Re: Move Cursor Forward 1.8 Seconds

The desperation method might be to create a click track or metronome with tick spacing of 1.8 seconds. Start it on one of the scratches. It won't track forever, but I bet it stays reasonably accurate for you to find each tick neighborhood very quickly. Screen Shot 2020-12-15 at 4.08.28 PM.png Hud-He...

Re: New user: Need to record podcast with music overlays, intros and outros. I am lost.

I have no engineer or producers. That was my first idea. Hire an engineer and producer. What's the show? You never actually hit it. We need the Log Line in Hollywood-Speak. "I talk to my parents for hours." How long are you projecting the show to be? After you get rolling and are familiar...

Re: How to delete the click track after recording vocals?

Almost all good quality voice recording is done with large, sealed headphones. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg It's not only a sound quality or syncing thing. If you listen to your real-time presentation, your voice volume variations and theatrical bumps and emphasis magically go aw...

Paste Special

I know there's a way to do this, I just can't find it.

Copy a big chunk of sound from a long track. Select a shorter portion of a second track and Paste, but the paste cuts to the length of the second track selection. The length of the second track doesn't change.

Re: Bypassing effects

You don't have a SELECT button because you have an older version of Audacity. You can fake one by clicking just right of the up arrow. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/JusttRightOfTheUpArrow.jpg Audacity 2.4.2 has a formal Select button down there. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/Auda...

Re: Audacity not responding

Are we trying to rescue a surveillance event?

We're not touching up the vocals in a song are we?

What is the show?

It was my battery on my guitar.
That's never happened to me.

Re: Can't open file

The upcoming Audacity 3.0 doesn't save projects that way.

Re: Can't open file

Early on during the editing process I changed the name of the file. How? The "official" name of the show is burned into the data of the AUP file. You can't arbitrarily change it outside of Audacity. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/aupFileGraphic-redbox.jpg The show may open if you...
