Audacity Forum

If you already have good, stable music files, then this should be pretty simple. Install Audacity from here... http://audacityteam.org/download/ ..and either drag your files into it, or File > Import. You do need to know that Audacity will not Save a sound file when you're done. It only Saves Audaci...

Yes, but it's actually far worse than that. You also lose the Audacity three-platform talent. On some newer computers, Audacity 1.2 won't even launch. You're far better on Audacity 1.3. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Also get lame and FFMpeg from the same place. They're not cross-compatible. Koz

I know somebody whose "Record Out" doesn't work. You can test the cables by touching them. Set Audacity to recording and touch the hot end of one of your cables instead of plugging it into the amp -- like this, but your cables may be different. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/touch.jpg ...

Sudden, odd computer insanity can be caused by your drive filling up. Is it? How much room do you have and how big is the drive?

I was able to remove the vocals quite easily using this tutorial: Right. And you can get precisely the same effect in Audacity 1.3 with the pre-packaged Effect > Vocal Removal, or the earlier name, Center Pan Removal. It does all that splitting, management and arithmetic for you in one step. That o...

We can't guess what we don't know... We could, but it would take longer. Each type of microphone has different problems. You need to give us a push. I'm speaking into a Logitech Desktop USB microphone plugged into an Intel Mac Mini, OS-X 10.6.8 and I'm using Audacity 1.3.13 which I installed about ...

It's a command-line program, so you have to be comfortable in Mac Terminal.

I'm out of ideas. It's really scary when the example system didn't work right. That is, it did exactly what you wanted, but it was broken. Now you're trying to get a properly working system to replicate the old software and none of the results work as you want. Traditionally, you couldn't force a st...

It's almost a certainty that you will need to adapt the Line-Out or Headphone-Out of your keyboard to the computer. Similar to this... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/UCA202.jpg That's a UCA-202 which will convert high-level stereo (from a cassette machine in this case) to a USB connection. They ...

It may not be obvious, but if you have the paid version of Roxio, it will have burning speed settings there somewhere -- possibly in a preference or pull-down menu. The free version of Roxio is missing some of the tools. Buy or borrow somebody's top quality blank disks -- Maxell, Sony, TDK -- and bu...
