Re: How to use transport toolbar (advance/return) ?

Which is a long way of saying Audacity doesn't scrub. You can't just grab the playhead and push it around to make the audio speed up or slow down and get to an edit point. It's a Very Frequently Requested Feature. I use only three magnifiers and drag-select to do almost everything. I turn off Prefer...

Re: Convert stereo to mono

Wait.

Down in the Caribbean somewhere, right? I think we've been here before. This is an old post. "I want to shrink this bible study to mono but I can't. Please help me."

So whoever they are, they haven't fixed their mixer yet.

Re: How to change tone of voice (not pitch)?

Some one will correct me, but that clip is just autotuned and then cut into the song. Autotune has settings where you can tell it how vicious to be with the correction. Normally you would use it to gently push the pitch of a voice into tune with the song, but you can also use it to force a voice fro...

Re: Convert stereo to mono

You understand that you are in the position of the boy that runs through the house looking for a fire extinguisher and then will not tell you why? Where did the damaged track come from? I can think of no natural, graceful way to get a track with that condition. All the methods involve wiring errors,...

Re: Using Compression while recording?

Sometimes an analog/hardware limiter/compressor is used between the preamp and the ADC.

Re: All I need to do is burn my cassettes to CD's

One of the radio engineers where I used to work years ago could hear reliably out to 19.5 KHz. Life must have been interesting for him although he never complained about about anything. I have a CD called "In the Digital Mood" (Grusin-Rosen Productions). The object was to produce a perfect...

Re: Convert stereo to mono

I'm assuming your show is a normal theatrical presentation like singing or guitars and not test signals. The right and left portions of the show cancelled out. Stereo to Mono works by adding the two blue waves to each other and diving by two to avoid channel overload. If the two sets of blue waves a...

Re: All I need to do is burn my cassettes to CD's

One of the reasons to use WAV as an archive standard is you can always go down to lesser quality formats, but you can't easily come back up. People who download a marginal quality MP3 and then try to edit and create a new MP3 frequently have bubbling, gargling and honky sound compression problems as...
