Line level audio is the stuff that falls out of your iPod, or other music player and it's the sound level that comes out of a cassette player or stand-alone music CD player. It's the red and white sound cables in the back of your sound system. It's pretty loud. In very fuzzy terms, it's about the sa...

"Re-Mastering" is an advertising phrase designed to make you buy the same music the second time or lead you to believe there is quality where quality didn't used to be. And yes the phrase is normally followed by the phrase "from the original studio tapes." I have a Music CD that ...

The mixer is high-level only. It has a noise spec somewhere in the -80/-90 dB, which is nice for high level, but gives you a composite performance noise floor of-20 dB if you start with a microphone.

So it may not matter if you have Audacity 1.2.5 or 1.2.6, you have the wrong Audacity. Those combinations won't even open on my Intel M...

Here. Try this.

"With the compressor and all E Q dead flat."

Just send that WAV file segment with about a half-second of silence after it. Pretend that was your whole show. That should be good enough for inspections and it might fit.

Where are you?

That's not compression artifacts. You found a really cool new way to break your show. What does our contestant win, Johnny Olson? I'm in LA and Steve is in England, so we may drop in and out at odd times. Audacity Preferences > Quality > 44100, 32-bit floating, Stereo. Or maybe 44100, 16-bit, Stereo...
