Audacity Forum

I don't need to listen to it. The sound standards of the clips you're using are different from each other. Audacity is a terrible converter. Actually, it doesn't convert at all -- particularly 1.2. If you try to combine music clips with different bit depths and sample rates, the chance for success i...

Ummmmmm. Oh. There it is. Audacity 1.2.6. Audacity 1.2 allows you to tune the MP3 compression in the Preferences. Audacity 1.3 allows you to directly tune it in the Export step which is faster. If you started out life at MP3 256, try dropping to 128 or whatever the next lower number is. 192?? Be sur...

Where are we in time? You captured the performance and you're playing it back now, or it's doing funny things while you capture? Is this before or after you Saved Project? I can't tell from the question.

I'm a lot less interested in the software drivers than I am in how it went the last time you defragmented and error checked your hard drive. How big is it and how full is it? Is it the only hard drive on the system and how are the others connected?

Calm down. The elves that run the forum live all 'round the world. It could take up to 12 hours for someone to get back to you. You will be installing Tiger, not Panther. There is no Panther combination that will work for you. I don't see where you told us what kind of machine you have. I have Tiger...
