How are you listening to the songs? You should be able to point to a demarcation point. The connection to your speaker system or headphones is a good one. Instead of sending the sound to your headphones, send it to a sound recorder or second computer for recording in Audacity. That connection is the...

I save often because it crashes all the time. I'd stop editing the show and fix the computer. There is no "crashing all the time." Your computer and Audacity are not a good match. How long is the show? How much room on your computer or drives? Do you use cloud storage? Audacity hates clou...

I used reverb and saved it But if you didn't close Audacity, you can Edit > UNDO. If you closed Audacity, yeah, that's the end. It's a terrific idea to keep backup copies of all your sound files and Export WAV (Microsoft) copies of all your performances before you edit them. That's just a generic g...

How are you listening? This job would be hopeless without a killer sound system, particularly if some of the work was shot outside. Being able to hear rumble and barely audible thunder/earthquake sound is super important. Wind noises can be the worst. Those sounds can really mess up volume setting a...

I can't find a USB light on the mixer. I guess we're taking it on blind faith that the USB connection is OK. Does it say somewhere in the instructions? Close Audacity.

When you say you've used "hardware techniques" to address this problem, what do you mean? I always add a "thing" or a machine. Everybody goes into this with the idea of communicating easily on the computer and making a good quality recording of both sides on the same computer . ...

Do you have access to a second DAT machine? Have you done your analog protection copies? Have you ever seen a DAT machine threading itself? It's nothing like a little audio cassette machine dragging a narrow tape between two reels. It's a little video cassette recorder with threading arms, spinning ...
