Re: Help me to understand something

It doesn't work. Maybe it doesn't work on your file. You can use MediaInfo to tell what you really have... http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download ...or you can get an idea by telling Windows to stop hiding the filename extensions.

Re: Can audacity direct-write to a file?

I'm fuzzy, but I think if you start a Project, save it once and add to it, it does pretty much that. When you're done, File > Save and all Audacity has to do is tie a ribbon on the files already there. I don't think it actually saves anything more if you do that. Hotkey Control-S. If the show is End...

Re: stay on top

All the control keys and hotkeys are shared between programs. The one on top gets them, so you can't have two programs on top. Why did you want this?

Re: Behringer q802usb - help with effects

Correct. It has an Effects Send. Plug that into whatever separate echo generator you bought and then bring the output of that generator back into the mixer to mix it with your live voice. Or instead of your live voice. I can't go any further without ripping into the instruction book.

Re: Improving a voice recording with heavy clipping

What's the bumper-sticker explanation of that? Somehow you have to do something to the clipped areas to make them less objectionable. What does this code do? Or is the real problem finding them all? I know clipping distortion always goes up in pitch and low pass equalization can help by simple round...

When I wrote the first overdubbing tutorial, I purposely included three hardware devices that don't have this problem. Most soundcards do.
