Audacity Forum

Found part of my memory. Turntable connected to tiny cheap RCA Integrated Stereo Amplifies plugged into computer (Mac Mini). After recording music have the option to save as "64 bit float" (AIFF). Used that and some kind of numeric multiplier then but think the "Amplify" buttons will accomplish same...

A bit gun shy on updates. Right now I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 running on my computer. Could have CS6 but not much there. How many upgrades would it take before I began to have to rent software online AND depend on my pitiful online connection to use. When I used a mainframe I had a dedicated TIE li...

Thanks for reply. Went back to manual for Amplify Realized the first line of the WARNING ! "When the Amplify dialog first appears it shows in the Amplification (dB) box the amplification amount needed to create a New Peak Amplitude of 0 dB, thus maximizing the volume of the selected track. If this i...

Thanks for reply. I think you are right but "remember" or think I remember that Audacity used a bit different terminology. I was looking at from a mathematical perspective not acoustics. Minimize rounding errors in the multiplication by using the format with the most decimals, not trying for the las...

I had a process to digitize audio material on my Mac setup. But I seem to have forgotten some of the step and/or Audacity has moved on past me. Please let me know if this is still possible. The tape player / record player was connected directly to the Mac. Volume set very low to avoid clipping. I br...

Thanks for the help, discovered your most helpful suggestion just before I read this. I just made a AIFF copy of the noise reduced file and it is 00:15:02 +22 PAL frames I used Change speed ONLY to verify the exact length of the file, maybe there is an easier way I went with AC3 because that is what...

End of round 2 One of us won by TKO not sure if it is me or the movie. Audacity seemed to work as advertised, at least the latest version. 2.0.2 was little / no help. Using Filmora identified scene 00:17:34 +16 PAL frames back of head 00:17:34 + 17 PAL frames men facing speaking That was my target V...

Seems to be on right track (when have I heard that before) new Change Speed much improved automatically detects end of file check shows length in multiple formats check shows length in h:mm:ss + PAL frames check eyeball on Filmora target 00:22:19 06 starting position of audio 00:23:19 04 took 5 trie...
