Re: questions re: stereo = balanced vs unbalanced = mono?, T

You have no option the RCA cables. They're unbalanced. The show signal is on the center pin and the protection ground is the circular collar. One cable for Left and one for Right. The main shortcoming with those is short cable runs like from the tuner or CD player to your amplifier. http://kozco.com...

Re: autoscroll

How do I toggle to autoscroll on playback?
You can make Audacity "auto flip" to the current screen on Record, but not Playback. Someone will correct me, but that's a feature request.

Re: Cannot save Project, Exporting Only last Few Minutes of

I think the idea of the second sound program is to provide a safety copy of the show so you won't have to produce it again. Since it plays OK, telling the computer to record Computer Playback (Stereo Mix) will give you a new digital copy of the show. It may still go into the mud since we have no goo...

Re: psychoaccoustics?

It sounds like high voice compression, MP3 damage (same thing) or bad noise removal. Now we should listen to it before you tried to fix it. I'm guessing we're listening to your fix distortion, not the voices.

Re: Recording from line in stops

I would certainly start by updating to the current 2.0.6 Audacity.

When it asks you if you want to do a fresh start, to delete all traces of the old program, say yes.

Re: Yet another total n00b

I am the publisher/rights holder, so I am aware I am doing this! We knew you were the author because you said so. We didn't know you were self-published. the guy at Audible rejected it, but said it was promising. Now I'm not so sure. Oh, he was right. It is promising. As I said up the post: I could...

You get pops in the sound when you try to edit the blue waves in the wrong place.

Re: Yet another total n00b

You used Noise Removal on that last clip right? That's how you got the noise level so low? The original clip you sent sounded natural and human with normal mistakes. This one sounds more cellphonie and talking into a wine glass honky. That could be the MP3 quality you sent, too. Never do production ...
