Re: No 'Export as MP3' button in Audacity 1.3.12-beta (Unico

At the risk of performing my broken record act*, the only unconditionally safe characters in file names are upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash, and underscore. All other characters are either forbidden outright or carry additional meanings and significance further than what you think they d...

Re: HOW TO NOT RECORD COMPUTER OUTPUT?

I may be able to help upside down. These are the instructions to make your computer record internet audio. Follow them backwards.

Re: export wav files

I've never had a burner program reject 48000, and I'm still leery of 32-bit floating format, but I have an old burning program that will reject mono sound files.

Re: Accurate Db readings for analyzing input

Pull the frequency display as wide and tall as you can and PrintScreen. The display gives you more and more information in the window as you do that. Audacity 1.3.12 has new grid overlays that help a lot with reading the wavy lines.

Re: Only one audible track with several waveforms in project

Which Audacity exactly do you have? Which Windows? You get the bouncing light sound meter when you play track one, right? If you mute track one and play any or all of the others, do you get the sound meter? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg While you were overdubbing, the show pl...

Re: trouble eliminating high pitched note . . .

I don't hear anything but the music. Maybe you can't filter it out because it isn't in the song.

Pull down Organ Finale and Piano2 and play those. Still have the whistle?

Re: Amplify settings (2) are always locked together

And anybody who's been in broadcasting longer than twelve minutes will be familiar with the television commercial loudness war. Somehow, commercials appear twice as loud as the show while triggering neither meters nor alarms.

People get paid a lot of money to figure out how to do that.

Re: Amplify settings (2) are always locked together

It's 20 log. Half and double are 6dB which is just significant to your ears. Also remembering that the limit of human hearing is something south of -60dB which is half ten times, and some people's ears are still working down there. Roughly half loudless is -20dB which is 1/10 of the signal. It's ser...
