They're both arithmetic tools. They ignore the music and make the highest peak in the work you select come out to 0 if you left the defaults. Amplify does it the same to the whole show and Normalize does it left and right independently. That's pretty much it. This kills people trying to transfer vin...

use the "Sound Activated Recording" feature:

Which kills your "time of day" information. Audacity doesn't have timestamps or SMPTE Timecode unless you add it.

See:
Software designed to do this.

Right then. That's not what happens to me. I get the new file. What's magic about your show? Is it a million hours long? Did you try to use punctuation marks in the filename? Which Audacity version are you using? Where are you saving the files? If you replace the old file with a file longer than the...

Isn't it a 13-1/2 hour limit for 44100, 16-bit, Stereo? Something like that? You should not use lower quality because the filtering and effects tools stop working well. WAV files poop out at either 2GB or 4GB and I forget which one is significant. You really need software that's designed to do this....

Any quick fixes? Not quick, no. The grownups use a large padded table and each actor is at a different end of the table so the backs of the microphones point at each other. The back is the least sensitive part of a directional microphone. And, of course, you need a soundproof room. Two people next ...

leaving the microphone and its ampli connected permanently. And computer. I would guess that even if you managed to get it to work, you wouldn't be able to use the computer for anything else. Audacity is a simple program and it likes running on simple computers. Very few people have managed to make...

Timer Record isn't a program. It's a tool with little windows to put your time in. So you can't change it, although some enterprising soul might be able to whip something up in Nyquist.

You get 128 quality only when you start with a perfect, uncompressed WAV or AIFF. If you start with an MP3, you get the new sound damage ...

The Lame software is in a folder inside the Audacity program folder. You should Save or Export your work to My Music or other working folder, not a program folder. An Audacity upgrade should not change the FFMpeg or Lame software, so your work should still be there. Search the machine for one of the...

Didn't you get this when you tried?
