Re: Lost source files when attempting a batch chain

Did you try to set Audacity to step on or cover up the old files with the corrected work? Keep the same filenames but improve the sound?

Re: Trouble with USB connection Pyle Cassette Player.

Forget Audacity for a minute. Plug the Pyle in and let it sit there for a bit so the Mac recognizes it. Does it have a little light and does it come on? A USB light? Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Sound > Input. Your machine may have these slightly different. Do you see a USB Sound Device...

Re: best filter for hollow sound

Exactly. We can't tell which way to go cold from a text posting. We need to hear a sample of the work. It's not unusual to think that a better microphone is going to solve all the problems. Maybe not. If you're recording in a kitchen, a better microphone might make you sound like you're recording in...

Re: Problem pasting audio

Those little clocks mean you have Sync Lock selected by accident. Audacity is trying to keep the two tracks locked to each other. I'm looking up how to set that.

Re: Audio questions?

Missed one. Submit a raw recording to the forum. Do Not process, filter or change it.

Audacity is an Audio Production program that you can get for free from here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ ... assuming you're using Windows. You can and people do record, produce, correct, export, and submit AudioBook work with Audacity. But as you're finding, recording AudioBooks i...

Re: best filter for hollow sound

There's a series of bad assumptions.

Post a 20 sec mono WAV clip of the work. Scroll down from a forum window > Upload attachment.

Re: Transferring cell phone voice messages to laptop

While it's certainly possible to rig up and debug a headphone to USB interface to Audacity system, I think in this case, Google is your friend. http://techin.oureverydaylife.com/archive-verizon-voice-mail-messages-10756.html https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/795864 This posting also pops ...
