Re: Timer

What happens if I make an error? I'm big on error correction -- or notification. I'd like errors to turn red rather than ripple. Or the ability to ripple back. I think that's what happened to me in my "simple" capture recording. It's entirely possible I selected too many hours and the date...

Re: splitting recording headache

I'm not entirely sure where you're stuck, but if you've never done this before, we'll be talking different words for a while. The way I find a clip in the middle of a long piece is find the waveforms for the start and end through zooming and placing labels at the two points. Zoom out and drag-select...

Re: splitting recording headache

I have saved it as a mp3 for later burning to CD. OK. Or maybe not OK. Audacity captures and internally uses a very high quality, uncompressed format. Music CD is a very high quality uncompressed format. MP3 is a compressed format that adds distortion and damage. You should be exporting WAV for thi...

Re: no keyboard shortcut to "Export as MP3"

You can export whatever you want by drag-selecting a portion of the show and then File > Export Selection.

Re: Make a slowly increasing frequency sound?

Audacity 1.3.13 > Effect > Sliding time and pitch.

Apply the tool to an existing normal tone.

Re: Exporting to MP3 without certain tracks

Vocal Removal fails more often that it succeeds. If the singer isn't in the left-right stereo center of the show, you lose. If your show is mono and not stereo, you're dead. Put the show on the timeline. If you get a stereo track, do the two bouncing green meters match exactly? Then you have a two-t...
