Audacity Forum

First item. That's the wrong directory—two errors. /Users/koz/Library/Application Support/audacity We should wait for a more senior elf. This is a favorite place for Audacity magic. My Audacity exports MP3 just fine, but claims it's finding its lame dynamic library in a folder which doesn't exist. [...

if you aren't even close then it's highly unlikely that any amount of processing will fix it. If you aren't even close, ACX-Check will tell you your RMS is low like it just did to me on a dead-flat silent clip. Do I need the Photoshop blur to show you what all those numbers look like to a newbie? B...

This original show was called shara part 1. The name is burned into the AUP file. Does that ring a bell? You can put the AUP and _DATA folders back to that name and the show should open.

I can tell precisely when my cellphone "checks in" to the tower for confirmation of connection by listening to leakage in the sound system, but it's not crackling. It's more like highly distorted rag-time band. Google Spike Jones Has it happened since? If I described to you a radio receive...

Actually, that's not a dreadful addendum to ACX-Check. Instead of misleading test values such as: You don't pass RMS, it reads: The volume of the whole clip is too low. How about: All three values are too low, even though technically, that's not true. This in the face of the distressingly common pro...

maybe add option to apply sound effects or filters before that

A super popular Feature Request is for Audacity to add effects or filters during recording. Not so far. This is a sister to that request.

As some of the other elves are quick to point out, some computers can switch between Stereo Line-In and Mic-In with one socket. Those are celebrities. Most can't. Even rarer are the computers with all three connections, Blue Stereo Line-In, Pink Mic-In and Green or Black Stereo Line-Out or Headphone...

It is required that whoever is developing scrubbing be a proficient video editor . It's not optional. The video people have been doing this successfully for decades. Anybody who tries to use Audacity after successfully using a video editing program is horrified how difficult it is. No, you shouldn'...

The Mic-In of your laptop is not a good option for music. For one thing, it's usually mono, not stereo, and easily overloaded producing crunchy sound. You can get a stereo USB adapter for your laptop. I have a Behringer UCA-202 and like it. Here it is connecting my stereo mixer to my Windows machine...

Rather than just giving a single pass/fail, if the test has not failed outright, then it generates a summary of what the dynamics are doing through the duration of the chapter or submission. Whomever wrote that is probably resting comfortably in a home somewhere. They would have had the same proble...
