Re: Laptop purchasing and Audacity loopback?

See above: Skype can make computer sound services do unpredictable things. Do you produce a recording with you on one channel, say left, and the guest on the other? Sometimes knowing that will point to a recording or hardware method. I can understand how your method could record the far side, but ho...

Re: Adding to the middle of audio

Give me a second. I know this one. Put the cursor at the place you wish to add the voice. Press record and Audacity will start recording at that point on a new track . When you finish, Stop Drag-select the part of the original show that's now in the wrong place and Control-X cut. Move the cursor ove...

Re: Music Isn't Showing Up

when ever I try to import music
From where? iTunes? If you paid the higher rate in iTunes, then you should be able to drag the song onto the desktop and then on to Audacity. If you paid $0.99, it may have copy protection. Does your MacBook Pro have an optical drive?

Re: How to import and export AVI

Is it possible to export an AVI file with video from Audacity?
No. That's why you need to have a good video editor after you cut the sound track so you can marry them again.

Re: Audio Dodo needs help please

There must be some kind of processing associated with that microphone. Or maybe we're listening to some of the processing you did earlier. I think ACX may have just run out of words to describe what they were hearing. I'm having trouble finding words to describe it. Between the words it's weirdly de...

Re: Data files

daniellemix1_data is a folder with the music, clips and other work associated with the project. You should also have a file called daniellemix1.aup. That file has to live in the same location or folder as the _data folder. Double click on the aup file and the project should open. As a practical matt...

Re: No sound

Can you play a YouTube video with sound when Audacity is closed? Do the Windows control panels agree that you don't have any sound devices? Audacity gets its show from the computer. The computer has to know about and be completely comfortable with the microphone or other device before Audacity even ...

Re: Complete noob, looking to see if I'm close to ACX standa

Ian in Hollywood has to come out of his "studio" about every twenty minutes and gasp for air. We do tell people that they can do very well by just leaving the clothing in there. Don't pile the suits and cardigans on the bed. Leave them hanging. Also, you can get additional table isolation ...

Re: Complete noob, looking to see if I'm close to ACX standa

I'm not entirely sure what their reasoning is. And they're emphatic about it, too. Nothing wishy-washy here. Earlier on in video editing, it was highly recommended to have two internal drives. Put the OS and program on one and the show on the other. The machine had perfect, high-speed access to eve...
