Re: Medium Wave radio recordings

<<<I did not mean do medium wave stations broadcast on medum wve in CD quality>>> My point was that medium wave was not CD quality specifically because the transmission doesn't support it. It's not that the sparkling quality was somehow suppressed or attenuated. It's simply not there. There's nothin...

Re: audio dj 2

It works perfectly, but the step that usually kills producers is you can't do it with a Windows Laptop. Most Windows laptops have a mono, very low level, delicate microphone connection. It overloads very easily and will not do stereo. Macs will do this and most Windows deskside machines will, or you...

Re: MP3 Advantage

The rule with MP3 compression is you should only do it once, and that's a problem with Audacity. Audacity will not edit an MP3 file. It will open it, convert it to an internal sound format (hidden from you) and then Export a New MP3 when you're done processing, filtering, cutting, etc. This results ...

Re: Trimming sound files (several questions)

There's no shortage of people who want to set Audacity cranking away at some task while they fly off to the Côte d'Azur. Audacity doesn't do much from the command line -- I think it doesn't do anything. The closest thing to a batch command is "Chains" available in Audacity 1.3.12. http://a...

Re: How to setup Audacity for Skype recording

Pamela and Skype need to be the only two things running. Close everything else.

Only the top two Pamela versions are going to do what you want -- Business and Professional. Pamela Call Recorder and Basic have been intentionally crippled.
