Re: Not getting all tracks to play on CD

I need to go back and read all that again. Do you read Sue Grafton mysteries? "T is for Trespass" "U is for Undertow." One wag asked her what she's going to do with her popular series when she gets to "Z?" She said she has five more novels to figure it out. The private ...

Re: MP3's & WAV's massively clipped in Audacity

Oh, this is good. I have a problem over on the Mac side like this one. It can't be happening, but it is.

Re: Not getting all tracks to play on CD

It's just getting good. Which iTunes have you got? What are the exact filenames of two bad songs? Outside of iTunes, Control-Click one one of the bad songs > Open With. Is iTunes in the short list of possibilities? Do all the bad songs have a common icon -- they all have the Audacity icon instead of...

Re: can't open my audacity project file

<<<Instead try to taught ppl into saving the project to a lossless format as first step before doing anything else...>>> Export as WAV early and often. Then make a protection copy. There should never be a reason for a reshoot. They're expensive and you don't get called back for the next job. Koz

Re: Recording my classes?

To get you down to part numbers: The mixer is a Peavey PV6... http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PV6/ It will mix four different microphones into a show. Most of our training sessions use two.

Re: Extract Vocals via Inverting Instrumental track, any got

The global idea is you can't separate instruments or singers into individual parts independent of the rest of the song. Almost under all circumstances. In the case of having the instrumental and fully mixed versions of the same song and then extracting the pure vocal depends on so many things being ...

Re: How to make sound muffled?

This sounds like one of our television commercial clients. "You have to pull off a complex special effect and you have two seconds, Have a good time."

Any way to get maybe five or six seconds of base sound?

Re: Recording my classes?

That restricts the choices a little. Most Windows laptops only accept a tiny, delicate, wispy, mono microphone signal plugged into the side of the machine. They do pretty well with those. The forum is full of people trying to plug stereo mixers, cassette machines, and home music systems into their W...

Re: S.O.S. Opens once Doesnt open teh next time!?

Back up one step. You posted in the Audacity 1.3 section of the help forum. Do you actually have Audacity 1.3?

Audacity > About Audacity.

You have some of the failures of the wrong Audacity.
