The newer Intel/Leopard Macs do not support Audacity 1.2. I personally like Audacity 1.3.7 from here... Audacity 1.3.7 -- Mac http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/audacity-macosx-ub-1.3.7.zip ...or you can go with the latest download... Audacity Current Release -- Mac http://audacityteam.org/downloa...

Record-Pause instead of Stop. Try this once to make sure you know the button sequences. -- or -- Install Audacity 1.3. 1.3 has provision for Add-On Recording. Transport > Append Record, or Shift-R. You can have both Audacity versions on your computer as long as you only use one at a time. Audacity 1...

I whipped over Noise Reduction quickly. Do you have the 30,000 foot view of what it does?

You posted in the 1.3 forum, so I hope you're actually using 1.3. Hum we can do. I think I would clean everything up and noise reduce before you started cutting. The noise reduction in 1.3 is the useful tool compared to 1.2. The better the "profile" you capture at the beginning of the tool...

OK, maybe we didn't answer it before. Here's a posting about how to turn it off in Skype...
