Audacity Forum

Thanks again for your help. The problem is now solved. I made an incorrect assumption after reading the earlier 2014 post by trying to use the 64 bit version of the download suggested there because I run w10 64bit. You put me on the right track by inferring that I should be sticking to the 32 bit ve...

Thanks but I think I need version 2.3 for dsf files. Are you able to read dsf files with version 2.2.?

Hi I am running Windows 10 64 bit and Audacity 2.1.1. I want to read .dsf files and have read a post on the forum from December 2014 which is now locked. I have extracted the 64 bit version of ffmpeg version of 29 July 2014 and placed it in the suggested directory. I imagine that this would behave s...

Hi Gale
Sorry to trouble you again but suddenly the recording volume control has been disabled after a windows 10 64 bit update. It works when using MME but not WASAPI. I have reinstalled Audacity but that didn't solve the problem.
Any thoughts?

Thanks again Gale. To my ageing ears bit depth seems to be more important than sample rate to overall listening experience so I will continue to use WASAPI.

Hi Gale, Thanks for your detailed response which provided me with much food for thought. Also apologies for the abbreviations. I certainly take your point. On thinking about what I am trying to achieve, it is simply recording my vinyl and converting it to 96000Hz / 24 bit wav files on my computer wi...

Hi, I am new to this forum so please bear with me if I ask a silly question. I have recently installed Audacity 2 for the first time. I am using V 2.1.1 . I have also installed windows 10 64 bit. I normally record LPs at 96 / 24. I use a Xitel INPORT for A to D conversion. I note that if I use WASAP...

Does anyone have any experience comparing audacity performance under 32 bit compared to 64 bit windows 8 (or windows 7). I basically use Audacity for recording vinyl.

Thanks

Hello,

I have recently installed w8 pro 32 bit and note that the recording level bar in audicity is greyed out. When I click on it I get a message to use the windows mixer to adjust recording levels. Is there any way around this?

Regards

Thanks Steve - what a great common sense response!
