<<<Don't know where you read that>>> I missed that. I record stuff in AIFF files at 44100, 16-bit, Stereo and set my iTunes to import as uncompressed AIFF. When I burn CDs of my performances, there is no damage or cross translation problems at all. Zero. If I import WAV files, iTunes just rearranges...

Here's a magic problem... When you click inside the blue waveforms, does the cursor "stick" and does Audacity start playing from that point when you press the spacebar? Sometimes you can cure magic problems like this by restarting the computer. Does the problem change at all when you do th...

If the singers are the only thing in the performance, you can use the pan tool on the left of the timeline to center the performance, The blue waveforms will not change, but the bouncing lights sound meter will tell you where in the sound field the singers are. If the singers are mixed into an other...

Recording from the internet has become...interesting. Some versions of Vista make it difficult to record streaming content. Some laptops make it impossible without some serious software and system changes.

<<<Sure, what's that model # for that Sennheiser headset?>>> I'll get that for you. We actually have two and were using them primarily for hotel shows of our work and exhibitions. I found out about them and started using them for live presentations in the screening room. World of difference. I'm no ...

<<<I could highlight every snare beat and reduce amplitude one at a time but there are too many.>>> Did you try one or two and did it work? Audacity 1.3 has a tool called the "leveler." It's a brute force limiter, not compressor. You can put Audacity 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine at the same...

The rest of the performance is a big deal. Are the vocals the only thing in the show? Were they mixed badly -- the rest of the orchestra is OK and the vocals are panned hard left?

I understand all this is a complete slave to the sound card, but yes. That should work. The old instruments needed auto nulling because they really had no idea what the incoming tone pitch was since the analysis is done with two different machines. And it wouldn't work if the analyzer main frequency...

If you expect us to fix it easily, we would reeeeely rather you only had two, maximum. 1.2 and 1.3. <<<The alpha version took a long time to find my .aup files and isn't displaying the full path in the Recent files menu, but otherwise it seems to be working.>>> It works perfectly except that it does...
