DTS music is a highly complex surround sound encoding scheme. I don't think there is any simple way to take the show sound apart short of recording the speaker signals two at a time with adapter cables. If you're trying to manage a two hour movie, that will take you over six hours.

You saved an Audacity Project, not a sound file. To force Audacity to make a sound file of your show, File > Export As WAV. If you didn't move things around too much, you should be able to open up the your original project. Launch Audacity. File > Open > MyGuitarSolo2.aup. The aup file will gather a...

Quakes are fun. They fill the hole between the bottom of human hearing and battery voltage. The 1994 Northridge event raised the top of Mt. Wilson (TV Towers for LA) by some value I can't find right this second...and left them there. The noise where I live (south of Northridge and west of Wilson) co...

You stepped in a squishy spot there. Several of us consider the implementation of those two tools to be slightly askew. However, first let me distance those two tools from loudness and volume. They don't do that -- or if they do, it's a byproduct of another process. For volume setting, you will be m...

It sounds like you could be violating file naming conventions (assuming your hard drive really isn't filling up).

Upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash and underscore. That's it. Any other character in a filename will cause computer instability.

You can take this in steps. Some Windows and some computers allow you to change the sound panels to allow internet recording. Sometimes it takes hardware. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer After you capture each song, you can do editing and producti...

There is a Snap To setting on the bottom of the work window. Turn it off.

Let's change things around a little. Forget the au files. you're not supposed to even know about those. Those are part of a managed project and almost never contain more than a couple of seconds of sound. They're not even formal sound files. Once you get a sound performance on the time line that mak...

<<<the problem with the hiss from a cassette tape was because the cassette tape was very old over, 30 years old>>> The original complaint was they sounded OK during capture but not during playback later. Tape hiss doesn't usually do that. If it does get a lot worse, then there's something wrong with...
