This is getting seriously surreal. Is there any reason we're not using the multi-band compressor built into Audacity 1.3.5? Effect > Apple: AUMultibandCompressor That tool can have serious musical mix problems, but it does smash everything down to a straight waveform on the TimeLine. More importantl...

Pretty much. The dmg file is a Disk Image. If you have two Macs, you can make a dmg file of one whole Mac and use that as a backup. Anyway, the dmg file explodes into a "drive" with all the files necessary to run Audacity. I personally create a fresh Audacity folder, drag everything over f...

<<<1.2.6 ... no longer records through my speakers.>>> You mean record anything the computer plays, like internet audio?

I'm not shocked that Audacity wouldn't do that. Did you try Audacity 1.3? You can install both as long as you don't run them at once. One other item, the sound card does play into this.

The AUP file is a laundry list of all ingredients you need to make your show. It's almost in English and you can read it in TextEd...

Audacity will manage up to 16 tracks of audio from any single sound device. The problem with many multi-channel devices is that internally, they're structured as Stereo-A, Stereo-B, etc. Audacity will only see one of the stereo pairs. If you can manage the proper drivers, then Audacity will easily h...

I've been paying attention to this and it's only slow at first connection. It's like the first time connecting, it has to go out with a shovel and hand-dig a connection to me. After the pathway is dug and the dirt is all neatly piled, it works fine. I can hear the Systems Operators screaming "D...

<<< hate the font size of the typeface ......>>>

I really hate the typeface. Can we do something about that?

Thanx,
