8:14:59 PM: Error: Directory 'C:\Users\JOHNDE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\audacity_1_2_temp\project31272' couldn't be created (error 5: access is denied.) This seems to suggest you don't have permission to create new work in that directory. Audacity has to make a personal copy of the music you're trying t...

It would be interesting, yes. Use Track Copy (Control-D??) the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) and the various equalizer and volume controls. There is a problem with cancellation. It doesn't work with "Sounds Like." For two sound tracks to cancel, they need to be bit-accurate a...

I can still open an existing Audacity project aup file and see the waveforms.

And hear it? Shouldn't leave out any steps. The blue waves and the sound come from different places. That's why Gale asked you if you could hear the work in the absence of the waves.

To bring this around, the super bad news is you may have a one-off computer problem.

That is a Mac post, not Windows. There are a number of Audacity Mac problems. Apple decided to include extreme power saving for its product line and it created a number of destructive problems. "We perceive you're not doing anything important just now, so we're going to shut the processor down ...

My mixer "natural" Tape Out is higher than it needs to be for Audacity. Try reducing the Audacity recording level. My computer Stereo-In is pretty robust and likely to survive the mixer signal. I know it's not fashionable, but you really do need to watch the Audacity sound meters to avoid ...

I have seen several recent previous posts about this same problem. Each time, no one could duplicate it. Can you point us to these posts? Audacity 2.0.6 and Win7 is one of the successful combinations. That's what's causing all the raised eyebrows. I was going to ask you if previously successful MP3...

There is one other problem. If you have a "120 minute" cassette (60 on a side) or 90 minute (45 on a side), an Audio CD only supports 78 minutes (80 plus housekeeping).

The background voice seems to be a vocoder effect (maybe more than one) and an important feature seems to be that it's late, like a long hallway echo. I would just create the backing track and delay it with Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows). Vocoder takes two sounds and jury's out on what ...

hollow sound indoors You do need to pay attention. The microphone will pick up a person talking in interview and the wall behind them . The wall behind them is bouncing echoes from the rest of the room. A room with bare walls and floor is still regarded as an aggressively hostile recording environm...
