Audacity Forum

If you need to worry about Interrupt Requests, you got a lot more problems than just crackling. If the unit is using ASIO drivers, then anything you do will be unstable if it works at all. It's possible to compile Audacity with internal ASIO support, but you have to do it. It can't come from the &qu...

Instead of a million sound clips, create a folder called "Sound" and put all the clips inside that. PowerPoint should allow you to "point" to a folder inside its structure.

<<<It just always worked until yesterday. >>> It's also correct. Another post assures us that Olympus uses IMA compressed files and Audacity does know what those are.

Fill in the holes. How are the machines connected? USB? Model numbers? Who made the turntable. Which Mac?

Does it record direct to MP3 file? Like when you press stop, there's the file? I have an older software package on a machine that can do that with WAV files, but I've never seen one do it with MP3. It must be pretty stressful on the machine because it has to not only capture the data in real time, b...
