![]() I couldn't listen to Sirius Satellite Radio for the same reason. The voice is a little too honky and restricted for my taste. I personally think you're using too much compression. I'm playing the MP3 tracks you pointed to. I didn't find any of the shows that played on one side. I'm a radio DJ/news reporter from way back in the 70s but the engineering is giving me fits. As I recall only the left channel VU meter was working so perhaps I was, as you suggest, recording just the left side of a stereo track. I'm Ok with a mono track so long as it's true Mono - what I don't want is like one of the recent (I think the 30th) shows where it plays in just one channel. I think it's the one that plays in only one channel? 23rd to 29th really suck - I thought I was using the podcaster but in fact it was defaulting to the onboard mic and quality is terrible. The one for the 30th was done on the road using the Podcaster in Garage Band and then importing to audacity. Select the small MP3 icon at top right of the page, then Daily Aero-News network podcast top of right column on next page, That will open a page with a day to day list of the podcast I do - a daily show of aviation news. Love for you to listen to my work - it can be found at. Didn't think we were going to ask that, did you? Post where we can listen to some of your work. If the microphone doesn't appear in the Apple System, you can go for coffee. That's a convenience that's not extended to external microphones.īy the way, the "preferences' they were talking about are Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input, not Audacity Preferences. The internal microphone in your MacBook Pro is an oddity in that you can force it to record stereo even though it's only one microphone. The little message to the left of the track needs to say Mono. You do need to make sure you're not recording just the Left track of a stereo show. Tracks properly (internally) labeled "Mono" play to both speakers in most if not all stereo systems, they "know" what a mono track is, and the quality and clearness of the voice doubles if you make an MP3 out of a mono track instead of stereo. ![]() If you make a Music CD in iTunes, iTunes will "force" a stereo disk anyway, no matter if you started out mono or not. I'm wondering if that might be the problem? Anyone else have experience like this or know of a solution? I'm wondering too if there is a USB to line in adapter that I could use with the mic that might fix the problem?įrom the Drop-Down menu on the left of the track, Make Stereo Track. The Rode connects via USB and does not work? ![]() Only thing I can surmise, I notice using the MXL mic at home, it connects thru the computer's line in input and thus works and records in stereo with no issues. I found I can use the Rode to record my vocal track (for a podcast) in Garage Band and then import it into Audacity for editing and mixing but I'd rather skip that step - should not be necessary. ![]() I've tried changing the sampling rate to every other rate offered in the pull down menus and still get the same error message. 1) I'm allowed only to select mono - there's no 2 track stereo option? 2) FAR MORE IMPORTANT - I get an error message (apologies I dont' recall it exactly now) but it has to do with the sampling rate (set at 44.1). I then stumbled upon the option in Garage Band to ALSO select the Rode WITHIN THE SOFTWARE as the input/output device and finally it worked in Garage Band.Īssuming the same to be the problem with Audacity I again found where I can select the input/output device as the Rode in Audacity. I tried the Rode in Garage Band and found the same thing. Despite having made these changes my computer continued to default to the onboard built-in mic. The instructions say you merely need to go into Preferences and select the Rode as the input and output device - but I found this did NOT work. I travel a lot so I just purchased a Rode Podcaster USB mic. I'm using Audacity 2 on a MacBook with a MXL V63M condenser mic in my home studio and it works wonderfully.
