Audacity Forum

I'm going with no for a lot of reasons starting with Audacity which will only manage one USB "device" at once. So one microphone, maybe with the headphone working, too. Sometimes not depending on the computer. You're describing a multi-channel, tiny but comprehensive mixing console with se...

So there you have it. Audacity 1.2 has no idea how to manage a Windows Media File. Directions could be "Super" or Switch" two conversion programs (Google), or Audacity 1.3 has some interesting support tricks. You can install both 1.2 and 1.3 on the same machine, but only use one at a ...

The newer Windows versions made this process a little rough to do, but it's possible. Windows Control Panel http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel Some new machines quietly deleted the tools you need to do that. I've never needed those tools because...

It's actually worse than that. The early Audacity used one place and file, the medium Audacities used the one you referenced, and the New Portable Audacity uses yet a third. The developer helpers have the opposite problem. We have to clear the decks for each upgrade and change so that there is no tr...

<<<zipped plug ins>>> Did you unzip them? ZIP is a transmission and compression scheme to make sure one or a number of collected files get to where they're going in good order. You get the original files back by unzipping the package. Either BOMArchive Helper or Stuffit. ("Bill Of Materials Arc...

You can get single sound file insanity by having punctuation marks or other "illegal" characters in the filename. "Trumpeter's Revenge.wav" is an illegal filename in many, but not all operating systems (the apostrophe). Upper and Lower Case Letters, Numbers, Dash, and Underline. ...

That's odd.

I'm getting sleepy.

I'm feeling very relaxed.....

You can pause a recording with the pause key, but you can't "back up" and start it again like a tape machine. So we need to figure out why your edits click. That's not normal. Many edits click when there is DC or Battery Voltage mixed in with the sound. I have a recording computer that doe...

Was the original sound file an MP3, or you just think it was? If you are starting out life with a compressed MP3, any further compression will make the show turn into old peanut butter in a big hurry. Each compression pass adds damage and you end up compressing the damage and not the show. The only ...

<<<Before I got a new computer>>> There's the clue. New sound cards and services no longer have the "20dB Boost" clicker option that the old ones had. Modern microphones tend to not need this, or you don't need it at all if you use digital services or USB, but it does peel off all the olde...
