Audacity Forum

I think I'd start here: Windows comes out of the box now set for corporate sound conferencing. They threw in the towel on being a generic computer and many machines won't record entertainment performances without a little help. See if any of these settings affects you... http://forum.audacityteam.or...

Mac Mini 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo Tiger OS-X 10.4.11 Audacity 1.3.12 96000, 32-float.

Open Audacity. Generate > Ton...

And to complete the circle, when you get to the final show, Export a WAV in addition to the MP3. The perfect WAV file becomes your archive master of the show. Back it up to a second drive. As you go through your production, Save A Project under different names. Every ten minutes? Every twenty minute...
