Mac Audacity 1.3.5b. I'm trying to rapidly edit a half-hour stereo show and I noticed that when I selected a portion at the end, the cursor, although it snaps to the end of the waveform, will keep going into virgin territory if I keep pushing by accident. Why does it do that and can I get into troub...

I had a PC failure this morning, so I needed to edit some theatrical productions in Mac Audacity. I picked 1.3.5b. I found or made all the hot keys I needed until I got to the place I needed to add a half-second silent slug. The Silence Generator doesn't appear to go to a half-second, and there does...

<<<I have converted some songs from CD to mp3 using Audacity.>>> How are you doing that first step? Unless you have an actual Music CD ripping program or live capture software, getting music from a CD is harder than you think.

Save everything--or be...

Does it bother anybody else that we all have favorite versions of 1.3 that we find workable and useful and reasonably stable (in spite of the category)...and they're all different? I like Mac 1.3.5, but there are happy users of 1.3.3, 1.3.4, and 1.3.6. Even more uncomfortable is the idea that the ha...

<<<Sometimes there may not be a zero crossing point available that is close enough to where you make the edit (most often happens with stereo recordings) in which case you will need to repair the click. To do this, zoom in very close on the click and use the "Repair" effect.>>> But still, ...

Remember DAT, Digital Audio Tape? This is precisely why DAT used television SMPTE time code instead of relying on the sampling clock frequencies between two devices. SMPTE will get you down to 1/30 of a second accuracy anywhere in the recording. And it will match the two videotapes running at the sa...

Caffeine deprivation. He gets like that.
