Audacity Forum

Audacity on first birthday used to wake up in mono, but I think the 1.3 versions are in Stereo. Check in Audacity Preferences. Can we assume you're on a Windows Laptop? The great majority of Windows Laptops have a Mic-In on the side of the computer which is looking for a tiny, delicate, weak, mono m...

<<<How do I check the manufacturer of my motherboard so I know where to look for better drivers?>>> You can usually Google the maker of the computer. Many computers now use "Fast Boot" option which bypasses all the hardware setup and memory tests when you turn the computer on. That's a sha...

<<<Great minds think alike? That's scary, isn't it? Actually this is in the grand tradition of the forum. "I can help the poster before you can!" "No! Me!" We had one poster walking around with a neck brace because he wasn't used to the sudden acceleration compared to the other f...

<<<Strange. I don't remember installing it.>>> That's a valuable part of the question. I wasn't accusing you of molesting your machine. If you didn't install it, it may have arrived as part of another package. Are you the only human that has access to your machine? We have a "public" machi...

Yes, but in a text document, if you keep pressing Paste, you get the text repeating multiple times, one right after the other. In Audacity, it just pastes one on top of the other. So you can't Copy, Paste, Paste, Paste. You have to manage those sticky labels, and I haven't found how to inject a labe...

I started my Intel Mini into Snow Leopard and pulled down the latest 1.3.11. It's so new (how new is it?) It's so new it's dated tomorrow. I destroyed the Preferences file and the install asked me "English?" when I started. No plugins. I left the default 44100, 32-floating, Stereo setup an...

I begin to see the problem. MacVide Audio Connector is a software download that's supposed to let you establish audio pathways and compression services normal machines do not have. Sometimes it doesn't work so good. http://www.macvide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26 Did you put this software on your ma...

Did you restart Audacity at each change? Sometimes system settings don't stick until you do that.

Maybe it's not a record problem. Can you play music in audacity you didn't try to capture?

Can you play that...

<<<why doesnt it recognise ffmpeg?>>>

Maybe it does. Load a short sound clip and try to export it as AAC (ffmpeg). If the export fails, you have no ffmpeg. If it succeeds, then you got something else wrong.
