Re: Why are my LPrecords in Audacity?

For normal, non-compulsive, non-IT people, two is the limit. Beyond that, one of them will get left out and put your backups out of sync or out of management. There was a study somewhere that beyond two is actually worse for the general population. Ask your mum if she's got all three backups in good...

Re: Novice Question

If you "saved" your work and not "exported" anything, you have an Audacity Project and not a sound file. Double click on the aup file and it will open all those little snippets inside the _data folder and that will go looking for any external music files you used in your show. An...

I haven't used it yet, but I took possession of a BluRay burner. 25GB on one disk. Three of those will back up my whole laptop. Koz

Re: Why are my LPrecords in Audacity?

Yeah, there's quite a hole there. If they're all WAV files, you can burn them to a Data DVD and probably get them all onto one disk (or one and a backup). If your intent is to create new Music CDs, then yes, you'll have to sit through the Music CD Authoring Process one at a time again. What happened...

Re: Need help editing clip

That's peak overloading on the cellphone (or wireless phone) system. Ordinarily, that would kill your interview, there is one tool that might help, the De-Esser.

Re: make my voice sound like I am ill

Was that sample from Trebor any help? No, we still can't change a voice into anything else. Yes, actors do this for a living. You write them a check and hand them a script and get out of the way. Sometimes the least likely people turn out to have really good acting chops. I sat through a presentatio...

Re: Stripping Audio from an MP4 Video

In each of the different Audacity Download pages, scroll down to get to the appropriate '"lame" and "FFMpeg" downloads.

Re: Overdub

Your goal is to play a second tape against the first recording and not have them mix? You got the settings backwards. You DO want Overdub selected and you do NOT want playthrough selected. That corrected combination plays the first track out to the speakers and records a new track with whatever you ...
