That's a simple subset of the missing tools. Scrub with your mouse to find the first edit point -- the in point. I. +, 1, 0, 0, Enter. This moves the cursor forward one minute. Mark the out point. O. Delete. Please note that if you know ahead of time that the example segment is one minute long, you ...

Anybody know this one without setting up an experiment? Edit the first half of a show in default Audacity where the project points to external music files. Now change the preference to where Audacity pulls music inside. What happens to the originally edited segment? Do you now have a half and half s...

If you are playing an Audacity Project (AUP file), then you need to keep all the original sound files you used in the show. You can't "clean up" the files, move them, rename them, or delete them. You can only do that after you Export As WAV or other sound format. Audacity doesn't pull musi...

Audacity 1.3 didn't make that assumption. I think it defaults to stereo, not mono. Let's see what turns up.

None of these work on a mono music file and they all work poorly on MP3 compressed music because of the MP3 damage. This business fails much more often that it succeeds.

<<<Audacity NR I can hear some slight degradation of the guitar sound>>>

Pretty much why I stopped using it for critical work -- or anything, really. It always does something to the sound. I wonder how that other package is doing it's work.

Some modern Macs will not run Audacity 1.2 at all. If yours is working, you win, but I wouldn't push my luck. This invalid character thing is just a suggestion of the troubles you can get into.

Audacity 1.3.12 is current.

Koz

Yes, but you need to have a stereo show first. You really need to be in Audacity 1.3.12 for intricate editing. Audacity 1.2 is really basic and sometimes it has stability problems with newer computers.

You'll need to do your own testing, but I regularly produce a 50 minute show, 44100, 16-bit, mono WAV and it comes in about 255MB. You can't go perfectly up and down from there, but you can get a rough idea. Stereo is going to be very roughly double. The smaller the show, the worse the approximation...
