Audacity Forum

I'm just incredulous that the uncompressed data needs to be stored on disk. It doesn't. Audacity > Preferences > Import / Export > When importing audio files... But it will only do that efficient trick with flat, uncompressed original files or shows. You hit the jackpot: a poorly supported, highly ...

We live on details. Which microphone? Model Number? Which Windows?

633mb * 6 It doesn't work like that. 633 is the compressed DTS file size. Decompress it to a much larger file and then split it up to six channels, each one full, uncompressed quality. Say 2:1 DTS, that gives you 1266. Times 6....... Audacity doesn't work internally at 16-bit. It works at 32, so th...

I'm going to write this down. You may be the only person who ever got Import Raw to do anything useful.

Roll the machine back to Win7? "Some instruments missing" sounds like a cancellation problem. I wired a cartridge wrong once and got that. If instead of adding left and right together to get mono, you subtract them, the instruments in the left and right dead center will vanish. That's how ...

Sure. Use the Envelope tool, two white arrows and bent blue line. When you select the tool, it will give you two blue "steering" lines in the timeline. They're rubber bands and when you push them around, the sound follows them.

Doesn't the raw import give you the ability to select the sample rate? You picked the wrong one. Once it's on the timeline, you can use the drop-down to the left and change it there, too.

a DTS track from a movie for editing. This created a 633MB file. Right. So you didn't get a 633MB audio file, you got a 633MB DTS Multi-Track highly compressed performance. Given the Mac has the ability to natively read DTS (I believe it should) it's entirely possible when uncompressed into its 6 c...

Nobody touched 78. The grooves on a 78 recording are wider than either 33-1/3 or 45. They're not directly interchangeable. Many cartridge makers produce a special needle for 78 disks. If you don't do that, the LP needle drags on the bottom of the 78 groove and rattles between the two walls giving di...

1. Is there an easy way to edit out applause in a musical recording with Audacity? That would be no. We can't take a performance apart into individual instruments, voices and sounds. Inversion, cancellation and other tricks such as that have such crazy, stringent rules that they are effectively imp...
