Effect > Fade-In and Effect > Fade Out. There's also the Envelope tool which will allow you to change the volume of a track, note by note if you want. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/envelope_tool.html Are you placing the old and new tracks on separate timelines? That's more or less required to e...

We hang on your every word when we're trying to troubleshoot across multiple timezones. Sometimes we hang on the area between words. I identify as "mail" myself. Should I get a more serious anti-virus? Probably not. There have been instances of aggressive virus protection "eating"...

it captures all elements of your voice and Natural Room Acoustics/Reverb. Yes. They are reputed to be able to capture every possible nuance of your voice, most of which is going to die when you convert the reading to MP3 whose goal is to remove nuances in favor of small sound files. Do all your pro...

it did sound alot more like I do in real life ? Did somebody else say that? You generally can't tell your own voice because of ear structure, bone conduction, etc. It's also not fair to compare a crappy dynamic with a condenser, and know that most laptop condensers have structured response and cond...

I like Dynamic (moving coil) microphones. They're robust. The ElectroVoice people used to demonstrate their microphones by pounding nails with one and then still have it meet factory specifications. Dynamic microphones are stand-alone. They don't need any special microphone environments to work, the...

Little six-second chunks are normal. Just for form, are you running out of drive space? You can get roughly similar behavior if you have aggressive virus software. Have to protect you from all those evil AU files. It's unusual for that much damage to happen with no apparent cause. Can you see your i...

Do i then go to the File>Save command and try to use that projname, or what. No. Don't save anything. Write down that name and exit the text editor without saving. That's the name that should appear on both the AUP file and _DATA folder, like this. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMu...

I have the .aup on the same level as the data folder. It's a little more serious than that. The AUP file and the _DATA folder have to be in the same folder or location (or both on the desktop) for the show to open. Has the show ever opened? "projname=" refers to the correct data folder. T...

As a general rule you can't plug a phono preamplifier into a laptop Mic-In—pink in this case. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCLaptopSound-650.jpg This computer has no stereo sound connection. I use a Behringer UCA-202 which is a good quality, bi-directional, Stereo USB interface. http://www...

Oh, the orange thing. That's your backup drive for Time Machine and safety WAV backups of your performances. You were planning on having one of those, right?
