You didn't follow all the instructions. You need to return Audacity to First Birthday so it forgets all its past sins. Don't bother reinstalling it; you have to deal with that audacity.cfg file. This is a very important point. Launch Audacity 1.3 from a cold start. Does it ask you "English?&quo...

That, and you can run Audacity on your main drive (C:) and point to one of your other drives as a nice place to put the work. That happens in Preferences > Directories. My main PC has an IBM Deskstar 38 GB C: drive, but a much larger D: for data as well as external drives even larger. Assuming you k...

Yes. You put a Label (Control-B or Apple-B) at the beginning of each song you want as a separate selection. Then pick one of the Export Selections under Edit. <<<I'm actually using version 1.3, but that board seems to be slow as molasses...>>> It wouldn't be nearly as slow if you personally dropped ...

It makes beautiful podcasts, Audio CDs, MP3 and other compression type files (AAC, M4A, etc). Some computers ...

<<<http://www.arizona-software.ch/audioxplorer/>>> That one has possibilities, probably because they don't show you any graphics on the web site. <<<http://dogparksoftware.com/iSpectrum.html>>> Too Much Information. I think what they consider the spectrum view is that waterfall thing. Pretty, but ha...

Just because I never lose an opportunity to trot these things out, I created a phasing audio test. http://www.kozco.com/tech/soundtests.html Pull down and play the Left-Right sound clip. The first three segments are normal audio and the last one is intentionally damaged by being "out of phase.&...

<<<Like say record vocals and acoustic guitar through a USB condesor mic straight into computer using Audacity?>>> Certainly. In that case, you're limited only by the technical limitations of the "microphone." I want to call it something different since it's a lot more than that, but that ...

Just thinking about this a bit more, that wiki submission would be a grand place to park all the instructions and software tools you need to use to remove damaged 1.2 preferences from the Dreaded Windows Registry. Yes, there are spells to do that when Widows fails to un-install the software.
