Re: recording stops working

A particularly aggressive virus protection program can insist on inspecting every file transfer including the real time file management that recording and playback does -- thereby making them no longer real time.

Re: Not responding on Export

after the page pops up that asks where I want to save the file it freezes and stop responding. We want to be accurate here. It freezes as the dialog box arrives, or it freezes after you put a location in and press Save? Somewhere in the middle? And yes, this would be typical of one of the fixes bet...

Re: new Audacity windows open too high up on the desk top

Here it is. Window > Zoom should temporarily bring all four edges back.

Re: Repair/Recover distant audio, remove buzzing noise

We might should gotta go back further. I have made "throw-away" copies of shows I've been involved with. They're not official and sometimes they were never checked after the show. Do you know for sure that these were the "air tapes?" They could very easily have mistakenly been pr...

Re: Stripping Audio from an MP4 Video

If you install the FFMpeg software...

Then under certain conditions, Audacity will open the sound portion of a movie.

You still need a video editor to re-integrate an edited track back into the movie.

Re: Portions of wave form have flat tops and bottoms

By the way, this is the magic place we started using the UCA-202. Far better behavior.

Re: Portions of wave form have flat tops and bottoms

My experience, such as it is, is with the Arts services. The artsTest sound inspection tool was so bad that one of the programmers rewrote it so it was useful. I'm not sure what else I can do to have the system (all pieces, hardware and software) treat my port as a true Line-in port. Maybe that's be...

Re: Acoustically recording electric piano

If you like the sound of the instrument in the room then you're pretty much stuck with recording it that way. As you noted, your piano direct sounds OK but sterile and non-musical. Same thing happens when you record your guitar pickup direct -- which does work well, by the way. It doesn't sound anyt...

Re: make my voice sound like I am ill

OK, there is one. We can do a credible job with "Air Traffic Controller." That's mostly the telephone effect and lots, and lots of distortion. We can do distortion. But even there, without the acting, without the clipped, rapid, no-nonsense delivery and swing, it still sounds like you in y...

Re: make my voice sound like I am ill

We kill almost all requests that start: "..make my voice sound like..." It's really hard to change a voice without making it sound like a machine did it. Audacity has no tools that can turn a human voice into a different human voice. I admit this is a new version. Usually we are asked to c...
