Cool. That's the one where we get rid of the split file system, right?

Re: Audacity shutting down if I try to use effects

Oh, and I put the dictionary in the Dock (at the bottom of the screen). Go (screen top) > Applications. Drag Dictionary to the dock on the bottom of the screen. Then I make the doc hide when I'm not using it to give me the screen real estate back. There may be a shortcut to do this, but I don't know...

Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. [_] Correct spelling automatically (de-select).

Re: conversion loss rates

I need to investigate the other lossless types. It wouldn't take much investigation. FLAC as I understand it is the only zero-damage compressed format. Delivery improvement is one option, but there is a way to get better music. The iTunes store offers higher price music ($1.29 up from the famous 99...

Re: Audacity shutting down if I try to use effects

Open the Safari app on the Mac. Open a new Safari window and select a text-input box by clicking into it. Pull down the Edit menu and scroll down to “Spelling and Grammar” Select “Correct Spelling Automatically” so that the check no longer appears next to it. Aug 18, 2011 Getting upset at me is OK,...

Re: conversion loss rates

And there's another super fuzzy minimum rule. Right around 32, most people can just start to hear some sound damage in a mono show if they're not exposed to the original work. 64 for Stereo. The transitions are pretty steep. Lower than 32, Mono sound turns to garbage immediately. Above 32 the damage...

Re: Audacity Takes 45 Seconds To Open

Windows 7 Professional on a very old pc. This isn't likely on newer machines, but is your hard drive filling up? http://www.tech-faq.com/how-to-check-hard-drive-capacity-in-windows.html Is your drive light flashing madly while Audacity is opening?

Re: conversion loss rates

It's true if you stick to the higher compression rates, you can go a very long time before you experience any audible damage at all. But. Post production or other unexpected sound management can just kill you. There is a poster who was doing a show for a small local radio station. To cut a long stor...
