Re: Do plug-ins like these exist?

You can simulate that. Apply Edit > Select > All and then Effect > Amplify with the default values. That will make the capture really tall so you an see what you're doing. Zoom in to each abrupt transition (select the area and Control-E) and set a label. Control-B I think. Zoom back out full Control...

Re: problem labeling tracks

<<<Other than this new problem, Audacity works perfectly.>>> It shouldn't. Audacity 1.2 is not supported on Intel Macs under Leopard or Snow Leopard. Poke around under Apple > About This Mac to see if it says Intel anywhere. OS-X 10.5 is Leopard. Audacity 1.3 Nightly Build -- Mac http://www.audacity...

Re: DVD-Audio

Or maybe not. If your capture masters are sub-standard, then you get killed when a New Technology comes out. Fraunhofer designed MP3 in 1989. You can get twice the compression at the same or better quality with M4A or Apple AAC format -- but only if you don't have substandard masters. What kind of c...

Re: Changed PC want to import all music

It's probably more serious than that. If your computer ran out of space in two hours, you have very much not enough room on your computer. See how much stuff you can push off to an eternal hard drive or thumb drive. Audacity captures take up roughly 700 MB per hour. Your computer needs to have room ...

Re: Changed PC want to import all music

We normally tell people you can't move an Audacity Project. They're insanely brittle and can be complicated depending on the content of the show. More than one poster has drilled his/her show into the mud by "just moving it to a new computer." If you have a show where you imported music fr...

Re: Burning to CD

CD-R. Accept no substitutes. Buy a short stack of Sonys at any Office Store until you get the process down. That will eliminate the ratty blank problem. You can experiment with cheap blanks later.

Re: no sound

Did you get the bouncing red recording meters while you were recording the show and did you get two lines of blue waves? Anything like this (Your pictures may not exactly match)? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record.jpg That means you captured a show and now we just need to figure out whe...
