We should get the obvious out of the way first. They do open and play, right? Can you export as WAV (Microsoft)? That's the desperation method if nothing else works. Koz

Like a good dog whistle can only be heard by canines. The whistle part, yes. But anybody standing next to you will hear the escaping air and know you're doing something. I bought one from the pet store as a joke and it didn't work. Everybody around me could hear the escaping air and knew I was Up T...

What does it sound like? If it sounds OK it's a graphic problem. If it sounds like garbage, it's an audio problem. We've had both.

There's Effects > Clip Fix. What it tries to do is "paper over" the worst of the damage. You can't actually fix clipping because that's a portion of the recording where there is no recording. It's like somebody took a small hand gun and fired it at the blue waves. The question is can you h...

You can probably ignore Audacity for a while. Back up to the black apple upper left. Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound (sorry) > Input.

It's true. That's a Project Manager text file. The rest of the show probably is not going to fit in the forum. Before we get all technical on you, what's the show? Did you sing into a microphone? Describe what you did and any part numbers you have handy. "I sang into Blue Snowball microphone.&q...

Sorry. Missed one. That bubbly, honky sound is Windows Enhanced Services (probably).
