Problems with Audacity (1 Viewer)

[spitz]

When I try to record my fat monster riffs, it sounds good on playback for about 30 seconds, then it sounds garbled, like I'm playing under water. I've tried playing louder, less loud... moved the mic closer, further away... I can usually get it to sound almost OK, but too quiet and not crisp enough. Any ideas?

Just ignore it.
What they give you has no features restricted and works exactly as the full version does. And this trial period *never* runs out.

But think about eventually giving them some money because it's an awesome product (and only 40 quid)

Watching closely for a fork though

No, open source Audacity audio editor is not “spyware”
