Re: Audacity exports in wrong file format.

I read that simply typing ".wav" at the end of file name works as well.

Re: Connecting Piano

In general, when you say the words "piano" or "keyboard" and "USB" in the same sentence, that usually means MIDI or machine control, not music. The computer tells the keyboard to press middle C and hold it for three seconds. That's all it does. It doesn't transfer music...

Re: Playing a CD into Audacity

Music CD native format and Audacity native format are the same: 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. No translation. That's not to say you can drag music from a CD to Audacity. You can't. Music on a CD is in special space-saving configuration and has to be converted for use in the outside world. But the quality i...

Re: Low recording level from behringer UCA222

In Central time. Why?
