Audacity Forum

It seems too simple to do what the poster wants. What happens if the durations of the same song performed twice varies as it almost certainly will. How does it handle harmonics? If the poster gets a head cold, do all the numbers go off? Too close to the microphone and the readings to nuts?

The response to this kind of project is normally "no." If the forum poster can't give me the transcript of what the performer said, the show is usually trash. As you noted, once the show is that bad, you can't perform the "profile selection" step and without that the tool is pret...

The UCA202 has talents way above just playing a tune into a line connection. In many instances, it's the only way to get stereo line-level into your computer. This may be the case for you if you have a modern Mac. It also allows "out of computer" monitoring of the sound in headphones witho...

The only way I know to do that in post production is with Effect > Noise Removal. It works in two steps: The first step is drag-select a portion of the show that's noise-only and no voices. Run the tool and press Get Noise Profile. Then select the rest of the show and run the tool again and this tim...

Did you try a different MP3 compatible player, like maybe the one in your car if it's new enough?

Yours or another computer will play it, right?

Itunes runs on top of QuickTime Services and QuickTime comes with a "real" Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft MP3 license. This is the group that designed MP3. Anything you do after that is up to the hardware. The Headphone Out of a Mac is not terrible. I use mine for testing other audio equipment. I...
