Re: Cassette tape to CD

Once Audacity gives you a sound file, you must put that file into a Music CD Authoring Program, such as iTunes or the newer Windows Media. Music CD is a special music format on the disk and not just a collection of files like a hard drive. Koz

Re: LAME isn't working

Lame doesn't "do" anything. It loads instructions behind the curtains so Audacity knows how to make MP3 files the next time it opens. Did you restart Audacity?

File > Export > MP3 > Filename > Save

Re: VST plugin problem!

No luck. If the plugin tries to launch fancy graphics right at the beginning, it's not going to load in Audacity. Audacity doesn't support VST graphics.

Re: VST plugin problem!

You used to need "VST Bridge" software to get Audacity to recognize VST plugins. Maybe that's still true.

Re: Problem using PC headset mics with a Yamaha audio mixer.

The guy was making it so he could plug a PC mic into a guitar effects pedal That's what his intention was, but I bet it didn't work.

Re: Remove Vocals From Song

There are stand-alone MP3 editors that allow you to do very simple editing and cutting and I think volume changes without re-encoding and increasing the compression damage. MP3 works by comparing segments of audio to each other. The minute you change the relationship between parts of the song -- lik...

Re: cant export mp3!!!!

Try exporting the music again, but don't put punctuation marks or dates in the filename. Today is not 3/14/02. It's 201210314. Computers hate slashmarks in filenames. Stay away from other punctuation marks, too. See if that helps.
