Re: How to transfer music from a musical keyboard to Audaci

Well, yes. I plug the headphone out of my keyboard into the Stereo Line-In of my Mac. If you have a Windows laptop then the chances are really good you only have a Mic-In which is mono, not stereo, and easily overloaded and distorted. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCLaptopSound.jpg The blue...

Re: Can NOT dismiss "Welcome to Audacity!"

I would probably select AIFF as an export type and then not put anything after the filename including the dot. Let Audacity put the .aiff on for you. AIFF is not an iTunes file. It's a file type that iTunes likes to snuggle up to because it has better metadata support than WAV, but WAV, the Audacity...

Re: USB to Audacity Hum

Still need how you connected the cassette machine to the Mac, which Mac and how old.

Re: Keep getting same error message

You don't have enough access or permission to change those files. You can probably first try the easy Permission Repair. Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities. Select your system drive and Verify Disk and then, when it's finished, Repair Permissions. Leave time. Either of those processes can take a while....

Re: How to convert file .aup to mp3

That's the Audacity Project Manager file. It works with the _DATA folder of the same name to construct your show. Don't lose that folder. Anyway, open the AUP file (which will open the _DATA folder) and when your show arrives in blue waves on the timeline, File > Export > MP3. Audacity doesn't come ...

Re: USB to Audacity Hum

Do us a favor and post your equipment list again when you start a new message. I arrived in the middle of the movie and have no idea what you're doing. When you recorded your show, were the two red recording meters all the way up? Restart Audacity and Generate > Noise: Pink, 0.5 level, any duration....

Re: Manipulating Decibels

Is there any possible way you could post the actual rejection and then acceptance letters? Everybody we talk to always tells us a metaphorical impression of the document and nobody ever posts the document.

Re: Combining Windows Media Player Playback with Mic Input

Wait. You're running a pitch sync tone the entire time you're singing? What happens when you sing a C-G-C-F-C progression or something like that when a specific segment of the song has no relationship with the tone?

Re: Cannot expand collapsed tracks

Do you mean the Zoom tools? Do the manual ones work? Drag-select some small portion of a timeline and zoom into it with Command-E. Zoom back out with Command-F. Did that work?

Many Audacity tools, filters and effects stop working when you're in Pause instead of Stop.

Re: Keep getting same error message

I'd probably start by not posting a TIFF. If you do a screen capture (Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4) it should give you a png picture file. Post that.
