You have a PAD control. That's used in the face of somebody playing a trumpet or trying to record jets at the airport (not that I would ever want to do that). It reduces the volume of the microphone 10dB, somewhere between 1/2 and 1/4. Sound goes double and half every 6dB. This could prevent overloa...

Did you post this about a week ago?

Audacity has a problem where if you have greatly mis-matched music tracks, the Time Remaining is reported wrong. I believe the actual export is normal, just wait it out. It should complete in the usual time.

The Vestax VCI400 mixer claims MIDI machine control and it only has one USB connection on the rear. So it's not a digital audio mixer and Audacity doesn't support MIDI.

I would connect using the analog sockets like used to work.

(Lame won't open) Any idea why? Do you get an error code or message? What does Audacity > Preferences > Libraries say? Can you locate Lame that way? iTunes used to be able to open a sound file and make an MP3. Macs don't need Audacity for that. That may be a good get out of jail card. Doesn't Power...

Don't blink. Audacity used to use 128 fix bitratre MP3, but the latest version apparently doesn't. Screen Shot 2016-07-25 at 14.44.17.png my computer speakers are inexpensive, and I don't have a sound card. How will you know if you succeeded? How do you answer the subscriber who claims "They so...

Audacity requires the installation of the Lame software package to make MP3 files.

Missed a step. If you put the bandanna over the microphone and the sound lost a little of its crispness, you should also have been able to make RMS easier to hit. That's one of the reasons we're doing this. The crisp sound creates the sharp, tall peaks which mess up the peak/RMS relationship. If the...

hope the ash didn't blow in on you! No ash this time; blue skies are back. One really bad fire about a couple of years ago did dump fine, white ash all over everything. Don't breathe the air. That was still an amazing shot of how close the planes come in over where you were eating! There's a lot of...

If you have the two stereo songs one above the other, do they play more or less in sync? That maybe awkward since traditionally MP3 doesn't maintain good timing, but you can fix that with the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows). Don't shift Track 1...so put the WAV version up there. Now just...

My Audacity 2.1.2 appears to export a mono WAV from a mono timeline even though my device toolbar says stereo.
