Audacity Forum

Oddly, what kills most people trying to read for AudioBooks isn't Audacity. It's bad recording environment. People still use recording studios for a reason. Getting rid of background noises such as dogs, street traffic, TVs and radios is almost impossible in Audacity (and most other programs). Yes, ...

This is the new Stereo Line-In... and Stereo Line-Out. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg That's a Behringer UCA-202. I have two. Also see: Behringer UCA-222 and UFO-202 which has a a built-in phono preamp for conventional analog turntables. My so-new-it-squeeks Air st...

wouldn't you know I wound up deleting the whole damn file I don't think it's possible to delete a file from the timeline. Even if everything vanishes, Edit > UNDO should crank your way back to wherever you started. Audacity is pretty serious about that and it takes up a lot of room to make sure its...

Audacity has two methods of displaying the timelines. It's handy for the timeline to constantly update when you're recording so you can tell what the blue waves are going to look like and to give you a record of possible overload points. However, that will drive you completely nuts if you try post-p...

A grand place to start is the Audacity version number. It's a trick question. The real Audacity has three numbers and dots between. Some of the bogus versions have other number configurations.

all tracks to keep recording on top of each other. Right. The production keeps getting geometrically louder and more complex as you go. [New Performance] + [Everything Else]. I even tried to turn overdub off and it seemed cut out the drums on the 1st track but I'm unable to listen to it while recor...

UPDATE: Seems you need to add the .WAV extension to the name OR it defaults to a .AIFF extension.

Yes. That is an actual bug.

It is a common problem, but I don't think there is a pre-baked answer, I suspect because the solution is a bit open ended. Anyway, start here. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=306580#p306580 This is the open-ended part of the problem: Do you remember the settings you changed in order to...

think a better solution for simple audio fixups for video is needed. I agree completely. Maybe one of the higher-end video editors is called for. Ripping a video show apart and correcting individual parts of it generally calls for more talents than anyone is prepared to design. Final Cut can correc...

my noise floor was too high (-45 db). How did you measure that? Did everything else work out OK? Could you make volume and peak numbers? Did your recordings look something like this?
