First, thank you stevethefiddle for telling me about the little pleasures that await me in Audacity 2.0. But especially thank you for the link to Elman. An exquisite performance-- but the piece is so masterfully written even a clumsy amateur (me, on keyboards, for example) can't fail to impress a li...

stevethefiddle, your b key and cursor tip was the Schumann's Traumerei of suggestions: easy for the violinist to play but no less wonderful to hear for that simplicity. (I've read some of your contributions to other questions and THEY were definitely Paganini caprices--or The Devil Went Down to Geor...

To koz: Thank you for your suggestions and analysis. And I've already employed your space bar tip to great time- and labor-saving effect. To waxcylinder: Thank you for telling me about Control-M to mark a spot! It's exactly what I was looking for!! Before starting to use Audacity I had hoped (and fu...

Here's a follow-up question that reflects sheer desperation: Is it possible to have the green triangle remain fixed in place, and for the wave form to move across your screen during playback?

To stevethefiddle and flapjack47: Thank you both, gentlemen, for galloping so swiftly to my rescue. To stevethefiddle: Not one, not two, but THREE options, meticulously laid out!!! Thank you! I'm sure all three would have worked, with varying degrees of fidelity, and options two and three may very w...

Is it possible for a normal, mainstream computer like mine (Toshiba Satellite laptop from late 2006 running Windows XP) to be unable to record streaming audio with Audacity NO MATTER WHAT I MIGHT DO??? I carefully read the relevant tutorials and tips on the Audacity website and implemented each step...

No, kozikowski, clicking on "advanced controls" does nothing--it's there only to be checked off or not checked off.

I have a Toshiba Satellite, late 2006 vintage, using Windows XP, and I've been struggling to set things up properly to record streaming audio. My computer has RealTek HD Sound Effect but I am unable to get any of the proper options like Stereo Mix, etc. in the Float Mixer Toolbar. Therefore, I tried...
