Audacity Forum

I don't see any attachments or sound clips. Prepare a ten second stereo clip featuring some normal music and some with the drum damage. We're going to compare them. As above, we can't do anything with one short, isolated, damaged drumbeat. Prepare the WAV clip. Open a forum text window and scroll do...

How long is the show? We've gotten nailed by people trying to edit five and six hour shows. That's a problem.

Audacity should produce a mono WAV export if all the work on your timelines is mono and you have all your track pan controls centered. Are they and do you? You can change the character of single blue-wave tracks with the drop-down menu from the little black arrow to the left of the track. Mono is on...

You can set the sample rate with the little Window at Audacity lower left. 44100 is used in AudioCDs. 48000 is used in video. Many studios run at 96000/24bit against any possible damage to a studio recording caused by processing, corrections and finishing. If you use the default WAV export, that wil...

Audacity runs internally at 32-floating so effects and filters that accidentally cause the sound to "overload" don't create permanent damage. The sound is still there. Just reduce the volume and keep right on going.

In the other formats, one overload and it's the end of the world.

So you can't manage either one without a "stub" or fake soundtrack?

Isn't that an Awkward or Unfortunate Feature?

WAV files are limited to either 2GB or 4GB. I'm not sure where you got your 6GB file from. 88200Hz and is 32bit. That's a really unusual file format. Is there a reason you picked it? I'd be leery that other programs wouldn't accept it. 88KHz sampling rate will reproduce sound up to about 44KHz. Huma...

OS-X 10.11.6, Audacity 2.1.2. No other Audacity installs. No machine updates available. I launched Audacity with no content (blank timeline). Analyze > Add or Remove Plugins > Select All (they all turn blue) > Enable > OK. Nothing. All the analyze tools remain gray. Same with Effect. Most of the eff...

Rebooting or Reinstalling Audacity doesn't reset Audacity. You can do a first birthday reset: Close Audacity. Go (top of the screen) > Go To Folder: ~/Library > Application Support Drag the audacity folder to the trash. This will take any custom settings or plugins with it. It's really First Birthda...

So you don't know someone who already knows how to edit? I don't know a good way to drag-isolate. There may be one, but I've never needed it. I do it by drag-delete. Drag-select the portions I don't want and press the DEL key. If you want to club scratch and/or crossfade in addition to just selectin...
