Re: Fixing a niece's birthday song!

It's called looping. The voice actor watches a short segment of the performance over and over again and says the lines. They record everything and push into the movie the sound take that worked the best. The voice actor is singing to a film "loop." I'm with them on the man's voice. If ther...

Re: Re-Timing AC3 audio

Almost certainly not in Audacity 1.2. Audacity 1.3, I believe will directly open AC3 files .. but... In the same sense that an Audacity Project isn't sound, AC3 is a sound manager. If you decode it, you may (almost certainly) find yourself staring at six sound channels plus the loudness contour prof...

If you jack your headphones into the mixer, it sounds perfect there, right? Does your interconnection cable look pretty much like this... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027NGAUC/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0002KR5Q0&pf_rd_...

Re: inserting track markers for a continuous DJ mix

I can't imagine anyone sitting through "Turandot" when the theater ambiance vanished to inky blackness for two seconds after every act. Talk about removing the listener from the theatrical experience.

Why are there holes in my opera?

Make it stop.

Re: Album to itunes

That may be multiple questions depending on where you got stuck. You started on a Mac in iTunes and got all the titles to line up and now you want to push the whole thing over to a PC? Windows Media? See how far you get on with this... http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Transferring_tapes_...

Re: Can Audacity edit background noise?

You can shoot separate sound. Some video editors will let you slide a different sound track under the pictures. Any Audacity will let you produce a 48000, 16-bit, Stereo show which will slide into any video show.

Pick the track that didn't overload.

Re: Data au files not connected

<<<If I open the the original program file and import audio they come onto separate tracks. >>> Audacity automatically mixes down to Stereo when you Export a sound file, no matter how many tracks it had. WAV files are big but do not damage the original show. MP3 is smaller, but damages the show. Koz

Re: Data au files not connected

Excellent! All of the common problems at once. I have to bookmark this thread. Intel Macs under either Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6) (Apple > About This Mac) do not support Audacity 1.2. So let's start there. I'm using Audacity 1.3.7 until the smoke clears from here... Audacity 1.3.7 -- Mac ...
