If you live in an apartment complex with every other apartment hosting a WiFi connection, then you can have significant troubles maintaining a good connection. There are only seven WiFi channels and you can't use two...

<<<And their noisy disposition preceeds them>>> If they're happy and cool, they're dead quiet. Even if you do extreme processing and leave them cranking, they might pick up their fan speed a bit. It's only when you mess with them that they get noisy. If you do anything to disturb the watchdog proces...

The grownups have trouble doing that. It's just about impossible for anyone else.

I had the occasion to use Clip Fix the way it was intended [gasp] -- on an otherwise properly recorded show with gentle clipping three or four times down a three minute performance. It did some pretty impressive repairs, but on a whim I applied it again and got half-again better correction. And then...

Audacity 1.2, although officially "Stable," is hopelessly out of date. Audacity 1.3 has all the cool tools and talents. Even though 1.3 is officially "Beta Unstable," it is the basis if the soon to be released 2.0 stable.
