Re: Frequency correlation to SPL reading

Note the two "curves" on your instrument, A and C. Hazard laws and your ears work in curve A -- sensitive to some frequencies over others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting "C" is more or less flat. We need to know whether you are dealing with law enforcement or not. Curve...

Re: Is Audacity the best program for my application?

<<<Of course, in order to chop the show up into small fragments you must first have enough space to open and decompress the entire file at once, correct?>>> No, that's a little more Audacity Magic. Unless you changed it in Preferences, Audacity does not pull sound inside itself for editing. It point...

Re: any ideas please? unmixing a track...

It's not "push this button and everything is fine." There will be one and only one critical volume of track one dialog which will cancel the dialog leakage from track two. If somebody forced me to do this, I would probably split the tracks and use the envelope tool (two white arrows and be...

Re: Can't record sound in Windows 7 (and Vista too on laptop

Now you're getting seriously into the intenral settings of Windows. We'll need to wait for the Windows elves to show up. There's a write-up on how to do what you want. See if there's anything in there that's helpful. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer Mix-Out i...

Re: guitar tracks are faster than i play them

Are you on an Intel Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard (10.5 or 10.6)?
Apple > About This Mac

Audacity 1.2 doesn't work so well for us. Download and install Audacity 1.3.11 and use that. You don't have to remove Audacity 1.2.
