Close Audacity. Control-Click on one of the songs and Open With > QuickTime Player. While it's playing, Command-I to get the INFO panel. Does it say MP3? I'm betting not. Many people thing Digital Music = MP3. When you start to get music that plays in the wrong speed in Audacity, it's a really good ...

<<<to mp3 via ion usb and audacity >>> The ION turntable is a throw-away device. It was designed to transfer all your vinyl to digital and then throw out the vinyl and the turntable. Nobody is expecting super quality or accuracy from a $100 turntable. Did you used one of those speed checker disks on...

Importing music will keep the same Audacity running. You do need to be careful that all the music in your show is the same technical standard. Audacity is a terrible converter. You can't ( or shouldn't) randomly mix MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A, etc. That way lies madness. Your Audacity isn't broken, but if ...

You can continue recording on the same track by pressing Pause and then Pause again to start up again. In Audacity 1.3.12... http://audacityteam.org/download/ ...you can use the Append Record tool, Shift-R. This will make one track longer and longer instead of starting new ones. You can delete any t...

That is a little confusing because I think you left pieces out. Or maybe that's the actual question. Normal MIDI instruments are in two pieces. There is a MIDI program on your computer that sends control signals to the keyboard over a MIDI interface. The keyboard makes the music by having the comput...

We should also determine how much distortion we're talking. Can your mom tell there's something wrong? MP3 always creates some distortion. By the time you hit 128, most of it should be gone in stereo, and in mono, it's almost a perfect replica. Creat a show consisting of a 440 Hz tone at 0.5 level (...
