Re: UGH,.. Lost,...

Is this really such a big deal? Yes, it is. As above, you bought a business computer and corporations tend not to need to record a cat flushing the toilet on YouTube. to perform this rather simple task Which it's not. You really need to stop thinking about it that way. Recursive re-entry is a speci...

Re: merging

That's a little open ended, you can't smooth out the transition between 'Nine Inch Nails' and 'John Philip Sousa.' When straight cuts don't do it, you can use the envelope tool to create a fade between two pieces of music on different tracks. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/CrossFade.jpg That's a...

Re: USB mics don't work right for me

Are you going through a USB Hub? USB microphones have to be home runs to the computer. Yes, we have a Snowball at work and it's a model of simple, good recording. One of the other engineers called in to a video conference with the mic going through a hub along with his keyboard and mouse and it soun...

Shucks. That was the low-hanging fruit.

I need to leave for a while. The other elves will be along.

Re: UGH,.. Lost,...

To be fair, you did pick one of the more convoluted jobs in computer land. Many of the modern Windows laptop computers have this function locked out and all the modern Macs can't do this at all without additional software or hardware. It's not a guaranteed computer service like lighting up the scree...

Re: Playback Will Not Advance - Location Indicator Stuck

Did you finally get to the end of your hard drive?

Start > My Computer > Right-Click C: > Properties. You need about 10% free space (or more) to edit.

Re: PLEASE HELP!!

Point to Point Skype calls are free and group calls are free as long as you're calling into a group manager, or someone who has a paid license. I think it also cost money if one of you is on a cellphone or land-line because those interchanges cost money. It gets more complicated as you graduate into...

Re: Recording result sounds thin out of phase

You may not have turned enough things off. That sounds like Windows Enhanced Audio doing its thing. This will be there whether or not you run Skype.

Re: file sizes are wacky!

Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It pulls the music inside itself in a very high quality format, edits it, and then creates a whole new MP3 when it's done. So the output MP3 can be whatever size you want by managing the bitrate with the options part of the export panel. However. The honky, gargling and bu...

Re: Help Across all 2x versions, May be Sound Related

Does anything make noise? Do you get the Windows launch sounders?
Are your headphones dead, too?

Which Windows?
