You can post back with Mac questions like that. I run both types of computer and I can not damage myself or others in Linux.

I suppose the first thing we should address is that if you're Mac/Intel/Leopard (a new Mac) you have the wrong Audacity. The upgrade from Tiger to Leopard (10.4 to 10.5) pretty much killed off Audacity 1.2.5 for us. If you are running Audacity 1.2.6, I wouldn't expect anything to work right, that's ...

The theory is pretty simple. Convert L and R to L+R and L-R and then back. What you do with the L-R signal in the middle -- plus or minus amplification -- affects separation. If you reduce L-R to zero, the show turns to mono. There are one or two steps you need to do in the middle to insure against ...

We can't stress that enough. The original folder and file names are burned into the AUP file. Here's a simple AUP file as a graphic. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/aup1.jpg Note about a third down and about half-way over, there is a line like this... aliasfile='/Users/koz/Desktop/piano2.wav" Au...

Many people find it convenient to mix in an actual mixer rather than trying it do it all in one computer. This also gives you reliable headphone monitor points, headphone volume, multiple sends, etc. The next step in production is to need more than one microphone, and that will take you into a sound...

Mac OS-X is based on a super-stable UNIX operating system, not the older Mac-OS home-built service. This caused a number of really good things to happen. All ...

You can also get that when you're running out of drive space. How large are the drives and how full are they?

This isn't mentioned in the wiki page. Do you ever error check and defragment the drive? Audio and video production programs put a serious stress on system resources and speed.

Without getting into voltage levels and audio standards, a big different between Mic-In and Line-In is that one's stereo and one isn't. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/audioconnectors.html You neatly sidestepped this problem by having a mono show to begin with. <<<goes into the only input ...
