Audacity Forum

Actually, this could be the answer to a different question, he said, doing his fair share to promote thread wander. What are the parameters under which we send people off to that custom lame install? Always 1.3.6? Always Windows? Whenever anybody has any odd MP3 troubles?

We don't have near enough useless information in the thread, so allow me. The two "motor noise" tones at the top of that sample are A# below middle C followed by D# below that. A musical fifth. But they're not perfect. To get a pitch perfect match (so to speak), I have to pull the pitch sh...

<<<(about 1500Hz).>>> It's two tones, though. Like G and the C below that. It's a musical fifth. If you listen on headphones next to a keyboard you can figure which notes they are. They match some of the performed notes which is what's so entertaining about this. You can't just notch them out becaus...

<<<Now you can complain that "simple" should be the default>>> Oh, I've got a lot more serious things to complain about than that. Some of the tool data entry windows don't work right in Mac Land, etc. I routinely get stuck not being able to close Audacity. What. Yes, Audacity will not clo...

Music CDs don't carry any of that information, which is one of the reasons iTunes keeps dropping it all. The music on a Music CD is always labeled something ike CDA01, CDA02, etc. I believe the limit for a standard Music CD is 99 tracks. Only when you put the CD into a computer that can access the i...

Your computer is recording "Stereo Mix" or "What You Hear" and probably shouldn't be. That setting sends the speaker signals back to Audacity. Windows machines are cursed with infinite variety of sound pathways. Windows Control Panel http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=M...

You need to wade around inside the Windows Sound Control Panels. When your turntable introduces itself to the computer, it takes over the pathway into the computer. So far, so good, but sometimes takes over the pathway back out, too. The computer is trying to play your music back to the turntable wh...

<<<I'm shocked that anyone would release an OS without a decent file manager. >>> Then you'd be shocked at every Mac OS up through 9.2.2. OS-X was the first one with Terminal which would allow you to do these tricks. Even Windows has its Root Environment you can't get to. Ask Sony how well their Roo...

You never parted with the information of where you're getting your work from. A USB turntable by any chance?
