Another problem is the multi-channel audio devices tend to be expensive. None of the elves is going to run out and buy one just to see if it works, and none of the users is going to buy one until they're sure it's going to work on their show. We have a complete cycle. Oh, and compiling Audacity to w...

You need to be very careful about your edit points and a short sample is pretty painful to use. Select a portion in the middle of the beep that, as near as you can tell, doesn't change beginning to end. Mark the beginning and end points with labels paying attention to the exact point the wave repeat...

You missed the part where you tell us what you're trying to do. Record a microphone of you singing?

Movie DVDs have to supply normal stereo for players that don't have surround. They can do that by including a PCM stereo track in addition to the AC3 surround, or they can do that with layers. Each takes a different decoder. Some Dolby decoders provide a stereo mixdown. If you have a talented enough...

Let's say no. There is no "do this and that happens" for multi-channel recording under Audacity. There are several guesses and suggestions and at least one person who got multi-channel to work using obsolete software. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=34807&start=0...

Fascinating. I'm typing on one of the iMacs and the cursor delay is much more pronounced up here, but still nothing like the YouTube video. I haven't serviced this machine in a million years, so I bet I can make it go a little quicker. I wonder if the graphics processor in the iMac is Really Differe...

<<<So you're saying that you don't see any delay between moving the editing cursor and the selection following the cursor as shown in the OP's video?>>> I do. The display is one or two refreshes behind the cursor. An action that can be described as "snappy." Nothing remotely as sloppy as t...

Timed Recording can be very difficult because of the way it works. Not only does the timer have to kick at the right, time, but the computer running it has to be in perfect working order and not stuck doing anything else. Then all the tasks required have to start at the right time and execute with n...

<<<I'm wondering if somebody can help me derive a "common language" between % of normalization and dB numbers.>>> Everybody likes working in percent, but you run out of range very rapidly because your ear doesn't work in percent. It works in dB. Maximum volume, 100% or "1" is 0dB...
