While your show is on the timeline, set a label at the beginning of each song. In Windows, Control-B. Then File > Export Multiple. That will give you a pile of individual files. It's possible that 1.2 will only let you export WAV files that way. Audacity 1.3 will let you export MP3s.

Some of the better sound cards have that 20dB boost feature and it's frequently the difference between getting a microphone to work and not. Of course, if it's running at the wrong time...

Yes, I see that. Thank you. I also see you're running Leopard on a G4. Why did you upgrade? Power PC support in Leopard is very second drawer and it's missing completely in Snow Leopard. We have a couple of other people with crossed operating systems and they, too, have weird problems. Tiger was the...

I didn't quite follow that, but in any event, you can't record two things at the same time without adding a mixer. You didn't mention a microphone.

The Audacity process is to get the whole thing on one timeline and set a label (Control-B) at the beginning of each song. Then Export Multiple and Audacity will produce a pile of individual WAV files for burning.

<<<it was an EV-635 feeding a sony cassette machine>>> Electro-Voice 635a, yes. I still have a 635a, I don't remember where I got it from, but the tape machine's long gone. I do have an original adapter cable, probably built in the early 70s. It was in use in one of two college ration stations. WMUC...

Audacity has an unfortunate default setting in Preferences. The sound bit depth sets itself to 32-floating which can cause problems. Reset to 16-bit, restart Audacity and see if the new files you make work any better.

Has it ever worked? Does it work with Windows Sound Recorder? Windows Sound Recorder Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment What happens if you plug into the Mic-In and select that in all the appropriate panels? Does this sound card have a 20dB Boost Option and is it turned on? Koz
