Re: using two copies of Audacity simultaneously

You are correct, it does jump some between processors, and it's not always 100% It doesn't seem to make a difference how much other stuff is running. I'm saving what was a ~2.5 GB file to a file that's ~155MB in a different format. It takes about ten minutes, so I doubt it's the writing to disk that...

Re: using two copies of Audacity simultaneously

It is correct that only one processor is in play, and is flat out. I've got so much else happening, including large file photo processing, going on at the same time that I expect the too-many-open-windows police to arrive any minute. Everything else is happening lickity-split, just not saving the au...

using two copies of Audacity simultaneously

I'm using 2.0.3.0 on OS X 10.6.8 If I am processing a large file, e.g.,exporting selection, of two hours of music, it takes several minutes before I can begin to use Audacity again while the saving process continues. Is there a way I can continue to process another file while waiting? Could I have t...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

Thanks guys for the response.

The guitar section played.

I save my long projects in sections.

Like everyone, I only have so much time. I'll get to the other suggestions in the next couple of days.

Thanks again,

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

Correct. I answered in the context that we already knew that Audacity AIFF would not play and, so, were there anyone else's AIFF files that would not play.

So far, only AIFF files created by exporting selection, in Audacity, will not play.

Am I the only one to whom this has happened?

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

All AIFF files will fail to play on a stand-alone iPod? Short, long, it doesn't make any difference? No, I exported one song, ~38 MB, in AIFF from Audacity, which would not play in the iPod. The larger file I am using (from which the prior song was culled) is ~850 MB. If you prepare your work in WA...

clipping in purchased music

I'm new to Audacity and have been familiarizing myself with its functions, using music that I have purchased as downloads and from cd's. I have found that on the music downloads, with show clipping enabled, there is a LOT of red lines, although the wave form does not seem to be truncated in the proj...
