Re: newbie with bit rate question

Did you listen to it after you exported it? 32 should have sound pretty ratty (honky, bubbly) compared to the original file. MP3 gets its small files by throwing away sound quality. If you throw away too much, the show will start to sound damaged. Each MP3 export increases the damage, in your case b...

Re: How do you record what you hear and what you say?

No. The problem is communications programs like to take over the sound channels. That's why Skype was so successful. If you start Skype, it completely takes over the sound channels in your computer no matter what else is running. If you reassign them in order to record them, then the communications ...

Re: New to Audacity: how to unmute and lengthen tracks

Please note that many recovery or UNDO tools only work if you never close Audacity. Even if you Save an Audacity Project which tries to maintain your editing display, conditions and tools, Projects do not save UNDO.

Re: How can I correct audio drift when syncing 1 hour long v

That's about right for the 29.976/30 frames per second video thing in the US. It misses about a frame per minute. After about two minutes some people can see a lip sync error. After three, it's obvious to a lot more people. By five minutes, it starts to look weird. But the editor is supposed to know...

Re: How do you record what you hear and what you say?

And just when you think you have it nailed, somebody posts that they got it all to work with nothing more than Audacity, a computer, internet connection and cup of coffee. We and they can't explain it. They just pushed some buttons and it all worked, and continues to work. I suspect they have a magi...

Re: Error while opening sound device.

Are you running out of room? Even Win7 computers fill up their hard drives. Audio take up a lot of room on the hard drive and it's easier than you think to fill them up. Start > My Computer > right-click c: > Get Info or Get Properties. There's a fuzzy rule that you need 10% to 20% of your hard driv...

Re: Stereo split issues amplifying right side while recordin

So while recording a song Where is the song coming from? Live microphone? Recording from the internet? In general, Audacity doesn't do a thing to sound during recording. Whatever the computer supplies is what goes down. So if you make a recording and the sound balance is off, I'd be looking at the ...
