Audacity Forum

iCal is a scheduling program, not a music player. I can't tell if I understood the problem or not. WAV files will open and play in both QuickTime Player and iTunes. iTunes tries to pull the music into itself and mount it in your library. QuickTime Player just plays it. VLC player will play them, too...

I wouldn't go out of the way to alienate the Mac people. Two of the forum elves are Mac users. You can get symptoms like that if you apply the correction wrong or you selected a profile badly or have a damaged profile. Either end of the tool will do that. You get acceptable noise reduction but it's ...

MP3 file format creates sound damage and you can't stop it. We recommend Exporting valuable capture sessions as Microsoft WAV music files which don't create damage. That's your archive format. It's perfect and all three computer platforms can open them. You can always go "downhill" to MP3 ...

Sorry. Doing two things at once. Once you have a successful recording don't Save anything. Export as a Microsoft WAV music file. That's the protection if everything from there forward goes into the toilet. Don't save any work with the same filename, either. That can kill the produced show and the ba...

Now, as I say that, your computer has to have enough room to do these tricks. Audio production take up a lot of room and Audacity will not operate into a full or highly fragmented drive. Once you have a show, editing, even simple editing can double or triple the amount of drive space needed. This is...

You could do it brute force and just leave the recorder running through the whole thing, split up the shows later and peel off everything you don't want in simple editing. I regularly record two hour long shows and split them up for listening in the car.

I pulled your email address from the posting. We get regular scans from spam generators. It's just been in the last couple of versions we could save an equilizer curve and email it to somebody. Before that,you were on your own with emailing pictures of the tool layout. I don't know what the data for...

You shouldn't be doing either one. Save your work to the music folder, documents folder or desktop. One of the operating folders, not one of the system folders. You can create damage or the computer just won't let you do it.

You can install the FFMpeg software and that should let Audacity open Windows Media files.

Does Audacity figure into this anywhere? We would be downloading and reading the 1832 instruction book.
