Audacity Forum

See, I don't think that's particularly correct. You can set Audacity Preferences > Recording > [X] Playthrough, and The device Toolbar for Playback to Speakers and hear the work just fine. It's just late. If you're trying for split second, real-time editing or other production, that's not going to w...

it's what allows for monitoring It facilitates monitoring. I've never used SoundFlowerBed in my life. I manually change the Mac System Settings and the Audacity Device settings each time I use it (not that often). SoundFlower appears as a device just like a Microphone or "Built-In Input" ...

Scroll down from a forum text window > Upload Attachment > Browse. It's not open ended. You can't post hours of work. ...

So your tiny, convenient MP3 file turns into an enormous digital show. Do you have room for about a GB per hour or more? A...

While you can probably force that to work, the music has to go through several interfaces and bit translations and possibly make you run the speakers at the wrong volume to get a good recording. Most people just use a CD ripper such as CDex. That will give you a bit-accurate digital copy of the musi...

What's the goal?

The Audacity basic sample rate of 44100 will only support sound up to 17000 or 20000 depending on how you count, so a different sample rate is needed.

Are we generating subliminal content?
