Re: Question re: adjusting sound level

Oh. You got really close to wanting to do it automatically. That's called "ducking" and I don't think 1.2 will do that. But anyway, yes, certainly, you can do it manually. The tool is the two white arrows and bent blue line to the left of the PLAY button. I forget....ummmm...Envelope Tool....

Re: Problem with buzz @ input

First, I'm stunned I was able to open up the Project. Chances of a Project making it through all that are about 10%. That click in the middle is actual performance, right, that's not part of the problem? It's not buzz. It's pretty severe data error. If you do a spectrum analysis on a clean portion, ...

Re: Fix for Portable Audacity settings not recognised

One note. I thought I wrote this earlier. The USB trick was done under Tiger OS-X 10.4.11, not under my test Leopard install. If that makes any difference.

Re: Fix for Portable Audacity settings not recognised

Yes. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just cranking through the steps. I will say I couldn't round up a USB stick, but I could mount an external USB drive. Seagate 750G almost empty.

Re: 1.3.5 problems exporting, wav files end up blank

<<<to export the files back, overwriting the originals.>>>

Overwriting original work is just extremely bad form. That's like burning the bridge behind you as you're crossing the river. Sometimes the fire gets there first...
