We're pleased you're not a basket case by now, so we'll keep at it. Please know that we're all volunteers and this isn't a help desk. It's a bi-directional forum. Anything we do to help you may be valuable when somebody else comes along with similar problems. You shouldn't think of digital audio as ...

Audacity isn't a WAV editor. It's an audio or production editor. I believe you can go into Audacity Preferences and set things to match 44100, 16-bit, Stereo audio CD format and also stop dithering. We're betting you will not be able to hear the difference. The dithering signal is very low and it's ...

Hold the connector by the rubber or insulated jacket. Run Audacity in record and turn the record volume slider all the wa...

I ran across this note: If you are an end user and would like to use the Fraunhofer mp3 encoder or decoder, please use Apple iTunes or Windows Media which integrate the Fraunhofer mp3 software. The money-based software packages (Cool Edit, Audition, iTunes etc.) have the original, licensed Fraunhofe...

I have some sound files that I got from some old records It's not going to help. If you're trying to suppress the clicks and pops associated with old records, Noise Removal is going to fail. There are other much better tools to clean records. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_copying_ta...
