saving default would be the same format and parameters as the origin.

See Tina the Tech Writer in "Dilbert." She's my hero. If there's anything harder than programming/development, it's writing down what you did. I'm a minor deity at work because I can write coherent English....most times. We're open for people who want to write the instructions. Interested?...

A quick note on "latency" (delays). There are two. Recording Latency is fully correctable inside Audacity. That's where you sing in exact, perfect time to your rhythm track and it comes out perfect when you play it back. That's the easy one. That one's a slider. Computer latency is when yo...

In a word, no. At the top of the tutorial we describe three different "perfect" methods of doing sound-on-sound. They all involve special hardware and they're special because they allow you to listen to your own performance in real time and theatrically correct. All the other methods are l...

No, we're not a good forensics tool. As above, if the noise is the same level as the voices, or worse the noise is louder, then there isn't a lot of hope. There are no accessible software packages that "know" what a voice is. We're all doing blind changes in hopes that they do what we want...

Did you try the equalization filter? Try to replicate the blue wave by clicking and dragging it around. It's a rubber band. Pay attention to the settings at the bottom, too. Koz

convert it to an mp3 for editing. Which you shouldn't be doing, either. MP3 adds musical damage every time you make a new one and you have to make a new one when you get done editing. For best results you should be editing in WAV, AIFF or other uncompressed music format -- which you will not be abl...

Fourth time now. We need you to say the words "I went into Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input and checked the sound meter there." Leave Audacity closed. Audacity can only work with the sound that the computer supplies to it.

All of my "reel to reel" cassette machines died from arthritic belts. My portable WalkMan/Panasonic Personal Music Player is still working just fine because it does not use belts. If you find a nice one, it will have Dolby and tape type switches. 1. The original complaint was no bass. 2. I...

And there's a very simple reason it sounds funny -- or one reason. If you (a man) and your sister both say "ssss" or "fffff" you will not be able to tell who said it. But if you speak, it's apparent immediately. So you can't shift everything . Some parts you have to leave alone. ...
