Re: Can't get Audacity to find LAME

Next time you have an Audacity 1.3.12 question, post it in the 1.3 forum, not 1.2.

Thanx,

Re: Can't get Audacity to find LAME

Did you get lame from the right place? Not all lames are created equal. You need to get the lame from the same place you got Audacity. http://audacityteam.org/download/ That may not be your problem, but it's the usual problem with these questions. I think the Windows elves have been recommending dow...

Re: Noise Reduction of background hummng

Noise reduction and the other "rescue" tools work on the idea that you have a really good show with something minor or gentle wrong with it. Many people want the tools to turn garbage into a show. There was a poster several days ago that wanted to "clean up" his performance. When...

Re: Noise Reduction of background hummng

The spectrum view is frequently more valuable in Log rather than Linear. Many people pick 400Hz has the "middle" of all frequencies. In Log view, it actually ends up in the middle. Plus that view gives much better data down at 50Hz and 60Hz, the two hum frequencies. Also, size can be much ...

Re: Noise Reduction of background hummng

Do you know that you can batch Noise Reduction? In Audacity batch is called "Chains" and not all tools and filters can be chained. It's not that someone wrote Chains and all Audacity tools magically batch. Each filter and tool has to be individually programmed to Chain, so each one is gold...

Re: Unusual, infuriating issue with playback. HELP PLEASE

If you find yourself editing two and three hour long shows, that doesn't work. Audacity slows down to being almost unusable, so you have to leave that Copy setting alone. You can save the Project several times along the way as different names to protect yourself against failure of any one. At the en...

Re: AU File Numbering

If we go back to the sequential system of 1.2.x, then files are sequentially numbered as they are recorded. True. And the problem with that is what? Somebody must have thought that technique was deficient. I'm fascinated with the idea that someone thought, no doubt after a particularly difficult ev...

Voice Activated Recording

Re: Automatic recording at start-up

I think the only way to do that is to set the Audacity timer feature to start about a minute after the machine boots.

You can leave the machine operating all the time and use Sound Activated Recording. Audacity will only record when there is noise, music, or voice.

Re: Levels too low, but peak volume is high

If I just take that wave file and listen to it on some audio system (stereo, car, etc.), it sounds too soft,
Missed a lot of steps there. How are you getting a WAV file to play in your car?
