the voice ?

[@MasterEditor5]

@@lollynakupenda346 make sure your playback slider is set to 100% and the correct playback device is selected in Audacity

I recorded a stereo track. Now I want to overdub a mono track. How do I get Audacity to start recording a new mono track at the beginning of the song?

[@MasterEditor5]

Shift + R will start a new recording

paywall all the good information, wish there was more detailed explanation

[@MasterEditor5]

People who took several Udemy courses ranked this video better than those courses.

[@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi]

It is definitely ironic using a text to voice AI for the narration of a tutorial on software for voice recording.

[@MasterEditor5]

What happens if you follow the instructions given in the video? Would you get better results if those instructions were given by me instead of using AI voice. In case you are thinking about my credibility, you should visit my shop page to see the type of service I provide. Would people pay me if I can't provide those services?

[@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi]

@@MasterEditor5 It is a bit like using AI art in a photoshop tutorial. Voice over artists use Audacity. If you cannot do the voice work yourself, maybe find a real person who can.

[@MasterEditor5]

@@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi I didn't ask for advice on what to do. My main point is: Is my information incorrect or not useful?

[@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi]

@@MasterEditor5 I do not know. Once I realized you were using the AI voice, I stopped watching.

[@bharatgupta9964]

@@TricksterDaemon-jw9hi Maybe this is your individual problem. How does it matter whether the voice is AI or natural. I saw the tutorial only today and the information is excellent.

Why 44.1k sample rate? I always use 48k

[@MasterEditor5]

Some platform requires 44.1kHz and there is no special benefit in choosing other sample rate.

[@LouisA-q3r]

@MasterEditor5 That's not what most music producers say. If you’re producing music for CD release, 44.1 kHz is a safe bet If you’re producing audio for video or digital distribution, 48 kHz may be a better choice If you’re working on a hi-res audio project or want to capture subtle details in your audio, 96 kHz could be a good option

[@MasterEditor5]

@@LouisA-q3r that's true. But my advice is focused on voice recording or voice-related work. My target audience is interested in voiceovers, audiobook narration, podcasts, or generic voice-related work. The subtle difference you will get from recording at a higher sample rate is almost invisible for voice recording. With a sample rate other than 44.1 kHz, you may need to do extra work of setting the sample rate during export depending on which platform you are submitting your audio. If you are into music recording or song production, you are actually playing a different game.
