You can have a WAV file and not have a Microsoft WAV file, the most common version. Also given Windows, you may not have a WAV file at all. You can force Windows to show you what you really have by revealing filename extensions. -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Optio...

This may not be an Audacity problem. Audacity only records what the computer presents to it. It doesn't process or filter in real time and you cannot use effects during recording. If you like to record internet audio, the settings for that may cause feedback if you unplug your microphone and the bui...

You can get that effect if you edit sound that is out of phase and then listen on a mono sound system. Play this short test track. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhaset4.wav If you have the stereo/mono phase problem, the fourth segment, the out of phase segment will vanish. So you may have two prob...

I thought they all worked like that, but maybe not. ...

They're not actually CDAs. CDAs are just pointers to the real music on the disk. Music CDs have a very severely stripped down filesystem in order to save as much space as possible. Did you notice that if you play a CD on a non computer player there are no music titles? That's because there isn't roo...

That sounds like straight editing. You drag-select the part of the end of the show you don't want and press delete. Export what's left. Another option is to place a label at the beginning of the show and the cut point, drag select between those two points (they're magnetic and sticky) and Export Sel...
