Re: To upgrade or not to upgrade?

You left out the part that matters. Audacity assumes a digitized signal arriving has been adjusted and no further work is needed. So it turns off all the volume sliders. I think that reflects what the Mac is doing, so it's not all on Audacity. If you have a turntable plugged into a high quality, ana...

Re: Computer Crashes while Recording

I hid your email address. It's a really bad idea to post a hot email address on the forum. Depending on Audacity version, you can "tune" the behavior of Stop/Start—whether or not it stays on one line. Right this second I can't find the preference, but there is one. Audacity does not Play W...

Re: Help: I lost a whole day of recordings

They should be six seconds. Yes, those are the snippets Audacity uses to reconstruct your show. You seem to be missing some pieces of this. This is a normal Project. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg You didn't mention a _DATA folder in your posting. Where did you find a...

Re: How to record Skype and Google Hangouts

If you do get something working, do post back and tell how you did it. If it's a reliable technique, you'll be a hero.

Extra points if it works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Re: How to record Skype and Google Hangouts

Synchronizing the two recordings can be tricky. If everybody is recording their own voice, you may find the voices drifting off sync because of minor timing differences between computers. Each one has their own digitizer. The Hollywood movie people spend thousands to make sure all their recorders a...

Re: In recording of a SNS chat, voice from MIC is very low

Audacity can seem to be recording from both sides when what it's really doing is recording one thing very well and faulty echo cancellation of the other. A variation of this is a complaint that the far side is gargly or bubbly and how do they clear it up. You usually don't. It's a cousin problem of ...

Re: Help: I lost a whole day of recordings

We have been noticing odd behavior that may be connected with drives that are not internal to the computer. We're still investigating. Do you have WAV files of all your original material so you don't have to shoot anything again? The edit may be toast, but it's usually not too deadly if you still ha...

Suddenly
Did you upgrade to Windows 10? Windows 10 takes drivers and support software designed for it. Older software can have problems.

Which is the three number Audacity version?

Are you using External USB Drives or Cloud Services?
