Audacity Forum

<<<Thanks for your suggestions. I zoomed in and did not see any breaks. >>> If you're getting clearly audible disturbances in the show, then there should be something wrong with the blue waves. Anyway. You can put both Audacity 1.3 and 1.2 on your machine as long as you only use one at a time. Audac...

This isn't an Audacity problem. Audacity is a slave to your Windows machine and that's where the problem is. You need to go into your Windows Control Panels and stop recording Mix-Out, What-U-Hear, or whatever your computer calls it. That's the setting that's giving you multiple recording pathways a...

You can get rid of that disturbance at the end without changing the length of the show by selecting it and Control-L Silence. It will flatten out to match the surrounding baseline -- assuming the baseline is at zero. If you have DC on your show, that will produce a pop. Audacity default bit depth is...

<<<they should be advised that exporting to a lossless format (AIFF or WAV) will effectively preserve their work too.>>> I know it doesn't seem like it, but the elves on the forum have been trying to get the developers to improve things like that forever. My favorite change would be in the Save Proj...

You may notice a substantial slowness when you're managing WAV files because uncompressed, high quality sound files are BIG. If you started out life with an eight to one compressed MP3 at 1MB size and you're happy with that, you will be shocked at the 8MB sound file you suddenly get when you convert...

<<<I want to record and save a clip (only about 10 seconds) from that wav file.>>> Or better, load the clip into audacity File > Open > myMusic.wav. I guess in Windows it would be myMusic with no extension. Select and delete the area before your clip. Select and delete the area after your clip. Expo...

<<<It didn't work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?>>> I'm reading this again and again. That should have worked. That's the same process as recording yourself with musical accompaniment playback from the same computer. Overdubbing, etc. You might end up with control problems. ...

If you have one computer that likes to change levels by itself, it could be that machine is set for "auto" something. This is very popular in the newer Windows machines used for Skype, Conferencing, and other communications services. Open your Windows Control Panels and look for the tools ...

I removed the link. It was a little too much like a commercial. Since it's already a MP3 file, click on it and when it starts to play, File > Save As, or right click on the file > Save As. On a Mac, you can Control-Click > Save As. After that, you can open in Audacity and edit your brains out. We're...

If you zoom way into a pop... Drag-Select > Control-E > Drag-Select...etc. ...what does it look like? Is there an actual hole in the blue waves? Is there a half-wave chopped off at the transition point? Are you trying to edit audio with DC mixed in? Before you start any editing, apply Effect > Norma...
