Audacity Forum

Gale, Koz, Cyrano-- Thanks for your input. Seems I had some erroneous info, or maybe just outdated. In any case I'm going to uninstall QT immediately.

"If you want iTunes, you'll have to keep it. I suspect iTunes doesn't work without QT?" OOOh kay. You're right - iTunes and QT work together, and appear to be inextricably linked. If I feel the need to verify that what I produce has been presented as I produced it, I'll need to keep iTunes and QT. >...

Thanks, cyrano, for a reality check: "There's no ROI for security."

My sentiments exactly, so why would I want to gamble on this?

My question has morphed to: Does anyone have a compelling reason to *keep* QT, rather than uninstalling immediately?

I don't actually remember how QT7 landed on my computer, but I know for darn sure I didn't buy it. I did download iTunes a long time ago to listen to podcasts, so maybe QT came with it. (?)

Koz, What I'm doing with Audacity right now is editing and mixing podcasts, then exporting as .mp3 for publishing on iTunes or Stitcher. Other projects include recording and mixing music tracks.

I remember reading about a year ago that Audacity needed files from Quicktime (codecs? libraries?) to run certain operations. Since Quicktime is a security nightma...

In case this is helpful to someone, here's my follow-up. First, I was able to acquire a WAV file of the entire interview to work from. (Turns out Instant Seminar keeps a backup.) Then after an hour or 2 so of researching the info offered in this thread and messing with spectrum analysis and EQ, I de...

At this point I'm just going to say thank you all for your thoughtful and detailed replies. I have more info now than I know what to do with, and it'll take some time to work through it. (You may have missed the part where I admit I'm just a humble live-sound man and not an audio engineer. ;) ) I'll...

Piece of cake!!

Ha. For you maybe. For me it's more like pie -- humble pie.

You can totally type them all out manually and I sometimes do. The forum automatically "knows" what you want. Normal people drag-select some text and press the control button at the top of the text window which automatically applies the tags. You can apply more than one (the shortcut buttons are re...
