I need to write a program that will compare files but ignore small differences. Exactly. In the early days of Mac video editing, the ivory tower people designed Final Cut to insist on absolute perfect matchup between time code, frames, and audio sync. More times than I care to count, we had to reso...

Just a quick question, what happens if you need an auto recording to stop prematurely? I do that twice a week using a separate recording program. Does Audacity trash the recording?

I've had this problem. I need to start a recording manually and then go out to the Tesco for a liter of milk. The Tesco is 35 miles away and I need to recording to stop automatically at 1430 hrs. What happens when you start a recording manually and there is an auto recording scheduled to start while...

Welcome to one of the disadvantages of USB microphones. You can't get away from the computer. There are well-shielded USB extension cables. You might try one of those. There is one other USB trick. You can use a USB hub that plugs into the wall for power. That will double the distance you can go. Th...

when I use Audacity to record the same DAT twice with dithering off, I should indeed expect to see two bit-identical files. No. When you open up a music file -- not capture a DAT recording -- you can expect bit tracking. As we repeatedly point out, Audacity is a complete slave to the computer and t...

If you need to use yours, it's not going to take forever and you don't have to surgically match up the ends -- or at most, you may have to do it once. Select what you have (click in the number panel to the left of the track), ...

You need to not put your guitar in the fan.

You need to select Line-In in the Windows Control Panels and then Audacity.

1. I'm sure there may be others, those two are the only ones that popped up and we could demonstrate any success. There is a YouTube video where somebody went to the bother of manually phase inverting one track of a stereo show, etc. etc to get voice removal. That's what the Vocal Removal in Audacit...

Can you hear the buzz when you're listening to the headphone connection on the mixer? The buzz never changes, right? It's a constant whine in back of everything -- even when you have all the faders on the mixer turned down? You can set Audacity preferences to Playthrough (or software playthrough -- ...
