I wish. The best I've been able to do is expand the display to the right and then push it left -- off the screen and keep doing that. The official party line is you don't need zooming because the cursor tools and management will tell you where the peaks are and their value. No, I don't believe it, e...

Post the address of an artist you like and then post a sample of your work here.

There are two delays. The one you can cure is Recording Latency. That's when you sing in perfect time to an existing track, but it plays back all wacky. That one is just a setting to play your existing track early, so everything accumulates into the show in perfect time. The Live Action Latency is n...

While it's unlikely that you can easily record internet audio in Vista and Win7, WinXP should be a walk in the park. However, in all cases, Recording Internet Audio is a dance between three services, the Operating System, the Sound Card and the Drivers. If any one of them drops the ball, that's the ...

Almost certainly not. You can't take apart a mixed show. You can't take one voice out of the chorus and you can't take the TV out of the background of a podcast.

Using the Devices Toolbar, it should be possible to accept sound from and send sound to the microphone -- also known as the USB Sound Device. It should not be necessary to manage the playback sound if you're just listening to yourself. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/device_toolbar.ht...

That was a Feature Request strongly advocated by the forum elves. Getting Audacity to "Start Over" can be an adventure. I don't know if there is such a thing in Audacity 2.0, but I know that was on the slate of improvements. As you may know by now, "Reinstalling Audacity" doesn't...
