Re: Compression Fun

I wondered about that. The KPCC feed is basically a 15 KHz broadcast sound feed from NPR to my house. Various satellite and transmission media in the middle, but basically sound. The Podcast feed, even though it has the pre-transmitter Mixing Desk sound, has been through KPCC's streaming audio serve...

Re: Importing so a PC can listen to the file.

Multiple Problems. While the a clip is on the edit time line, look to the left and see what the numbers are. Ideally, they'll be something like this... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg 48000, Stereo, 16-bit. Another good one is 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. WAV files exported with thos...

Re: WIKI Link

That looks OK.

I just noticed this. Do we follow the Chicago School of putting a comma between "answers" and "and" in the subheading?

Re: clipping at +/- 0.5

<<<goes via the inline socket.>>>

On your Windows Laptop? Those machines tend to not have Line-In in favor of Mic-In which like to overload pretty much exactly like you're describing. Roughly a thousand to one mismatch in sound level.

Re: Problem with Export Multiple to WMA format

Export Multiple sometimes creates problems. That and Windows Media can be a moving target. Can you right-click on the file that worked > Properties > Summary and tell us which WMA is created? then open one of the failed ones and see what that one says.

Re: Fixing variable sound level (DJ Mix)

<<<There is a plug-in called "fast lookahead limiter" (which I believe is included in the plug-in pack on the main Audacity web-site) that will do that.>>> Ooooo. This is me writing that down. That could be part of the answer to this... http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&...

Re: SCREECHING: I HAVE NO CLUE!

You need to stop opening up that sound clip. It's in a format that Audacity cannot manage.

Use either Super or Switch (Google) to convert the clip to WAV which Audacity can then open.

Re: STEREO

Does the turntable work in Windows Sound Recorder?

Windows Sound Recorder
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment

I'm guessing no. Did you save your turntable receipts?

Re: WIKI Link

I like the font style and size--roughly half-way between the forum title and the subheading. I would lose the black color on "Tips" and "Tutorials". They should remain underlined. As an experiment tint the words yellow rather than pink. Say 191, 191, 0. Or maybe a paler version. ...

Re: Audio playback slow and skipping

I do remember the first time I bought a "modern" SoundBlaster card for my Win98SE 233 MHz machine. Vastly improved over the original card and this one was a lot better at MIDI controlling my keyboard. Y'know, I haven't defragmented that one in a long time. That machine keeps the older appl...
