Did you go through the Windows Control Panels and look for special effects associated with your sound card? I wrote down where our Win7 machine put ours, but the notes are at work. I say that because it's difficult or impossible to start with the Freecorder one and get to the Audacity version, but I...

That is the only way out of this. If the original work was produced an an insanely high bitrate, you're probably OK. You can do production and go off to your iPod without further unexpected damage. I don't know of a good concert hall effect available on the Mac, but you can try the fake depth trick....

Just in case I missed the question, you can make your existing work longer by selecting your music and copy/pasting it onto the end, doubling the length. You'll have to work a bit to get the beginning and end rhythm to match perfectly. From there you can use the doubling method -- select the first t...

That's MultiTrack/Overdubbing. Adding one new performance over the old ones (on separate tracks) multiple times. The piece we wrote is in two sections. The hardware segment is how to get perfect overdubbing with special equipment like a special microphone or USB adapter. You hear yourself in headpho...

Step one, don't use MP3 for production. It contributes compression damage and bubbling. So now you have two problems, and it's going to get worse because if you make a new MP3, you'll have double the damage, even if you don't do anything else. Do you know somebody with a newer Windows machine? Avery...

It sounds like Audacity is the "real," flat-sounding, off-balance one (especially after you adjust the L and R levels) and FreeCorder has gone through one of the "Concert Hall" effects. I posted elsewhere that we had a new computer in the shop and everybody logged in to get used ...

Newer Windows machines make this very difficult by hiding stuff, or impossible by leaving out tools. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/tutorial_recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer.html Internet recording can mess up corporate collaboration or business conferencing, so they try to hi...

No, it doesn't work backwards, and many times it has trouble working forward, too. Most music has problems with Vocal Removal and there are no tools for Vocal Isolation which is what you want. There are tools (not in Audacity) that claim to be able to manage voices and music in a stereo show, but th...
