Audacity Forum

Did you recently get Skype? How do you record iTunes? Do you use Sound Flower? Let's clear the decks. Close everything back to the desktop. Unplug the input cable. Restart the Mac. When it chongs at you take a paper towel, a little glass cleaner, alcohol, or vodka and clean the plug. Dry the plug wi...

If you don't get any more good information here, I'm going to point you to the "Adding Features" portion of the forum.

The problem, as you're finding out, is to measure the BPM. We recommend a cup of coffee, calculator, and stopwatch. Any song that has phrase wait states in it like some Trance/Dance music will reduce BPM software to trash as will any song like country and western tunes that decide to double-time in ...

Oh, it's no waste. You know when you stop recording and start up again, Audacity starts a new timeline? In Audacity 1.3.12, you can use Append Record (Shift-R) to put everything on one line. Yet another reason to stop using Audacity 1.2. You can get rid of the blank timelines with the little "X...

There is the overwhelming possibility you're in the wrong Audacity. Modern Macs do not support Audacity 1.2. get 1.3.12 from here. You don't have to take 1.2 out, just stop using it. http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac The Center Pan Removal in Audacity produces a mono show. That's just how it...

I think our objection to The Way Things Are is the impossibility of finding stuff and the assumption that it's the user's fault. Go back up this exact thread right now and count the number of different places y'all referenced -- without even working at it -- where handy tools and plugins are availab...

<<<No thin blue lines.>>> No, that's not exactly what I said. Notice that there is a very thin horizontal black line at 0.0 before the blue waves start (working left to right). Do you have that? It's possible to have natural sounding audio and not have it appear as blue waves if you have Audacity se...

And Steve wrote a good noise gate. http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=1272 Sounds lower than a certain volume are suppressed. All worth a shot, but don't bet the farm on good results. All these tools depend on very specific noises in the show or very specific conditions. Programmers ...

<<<audio from our soundboard to the mic input on the laptop.>>> You fundamentally can't do that. You're probably listening to the laptop trying to resolve the overload. The two audio systems are completely different. You may be able to plug your sound mixer into a Stereo Line-In instead of the Mono ...

If that's true, the voice can be gotten from the right channel with a little volume boost from Effect > Amplify. Then use the Center Channel Removal to take the voice out of the total performance. All simple internal tools. If you have a newer Mac, you should be using Audacity 1.3.12. Leopard and Sn...
