While you have everything on your timeline, Import your sound effect and it will appear on a second timeline underneath everything else and play at the same time. Then use the Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) to slide the effect where you need it. Copy and Paste for more.

Going from 16 to 32 is lossless. The quality of the target is very much higher than the source, but the return trip you're going "downhill" to a lesser quality format, so Audacity has to "guess" at some of the data values. And again, we're talking vanishingly small errors in Musi...

Windows 7 and Windows 8 you often cannot directly unmute playback of the input). Our Win7 conference machines allow muting of the microphone by launching the speaker on the lower right > Speaker Mixer > pull the microphone slider all the way down. We had serious feedback problems until I figured ou...

I can tell by my Spidey Sense that you want to record a round-table with a bunch of people speaking. Perfectly valid, but please note that you will also be recording the room. The Big Kids do shows like that in a studio to eliminate this effect: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/EchoSample.mp3 Th...

Oh, one more. Audacity Projects save your environment -- exactly what you were doing when you pressed Save (except UNDO). A sound file is just a sound file. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_projects.html We recommend exporting sound files periodically as you work to guard against the co...

1. Presumably I can save a new recording as .AUP and reload it into Audacity as many times as I want with no loss due to saving. You're not saving an AUP. You're saving a Project and the AUP file is merely the manager of the project. The show stuff is in the _DATA folder. Keep them together. Audaci...

Audacity slows down as the hard drive fills up. Can you off-load some of the music onto another drive to see if that helps? Audio takes a lot of room and drives fill up quickly. You can also get damage if your USB cable is ratty. Make sure it's plugged in firmly and you might unpug and plug it a cou...

You should add at least one of these... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/RCAMiniStereo.jpg Several RCA to RCA stereo cables. 1/8'" to 1/8" stereo cables, and at least two RCA couplers. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102696 The truly obsessive (and successful) reco...

Where were we.... By now you should have caught on that I keep saying plug the club into your Blue Stereo Line-In and not the Pink Mic-In. Mic-In is for microphones -- exclusively. If you have no Stereo Line-In on your computer, you can pull the UCA202 out of your run bag and plug that in. http://ww...
