.mkv is a video file and stand-alone FFMpeg will convert one to stand-alone .mp4. Another video format. I believe Audacity with FFMpeg installed will open up the audio portion of an .mp4.

There may be a shortcut there somewhere, but that should work. I'm looking.

I recorded a number of interview in Zoom How? Zoom doesn't lend itself to locally recording both sides of a Zoom call. It is the forum's opinion you get Zoom to record calls. If you got one to work on one computer, you're only the second producer we know of. It would be super good to know how you d...

I want to compare the levels at the same frequencies of different audio samples.

That's a frequently requested feature for a future Audacity.

The instant you touch any of the L/R sliders to the left of each track, Audacity will "convert" that track to stereo and push the sound to wherever you put the slider. So if you jam one of the tracks all the way to the Left, that track will come from the left speaker or headphone. That wil...

I know the rules for 5.1 Dolby Surround, but 8 tracks is a little exotic. How did they get to be 8 track? What was the application? Do you know what the identities are? Left-Front, Right-Front, Center . .... etc? I think I can hear the senior elves urging you to bump yourself up to Audacity 2.4.2. Koz

I don't remember the spells, so I'll let one of the senior elves do this.

Are you in Audacity 2.4.2? Earlier Audacity versions could have troubles with Audacity Project naming tricks. If you are, File > Save Project > Save Lossless Copy. Those projects are pretty large, but they're also much more robust and resistant to Project damage. When it completes, File > Save Proje...

I don't remember the official method, but the desperation method is to Generate a silent track longer than the show. Select that and the desired track(s) and File > Export > Export Selected Audio. The Select button to the track left works just like other Windows controls. Select, Shift+Select, Contr...

You can also post extended works to YouTube. I've seen audio presentations over a still video frame. It's up to you to figure out what that pays—if anything.

Thank you, but I'm interested in reading their last rejection. They don't publish their detailed analysis process and the only way we know what they're thinking outside of their publications is detailed parsing of their rejections. I did four books, all of which went thru QA with nary a hiccup. It's...
