No, but you can buy a SMPTE timecode generator and put that (an audio signal) on one of the Audacity recorded channels. I think that's the closest we get to accurate time. You can use that to set audio tracks to 1/30 second accuracy (in the US). That's what video editors use. One of the problems wit...

Step one will be to trash Audacity 1.3.5 and install the latest 2.0.2.

It's possible on some computers to record "what your computer is playing" internally and the presented sound and the recorded sound should be the same. It's also possible to record your laptop's microphone and speakers and that will sound pretty awful. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/...

Thank-you so very much to all who are helping.

You're welcome. What happened when you did your drive test? Macs do not just lose files and create inconsistencies like in your log.

As far as I know, Audacity still doesn't have In and Out points or Edit Markers. Labels are single pointers you can use to define one single time. So you would carefully put a label in the show and then carefully put a second label in the show. Zoom out and the labels become sticky when you drag and...

we are stuck with the wav-file (and a low grade). Typically, people insist on export music as MP3. MP3 is a delivery format and creates sound damage with the goal of a large number of sound files. WAV is an uncompressed format with excellent quality. We recommend exporting a WAV file of a project a...

Audacity, even with the fancy extensions will not edit or export a Windows Media Video file. You need a video editor for that. Splitting off the sound portions of a video file is a snap compared to putting one back together. That's usually where the programmers and developers get you for coding and ...

Agreed. The desired target is the ability to generate a "favorite" effects list and assign them to hot keys. The other logical, and easier to program choice is an effects hierarchy. This was tried once -- to pitchforks and flaming torches. Effects > Repair > Legacy > Nyquist > Noise Reduct...

I think you have some very serious system problems. Close Audacity. From the top of the desktop: Go > Utilities > Disk Utility. It may look something like the attached picture. I have two hard drives, One called "JimmyHD2012" and one called "Jimmy SnowLeopard." I assume you only ...
