Thanks for the great reply, steve!

A few times when toggling song speeds in other programs, I felt like I heard it change into a slightly louder, slightly clearer sound at certain percentages... but I was probably just imagining it.

I don't know much about musical notes... In programs like Audacity you can change a song's speed by a percentage. When you don't change it enough for the musical notes to change a semitone or a tone, is the resulting music lower audio quality in any way? In other words, is there something special ab...

Are there any other techniques for emulating stereo sound? There is a free Audacity plug-in to produce pseudo-stereo from mono, here ... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=57770&p=148472 Thanks, that's great. Oh and when you add a new track, is there any way to have the new track ap...

I've got some vocals that were unfortunately recorded in mono. What's the best way to get it sounding - as much as is possible - a bit more like stereo? I've read about duplicating the audio, panning them left and right, and changing one of them so it's slightly different. But if I do that, how shou...

Sometimes when I select a chunk of sound to amplify, I can amplify it to e.g. 12,15,19 times etc. With other selections, the most it will let me amplify is really low like 0.6, before the OK button is greyed out.

Why does this happen?

Thanks, it was "noise cancellation", right next to the echo cancellation that was doing it.

I'm new to recording. I have a Boss RC-2 Loop Station pedal for my guitar and I'm trying to record its output onto my computer. I plugged the jack directly into the microphone port. What I get is that the sound fades/phases in and out rather than staying at one volume level and picking up all of the...

I would have thought that by 'splitting', I could move or paste things earlier without pushing the later separate splits.

How do I edit the track without moving the later segments?

Cheers.

It's not easy. You need to "loop" the sound (using the "Repeat" effect), but you need to choose the start and end points of the repeating section very carefully to achieve a smooth result. Looping sounds well is a bit of an art - there's a lot of information and tips on the Internet on how to do it...
