You'll post back when you find out more? MP3 compression affects the quality of the varnish and wood preparation. My joke is MP3 can turn two cheap violins and one Strad into three cheap violins. It attacks rich overtones and the complexity of the performance. Precisely what you pay for when you blo...

Drag-Select some of the work > File > Export Selected. Audacity doesn't Save sound files. I usually do this backwards. I Export the whole thing as a safety. Then carefully Drag-delete the bits I don't want. Then straight Export. I use the Zoom tools to make sure I got everything selected accurately....

Eventually. I don't think this tool exists in the earlier versions of Audacity.

Beyond that, the tools for actually editing, filtering, and producing your show are vastly better in the current release -- Audacity 1.3.12. We had a spirited discussion about whether Audacity 1.2 should con...

I get it now. That's the step I don't do. I've never synched either of my iPods. The older one isn't big enough and the newer one just doesn't get used for music listening. When I did transfer music, I dragged it from playlists to the iPod mount in iTunes. That does work for you, right? It's the aut...

I'm just now waking up. Are you complaining about popping your plosives, like "P" and "B?" People usually complain about that in terms like scaring the cat and souring milk, not "very low sounds." Those are very different and the Noise Gate will not remove them. Are the...

It's AAC. Advanced Audio Coding. Who made the AACs? I pull my music into iTunes as Audacity WAV files and then make iTunes create the Apple AAC versions if needed.

WAV files are huge. Did you fill up your Nano?

Noise Removal isn't for that. Noise Removal is to get rid of a single, constant, irritating sound through the whole show, like air conditioning, refrigerator, or fan noise. It won't deal with noises that change during the show like a metrobus starting up or a truck going by -- or odd speech problems...
