Re: Recording with: Macbook, RCA cable to stereo, 2 Cd ays,

This is all going to go into the toilet if you don't have one of those Stereo-Line-In connections on your Mac.

Re: Recording with: Macbook, RCA cable to stereo, 2 Cd ays,

I can't get a good picture of the mixer, but connect the Tape-Out RCAs. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyTapeOut.jpg And jack that into the Stereo Line-In of your Mac (on the left). http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg With one of these. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity...

Re: Any way to label single track into parts?

I think the uncompressed formats like WAV and AIFF can do that, but with no compression, you can only get about seven songs on your player.

Re: basic question with Audacity capability with movie vid

when movies are made , the sound track many times is such that the sounds in the movie , cars , trucks , crashes , music etc. , is louder than the dialogue and if I turn the volume up it doesn't help. When was your last hearing test? Those are the exact symptoms of someone whose hearing around 3-4K...

Re: RETRIEVE UNSAVED AUDACITY FILE

Fair warning that depending on what your computer was doing during the crash (and why it crashed), you could be trying to put an explosion back together.

Re: Alignment issues

I think we fixed that in the current version (or maybe the next one). A good trick is create a silent track way down at the bottom of your show that's longer than the show. Generate > Silence.

Re: Crackling Audio Only When Speaking

Fair warning that any sound that makes the Audacity sound meters go all the way up into the red zone and causes the blue waves to fill the space top to bottom is dead. That's where the digital system "runs out of numbers" and stops making a good digital copy of the real thing. Even if you ...

Re: basic question with Audacity capability with movie vid

I suspect before I opted for open-chest surgery, I'd try to find out why my dialog is too low to hear. Many movie DVDs are burned with two different audio tracks. One is plain, ordinary stereo PCM. That's what plays back on my home music/video system which is plain stereo. But the other is Dolby 5.1...

Re: RCA to USB or Line In?

Do you have a connector that looks like a circle with two black arrows (above)? I would use that.
