You have a Nagra and it was playing the tapes like that? Do you know anything about the tapes? I'm trying to remember if the older mono Nagra is compatible with stereo Nagra tapes. I just don't know without making a lot of calls. Yes, I wouldn't be shocked to find it hard to buy Scotch 808. You sho...

Was this an original show capture? That is, you were recording a show when Audacity went belly-up? Do you know why? Did the machine go all the way to being unresponsive and you had to hold the power button -- or just Audacity crashed or froze?

Audacity has provision to add a label at any time in the recording. You can then use the labels (which later become sticky) to identify the track breaks. My Hot Key is Command-B or Tracks > Add Label. Yours is going to be different, but all Audacity programs have one. One oddball thing you need to b...

The Mac and iTunes is the source of the music. I've never done this, but I suspect you could record the Mac with SoundFlower software and get t...

Koz - I think I led you astray with my lack of knowledge about balanced/unbalanced. The cable has a stereo mini-plug and on the wire it states "2 pin hot". Thanks for the images. I ordered the cable from B&H. I have had no trouble with it. Yet, that you know of. That is almost certain...

"If you are short of space, open Explorer, right-click over the drive you are using, choose "Properties" and press "Disk Cleanup"" For isn't it a dangerous/risky thing for a non-expert computer use to do that? If the computer seems to be working properly except for som...

Please note the bass and drums vanished, too. This clip illustrates almost everything that can go wrong except I started with a Very High Quality Stereo original song. No compression artifacts to struggle with and no accidental mono download. People who post these are almost always after the theatri...
