Re: Blank audio when uploaded for podcast

Actually, in a full stereo music system, those small portions will not sound perfect and normal. They might sound like they're slightly weird or coming from behind you. This is a channel test I recorded including an "out of phase" segment. It's 39 seconds. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoP...

Re: Editing/ Cutting Clips - Not Working

Make it simple to start. Restart Audacity and open up one short clip. Drag-select a small portion in the middle and Edit > Delete. I'm not sure the difference between Destructive Backspace and the DEL key on Windows, but start here. Did that work? If it did, drag-select another small portion and mak...

Re: Tracks Not in Order

iTunes can create Playlists. In the playlist you can push music around as you wish. That's how iTunes creates the desired order to burn a Music CD if your computer can do that.

The command under File is "Burn Playlist to Disc."

Re: Missing Data Folders

This is an Audacity Project. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg You would normally never need to know what's going on inside the _DATA folder. The AUP file is a computer program that tells Audacity what to do with all that stuff inside the _DATA folder. It's not a sound f...

Re: Missing Data Folders

There is a condition where Audacity will stash work in a location where a virus protection program will "protect you" by deleting them. We should wait for a Windows elf.

Re: Can Audacity Remember a Microphone?

OK. Not good news. OS-X 10.11.16. 13" MacBook Air (2015). Apple updates as of 2016-09-22 21:00. Last update was applied to Safari. Did you know the Air had a fan in it? I always thought it didn't. Amaze your friends. The most serious problem: Apparently, Audacity 2.1.2 does not survive a lid cl...

Re: Can Audacity Remember a Microphone?

The MBPs went to significant redesign when they stripped out the optical drive. I don't think the Stereo Line-In is there any more. My last trip to the Apple Store and I had to look closely to see the difference between the Air and the MBP. It's down to thickness of the case. The Airs come to a poin...

Re: Can't Record with Numark Mixtrack Pro II

it can be used to record mixing from the Numark Mixtrack Pro II. I agree, but maybe not the way you think. Correct me, but if you were playing to a dance floor, you would connect the big amps, crossovers and speakers to the OUTPUT of the Numark, right? I believe that's where you have to get the mix...

Re: Can Audacity Remember a Microphone?

Welp, it doesn't work on the newer MacBook Air. Its first birthday was 2016-02-21 Once I close the lid and disconnect the "microphone", that's the end of the world. The USB connection will not come back up again with the lid closed and when I do open the lid, Audacity is unstable. Rescan f...
