Re: Audacity crashes when importing a video file

Gasp. I need to lie down for a minute.....

Of course, that's assuming the original QuickTime was made with a codec that ffmpeg understands.....

Can you put the track back the same way?

Re: Wave Files 16bit PCM or 32bit Float

32-bit floating reduces digitizing errors to almost zero is is really good for massive production and special effects and sound management. However, it's usefulness declines outside of Audacity. Not everybody supports 32-bit in the Outside World. I have rescued a project where a voice actor supplied...

Re: 1.3X always crashes

Audacity 1.3 never gets as far as launching the first time? I install by making an audacity1.3.8 (or whatever the version is) folder and put all the program pieces and folders in it.

Re: 1.3X always crashes

Normally we discourage posting a million pages of crash analysis unless we ask for it, but that was actually instructive. I see BandStand Synthesizer, Audacity, something called UnSanity Ape_Agent, probably a timer agent called Semaphore, AmpegXVSUNO, DVCPro HDDemuxer, AVS Services, AVC Controller. ...

Re: Recording a Call from Pamela to Audacity

The green one is probably Line-Out. Take a powerful flashlight back there with you. Tiny fan icon with an arrow pointing out?

Did you make the protection copy of the show on your digital recorder?

We're getting into seriously deep water here.

Re: One channel is saturated

When I open up my Windows Volume Control panel, each up and down fader also has a balance control on top -- left/right. Make sure all of the balance controls on both panels are centered.
