Audacity Forum

solid state drive, brand new. So you've been messing around inside your Mac? Did you take a vacuum and soft, clean paintbrush to your fans and vent channels? Keyboard? Do the glitches occur in exactly the same time every time you play the work? Can you find the damage by zooming? It's not that unus...

I have done workable interviews with a smartphone parked on the table between us and a recording app. That's your Plan B if the computer won't do it.

What's the machine and how old is it? When was the First Birthday? Output: mac USB -> SSL 2+ interface -> speakers Can you listen without using a USB service? Do you have a spinning metal hard drive or Solid State Drive? Do you have an iCloud connection or any internet connection while you're transf...

Sometimes for troubleshooting, we have to build your system in our heads, so it's good to know what everything is and how you have it connected. Pretend I'm going to buy what you have. I need model numbers.

can you cause it to fail in a repeatable way? That's a big deal in servicing. "When I do this, it does that— every time ." If you can't come up with an action like that, you have what the developers call "Moon Phase" problems. Sometimes when the moon is quarter full on a Thursda...
