Most people should not be using Projects at all. Audacity will not Save a sound file and that's what a very large number of people think they're getting. File > Export as WAV to get a real sound file. As for missing au files. did you try to move your project, delete any files, rename anything or cha...

My personal preference is to go with the noise removal first. There are some very good controls (in Audacity 1.3) that allow a delicate touch so you can remove the trash and not much else. Once you use the notch filters, those sounds are gone forever, performance or not, and there's no guarantee you...

I'm not sure. I don't have vista and most of the sound capture work is on a Mac. We'll need to wait for one of the Windows helpers to drop by.

Yes, the noise is likely the USB bitstream becoming corrupted during the transmission. Do write back and tell us what you found. With machines that old, are you sure you don't have a USB mismatch? One of my Win2K machines only supports USB 1.1 and doing transfers with that one is really painful and ...

<<<this is a music file not a live performance...>>> What's wrong with it? And don't tell me "It's noisy." I got it that far. What kind of noise? What is it about the performance you're trying to fix? We also note that the more highly compressed the performance, the less successful the red...

Some notes. The noise reduction in Audacity 1.2 sucks, almost always. So in Audacity 1.3... You don't let it get a profile, you have to force it. Find a portion of the show with noise only and no performance. Get the profile from that noisy section. Then select the whole show (or a small portion if ...

It depends on the version of Windows, but yes.
