Re: raise volume without clipping?

If you recorded your performance live, then no, it probably didn't go through many thousand dollars worth of studio and commercial volume compression. However, you can do that in post. http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/ This compressor only runs in Audacity 1.3 and it's a pretty amazing...

Re: overwriting with copy/paste

Audacity is a pretty simple off-line audio editor, particularly the 1.2 version. 1.3 has much better and more editing tools and you can have both on your machine as long as you only use one at a time. The only way I ever got something like that to work is to stack instruments and tracks one above th...

Re: Linking CD tracks together

If you can't be compulsive on the help forum, where else? Did you find the actual edit point in the "good" edit? It's barely visible. If you go straight up from the gap between the "G" and the "o", there is a tiny vertical line that doesn't match the graceful curve of t...

Re: Recording line-in and mic at the same time

That's dangerously close to the common request of producing your whole podcast in your sound card. Probably not. The sound card won't do that, I don't think it's a software problem. "Two" of anything is the magic place we send people to a small mixer and use the computer as a straight reco...

Re: Split a recorded Cd into tracks

You got a number of steps in there you don't need. Set Audacity preferences to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo, and set iTunes Import Preferences to the same thing (write down where they were). Those are the quality numbers of the music on a CD. Cable the CD player straight into the Line-In of the mac and cap...

Re: Editing Audio

<<<from one track>>> On the outside chance you really meant deleting something from the right channel without the left, there you need to split the stereo tracks into two mono tracks and edit them independently. Then join them back together later. These tools are under the black arrow to the left of...

Re: Need Help with Manually Recovering Temp Files

<<<Experimented with Audacity by recording something,>>>

Everybody always whizzes right by this step and it's really important. Were you personally performing on a guitar in front of a microphone to get these shows?

Re: Connecting Winamp to Audacity

Two notes right away:

Why is WinAmp in the middle? Why not just capture the work directly in Audacity?

Where did you find a sound card that would record low frequencies and DC? Most won't.

Re: Low volume when recording one track to CD

You can't hear the Normalize filter, so we can conclude when Normalize made the performance louder, the increase made it easier to hear the distortion that was already there. Normalize and Amplify turn the volume up and down. They don't affect the structure of the show in any significant way. <<<Cre...
