Re: Input Level Meter Good, Waveform Bad?

Wait. I'm just reading this again. The complaint is that the actual show/project is low, not just the output file? So your show doesn't look anything like this, right? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg Note where the green bars are. So the job is one of two. Fix the existing Proj...

Re: just getting started

Because of the technology used in Music CDs (old) you can get 80 minutes of music on a disk. It's actually 79 minutes, 30 seconds or something like that, but it's a fixed amount. Non negotiable.

<<<resulting mp3 is low.>>> How do you know that? If you create a known, good, working MP3 file, restart Audacity and open up that file. Do you get the same readings, levels, and meters as when it was made? There is one other trick, Some MP3 players and services hate MP3 files made from 32-bit float...

Re: Recording with Digitech VX-400

If nobody posts back in a timely manner, then nobody's had any experience with your equipment. Although Audacity will manage 16 audio tracks, getting multi tracks into and out of Audacity is not simple. There is no standard answer to the hardware question about how to do that.

Re: 1.3.8 fails to start. Asking for Native Instruments Fold

That was my problem, but I solved it a different way (and my Audacity never crashed). WireTap Studio had installed something called "Camel Audio" without telling me. I removed Camel Audio extensions and tools and Audacity immediately became snappy and responsive. But yes, automatically loa...

<<<they dont sound as good as when they first went in>>>

Re: deleted files

You need to give us a little push. Noisy? Louder or quieter? Crunchy or harsh? You're allowed to say "they sound weird and like they're coming from behind me." Can you post a little bit of one somewhere? Can you play this OK... http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhaset4.wav The last segment i...
