44100, 16-bit, Stereo is the format of the sound on a Music CD. It's an uncompressed, non-damaged format. It's handy to save your work like that (on multiple hard drives) as archive and safety backup. From those files,you can go downhill and create MP3 or AAC or other portable formats, but you can't...

We can start with Audacity 1.2 is not supported on modern Macs. Get Audacity 1.3.12 from here... http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac You can safely install both, but only use one at a time. Audacity 1.3 projects will not open in 1.2. SoundFlower is a little wacky because you have to assign the...

I only use the Chris that installs as a plug-in to Audacity. I don't know of anyone that's had problems when they did that. Somehow, Chris produced damaged files. Either the burner doesn't understand them, or the INFO inside the file and the actual music are different. Either way, they're toast. Koz

The external thing is handy because it carries no baggage from the old install at all, and doesn't disturb anything you already did. There are hunt and peck ways around this. It takes longer. Have you ever run the "Periodic" tools on your Mac? If you have a very active machine, that will s...

"Exotic Users" cause oddball problems ;-) . I bet there isn't another person on earth that has the same configuration you do. Do you have an external FireWire Hard Drive you're not using right at the present? Physically mount it, boot the machine to the OS-X install CDs and put OS-X on the...

That's very significant screen draw delay, and yes, that would drive me nuts, too.

No, it's not a "bug" until 500 of your closest friends complain about the same thing. You just have a messy machine. I need to drop out and do Saturday things for an hour or so...

I think your Chatty Cathys are performers in your show, and you can't take a show apart into individual performers. As you're finding out, there is no key to use to identify the talkers. Vocal removal works by "knowing" that the lead singer is usually located half way between your right an...
