If there's hope, you can open the AU files (except the first ones) and they will play very short snippets of the show. You don't have to open all of them. It's just proof of concept.

Then you can use Manual Recovery.

I understand I'm the odd duck. I also have a Zoom H4 stand-alone recorder and two MacBook Pros in various stages of advanced old age, but whose microphones still work. Can't have too many recorders.

I'm 100% sure it didn't go to sleep Not that kind of sleep. Computers waste tons of time, for example, waiting for you to press a key. In battery systems, it pays well to shut down the processor between keystrokes. This doesn't work for sound management. I need to look up how to register applicatio...

Which Certain Sounds?

Human voices don't pitch shift very well past maybe two piano notes. Some sounds your mouth makes don't pitch shift at all and people sound really odd if you try.

Is that what you're trying to do?

I have a Shure X2U. It's mechanically terrific, but slightly noisy and not enough gain. So at the precise point the rubber meets the road, there's not enough rubber. I've never used it where I didn't have the microphone volume knob smashed all the way up. As I wrote to Shure, I would kill for just 1...

The setting of the Speaker icon in the device toolbar should say your USB device. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device_toolbar.html My little stereo USB thing says "USB Audio CODEC." You should know Audacity checks for new devices when it starts. So plug everything up, let it settle f...

Is it simply a matter of copying from the appropriate intro and pasting into the main file It can be, but you'd have much better control if you create a new blank track under the first one, paste the intros into that and then push them around with the Time Shift Tool to get it to sound the way you ...

I wondered why more people don't do that. Is this the first time out? Do you do this all the time and this one happened to fail? Do you still have the meeting in Audacity? File > Export as a WAV (Microsoft). Then Save an Audacity project. I know the natural inclination is to Export it as an MP3, but...

My first choice is a small analog mixer and USB adapter That's what I used here. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/LaptopMixerMicrophone.jpg There are no restrictions. It will mix up to four microphones and it will do overdubbing. OK, there's one thing wrong. It's not portable. The mixer has no pro...
