It may be for naught. The latest generation of recovery tools do a really good job of reconstructing the shards and fragments of your crashed capture into a single show. It used to be you could do a better job using exotic, manual tools, but not any more. When Audacity crashes, the machine becomes t...

Contrary to the labels, Stable 1.2.5 on Mac/Leopard/Intel isn't stable. There are known issues with this combination. Mac/Tiger/Intel works fine and I use that combination, but probably shouldn't. Upgrade to 1.3.7. You can have both 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine as long as you only launch and use one ...

<<<When you click inside the blue waveforms, does the cursor "stick" and does Audacity start playing from that point when you press the spacebar?>>> Does. That. Work? Reinstalling a damaged Audacity 1.2 on a Windows machine may not do you any good at all. This is the worst Audacity version...

Our headset microphones are Sennheiser C 555 L with the hip pack battery. They're hypercardoid so you do have to get the pickup capsule just right. We use the foam covering. I bought a box of sealed alcohol wipers and I swab it down at the end of each show. Many different people use this microphone....
