How sure are you that you're using Audacity Sound Editor? Help > About. You may have gotten bamboozled into buying AVS Editor or one of the other cost based programs. There is one Audacity supplier that fools you into downloading AVS instead if you're not paying strict attention. Audacity is free. T...

You can also get that error if you use an unfortunate filename. No punctuation marks or dates. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscore and dash. That's it. No other marks may be used if you want an unconditionally stable filename. I have to push files between all three computing platforms ...

<<<Although I didn't notice much of a change,>>> Then there's something wrong. After Chris gets done, the overall show is much louder and the variations between loudest and softest passages have been reduced without seeming to affect the overall quality of the show. Not too shabby, that. I did notic...

<<<I assume you mean for me to wait until a version of Audacity above 1.3.10 comes out>>> No. I want you to go to the Nightly Build page, download the latest one, install it, and try that. There is no downside to doing that. Both versions will coexist on your machine. If that doesn't fit on your mac...

Convert the clip to WAV format using either Super or Switch (download) and try it again. This kind of thing rarely happens when the artist performs all the parts of the song. It ...

The bad news is that Intel Macs under Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6) don't support Audacity 1.2. It's only a matter of time before the system Does Something Funny and that's pretty much the end of the script. The good news is you can have Audacity 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine as long as you on...
