Re: Why does Audacity crash every couple minutes?

Stop doing that. Audacity 1.2.5 is ancient and known to be unstable.

Re: "Stuttering" Glitch

The jury is still out, by the way. You don't have speed problems. They usually show up as gritty sound or holes in the show. That's not what you have.

Re: "Stuttering" Glitch

Live recording is stressful for the machine. That and video production are responsible for trashing more computers than anything short of fire or earthquake.

Re: noise reduction

Overload and clipping are one of things you can do to kill your show. There is no recovery. You need to reduce your recording volume until it stops doing that. People doing live recording find out right away that their iPod music, downloads, and TV shows are highly processed to sound very loud and c...

Re: New to audacity help

The sound tracks are in my itunes How did you get them there? If they are downloaded and protected sound files, you will not be able to just drag them out to the desktop and then Import them into Audacity. Try it. Select one of the songs and see if it will let you drag it to the desktop. Managing t...

...and type B on the other.

The restriction is length. You can't go reliably over about ten feet and you can't go through a USB hub at all.

Re: Setting up Adacity to record DJ mixes

Re: Setting up Adacity to record DJ mixes

Master2 or Record Out.

Re: "Stuttering" Glitch

I can't explain that one. In each case the first instance of the word has a trailing segment where the digital process goes insane -- then it repeats the word -- correctly. Since I got nothin', I would do a simple drive test. Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities > select your system drive and > Verify Di...
