Re: Importing audio clips to same track???

No. That's Append/Import and that's a very, very popular Feature Request. Import all your sound on their own tracks and then select them all Edit > Select > All. Then Tracks > Align Tracks > End-To-End. They will play one after the other with no gaps and you can edit them that way, too. When you're ...

Re: Recording issue, help plesae

It doesn't take 20 seconds to test your connections. Audacity has a diagnostic tool. The right-hand, recording sound meters are red (while they're working). You can right-click inside them anywhere > Start Monitoring. The meters are now active and if you play the cassette machine, the meters should ...

Re: Help ASAP

I have a recording on a Samsung glaxys s4
It's a live recording of a performance or event, right? Most Personal Recorders will not record both sides of a telephone call.

Re: Recording on 2 Tracks

We warn people that it's difficult for us to be instant experts on everybody's different equipment. No, I was assuming an analog connection where you could split the cables and record Left and FX Send instead of Left and Right. I think you can still do this. Pan your voice all the way left and pan t...

Re: Missing Audio Data Block Files?? HELP

I opened the _data folders, and there was nothing. Can you use different words? You opened the _data folder in the Mac and it was empty, or you launched the .aup file and the .aup file opened the _data folder and it was silent? I've worked with it long enough to know not to do anything to the _data...

Re: Recording on 2 Tracks

The idea of the hybrid is to isolate your voice from the caller. It should be possible to feed your voice to the hybrid from an effects-send on the mixer so the caller can hear you independent of what the show is doing. Then bring the caller back into the mixer as a regular sound channel. If the hyb...

Re: Mitigate overdose of reverb

There's a setting and process by which Noise Removal will help get rid of echoes/reverb. I got it to work... once. It was such a surprise I wasn't able to remember what I did or write down the settings. Koz

Re: best way to improve old audio

Attached is your sample with a little gentle Noise Removal applied (before and after). If this is enough improvement, I can tell you how I did it, but it's my opinion you're going to have to tune each show independently. Noise removal works by giving Audacity a little taste of the noise (the profile...

Re: Sound Quality Feedback

Chris's default settings are gentle and graceful, but they're not the ones I use. I'm after listening to uncontrolled (podcast version) shows in the noisy car, so I pump up the first value, compression ratio to 0.77 from 0.5. When I do that, the show sounds very like the same show broadcast on the l...

Re: Missing Audio Data Block Files?? HELP

Audacity doesn't save sound files. It saves Audacity Projects which consist of an AUP project manager text (not sound) file and a similarly named _DATA folder with all the actual music in it, but in pieces. Did you save and move both? glory_to_the_heavenly_host.aup (text file) glory_to_the_heavenly_...
