Re: Recording to a Single Sequential Track

You still don't have to do that. You can add the FFmpeg software to Audacity and open those up directly. Scroll down.

Re: Recording to a Single Sequential Track

the songs should be in mp3 format No they shouldn't. Use WAV, AIFF or the highest quality you can get. Audacity is already super high quality inside. If you use an MP3 to make an MP3, the compression distortion and sound damage doubles. Click "Transport" - "Play through" You don...

Re: Adjusting and syncing 44100 & 48000

There is a darker, more evil possibility. One of the performances has tiny gaps in the presentation and got shorter that way. That's not unusual, particularly with Windows laptops hanging on with just enough horsepower to do all their jobs. But you're on a Mac..... With a dedicated Zoom...... That d...

Re: Adjusting and syncing 44100 & 48000

44100 was Audacity itself. Not exactly. 44100 was handled by the computer. Audacity is a slave to what the computer is doing. It's a toss-up. Who is more likely to be accurate, the Mac internal codecs or the Zoom? That's assuming nothing is broken. That's hard. They both do this very well. I have n...

Re: Beginner advice please - Audacity on Mac

I think this is a Google job. https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-record-a-phone-call-android-smartphone I do very well with a special-purpose analog microphone and Audacity, but that's with a land-line, not a smartphone (you may need to zoom your browser to see the whole thing). It fits in your ear. ...

Re: Not recording computer audio

until now. What changed? Something changed. Did you plug in a USB microphone or USB headphones or other USB sound device? Windows has an odd habit of hijacking the sound channels when you do that. Do you remember how to set up to record computer/internet sound? You may have to do it again. We wrote...

Re: Why won't Audacity work on my recording?

There are elves who do vinyl corrections a lot better than I do, so I'm going to step back. But. Was that a 78 by chance? Did you do the transfer with the special, broader 78 stylus and did you do the transfer at actual 78 RPM? There are ways to play the record at 33 or 45 with the wrong stylus and ...

Re: Why won't Audacity work on my recording?

Don't believe......what?

Audacity instructions are designed for a broad audience and covering as much as possible. You can crank through it all and eventually get there, or just post a sound file and it's better than even chance one of the forum elves can just tell you how to fix it.

As we go.

11MB's or more all aiff
Probably not. 11GB, maybe? 11MB is about a minute.

Re: adding low end BASS to aiff

It's 2MB attachment restriction, so no, you can't post a whole AudioBook chapter, either. The restriction might not be whether or not there's any bass there to boost, but how are you listening to it? If you are using a headphone system with no bass or, much more likely, a speaker system with no bass...
