Audacity Forum

I edited your post for a family audience. That's not clipping damage. It's equally damaged and in the same places no matter how I play it, so the clip came down like that. It sounds like whoever produced the clip didn't do a very good job. There's no way to get rid of it. The bad computer is a perfo...

Probably not. MIDI signals aren't sound. They're digital instructions. "Play C# really hard for twelve seconds!" You can probably connect the keyboard headphone socket to your deskside PC Line-In connection (usually blue) or the Line-In of any Mac. That's the way I do it. PC Laptops tend t...

Just to nail down the symptoms a little, it doesn't sound very good when you play Audacity, either, right? The export symptom is a red herring. <<<the other end to the headphone jack of the laptop (note: there is also a microphone jack on my laptop but your instructions say not to use it, so I didn'...

There are some serious issues with crossed platforms. Mac/Leopard/Intel will not run Audacity 1.2 properly. Audacity 1.3 is the only option. Mac/Intel/Tiger will run Audacity 1.2.5, but not 1.2.6. Leopard was designed for the Intel Mac platform. It has legacy support for PowerPC. Tiger was designed ...

You can get errors like that if you used bad filenames. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash and underscore. Those are the only characters allowed in a filename. People get killed all the time when they try to put dates in a filename. The slash mark is deadly. 20090907 That's one way to write...
