Audacity Forum

Well I appreciate your effort and determination.

Thanks again for the help!

Yeah that's kind of what I'm getting at, is that there is a near infinite amount of people uploading videos on YouTube that they may or may not have gotten from other sources, so to try and assemble a list of problem users seems futile because there is just too many people out there posting stuff fr...

So you have actually encountered Sabrina Adkins before? I guess the reason I'm confused is because there is some billion plus YouTube users, most of them amateurs who would likely not consider themselves "producers." So it seems formulating a list of users with damaged sound would be a drop of water...

I don't even understand what that meant.

Ah, great! I will just test the clips by switching the stereo track to mono in the future. I wish the problem were more rare. It's happened on several of our podcast episodes when I have pulled show clips off of YouTube, from a variety of different YouTube users. We only use brief snippets of the TV...

Is this what you are saying I should look for to make sure the audio will still be heard if someone is l...

I also took a screenshot of the menu when I click on the filename on the track. I have just noticed that "Left Channel" is checked, but ...

Oh my gosh thank you so much! This has been driving me crazy.

How do I prevent the left and right channels from getting "out of phase" in the future for anyone who might listen in mono? I'm not sure why it happened in that part of the file when I pasted in those clips.

No, they weren't muted. I would have noticed it being greyed out. I did have the volume turned down. But I still don't understand why it would play on my computer, but it wouldn't on someone else's when we are both using THE SAME website, and clicking THE SAME play button (episode 31 at 13:30 mark a...
