Re: transferring Audacity

Are you talking about your AUP & AU project files? There is some information here , but I'd recommend you forget about that and export everything to regular audio files (WAV, FLAC, etc.). Or at least, save an audio file too as a backup. Then install the latest version of Audacity (currently 2.1.2)....

transferring Audacity

Decidedly non-tech user about to attempt a clean install of Windows 7 to replace Vista. Currently have Audacity 2.0.5. What should I do to preserve Audacity with its associated files?

Re: Audacity 2.0.3 online manual

Thank you for your help. I've installed 2.0.5 and deleted the earlier versions, will be able to try it tomorrow. Are there any basic differences between the old and new versions I need to know when recording LP's?

Audacity 2.0.3 online manual

Working with Audacity 2.0.3 yesterday and today because 2.0.4 kept crashing my computer. Vista 64 bit OS. Now I can't seem to get back to the online version of the 2.0.3 manual and the local version (in my computer) does not seem to be working properly. Do I have to start over with the 2.5.0?

Re: Recording with Audacity from turntable

Update... Bought Behrenger microphono pp400 preamp, hookup quick and easy. But- the 2.0.4 version of Audacity repeatedly crashed my computer (blue screen, restart, etc.) so I am using 2.0.3 instead.

Re: Recording with Audacity from turntable

Thanks for the explanation, doug. After my post, I Googled the question also, and got the same type of answer, but yours is easier to follow. I'm going to buy a preamp, mindful of the specs of my turntable (Technics SL-BD5) and cartridge (audiotechnica 8008) and bring the t-table into the room with ...

Recording with Audacity from turntable

Trying to get reacquainted with Audacity after limited use several years ago. Just downloaded 2.0.4, installed via .exe installer, using Vista OS. Previously had success sourcing from a reel-to-reel deck which I was able to place next to the computer and connect with standard stereo patch cords. Hav...

Re: Save Project As... dialog box

Thanks to all for helping me. To Bill- I'm using Vista, IE8. To Kozikowski, I have saved the screenshot to Documents and I know how to attach it to an email but not how to paste it to the forum. As you can see, you are dealing with an amateur.

Re: Save Project As... dialog box

I have a screenshot saved in "Paint" but I can't figure out how to paste it to the forum. Sorry- I'm a little over my head with this.
