Audacity Forum

The fuzzy rule is Audacity will not make trash into a voice. If you can already understand the voice clearly, sometimes Audacity can make it a little clearer. The tools are intended to take a good voice and make it into a broadcast presentation. You compounded the problem with an MP3 recorder to cap...

Oh, right, you're trying to record a musical performance from the crowd without the crowd overwhelming the recording. For experimental reasons, of course. The best you can do is "squash" the crowd sounds with the compressor tools so they're slightly higher than the show. Effect > Compresso...

Recording Sound Playing on Your Computer is a zoo. Macs have never been able to do this without software or hardware help and only the older Windows machines can still do this reliably. Macs have a software package called SoundFlower that allows the extra sound pathways to provide (for example) YouT...

2 - Cannot open Audacity projects created with an Audacity 1.3.3 beta installation in my Windows Vista and/or XP We tell people you can't move Projects because it's Not Simple. You have to move the AUP file, the _data folder and all its contents and all the music files you used in the show and thei...

This is my applications folder...
Your installer "drive" should not be in the applications folder. I have my Mac show me file extensions so my applications all read like "audacity.app." Normal Macs don't do that.

I may have to take these as I get time. 1. What you are intended to do is Control-Click on your desktop > New Folder called Audacity1.3.3. I hope you mean 1.3.13 . Audacity 1.3.3 is not as stable as the newest version. Open the installer "drive" you got from the download and collect the co...

Right then. So QuickTime INFO thinks you have a perfectly correct and valid WAV sound file. If you then open that sound file up in a fresh new Audacity, do you get blue waves on the timeline like this... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg ...or a straight line where I show blue wa...

OK. We progress. The mixer Master Output would be the show going to the rock-crusher amplifiers driving the weapon's grade speakers in the club. The Recorder Output is usually the "dry" show missing the output equalizer and sometimes the master fader. Both should be active if you have a sh...

I renamed files and moved them to various folders. The AUP file tends to be a laundry list of where things are and what they were called. That's its job. You can sometimes open up one in a text editor and read it to get the info of the show components. This is a simple one. Note the two aliasfile l...

Audacity Projects are good for when you have a multi-channel show with effects and need to save it for work later. Please note that Audacity Projects do not save UNDO, so once you close a show and open it again, there is no more Control-Z UNDO until you make more changes -- and then you can only UND...
