Re: How to break-up a large audio file?

Assuming you can load it on an Audacity timeline all at once, press Apple-B or Control-B at the beginning of each performance segment. This is Audacity's Label Tool. When you're done, FIle > Export Multiple and choose WAV format. Audacity will produce music/performance segments that start at each &q...

Re: Audio CD Playback Problem

Go buy a short stack of brand name disks that doesn't say "High Quality" on them, spelled in any way. HiQ disks, HiKwality...etc. I'm a fan of Sony DVD-R at home. Do not let the burner decide what to do. I created several beer mats before I decided that screaming 48X, while entertaining to...

Re: It is only recording one channel

The Microphone In on a PC sound card is low level, but mono. Frequently, they will wire it up internally so that one sound performance appears on both sides of a stereo show. That doesn't mean it's suddenly in stereo, it means you have two-track mono--same thing on both sides. Do you get stereo if y...

Re: Backward Compatibility

Let me predict the past. All your work is in Audacity Project (AUP) form. You saved your work regularly like mom always said to, and now you have all your shows in folders on the hard drive--that you want to gut. Forget gutting. Get a new, second machine. Audacity projects are not one file. They are...

Re: Audacity Crashes While Using Multiband EQ

Hard Drive filling up? When was the last time you defragged? Sudden, Unexplained Computer Insanity can many times be traced to the machine running out of drive capacity. Up until now, it's managed to shuffle things around from cupboard to cupboard and put some stuff under the stairs and out in the g...

Re: Where is the REPAIR effect in 1.3.6 ?

I do have an install of 1.3.7 under Leopard, OS-X 10.5.5, yes. I just needed the excuse to go out and buy Leopard and install it somewhere. I also have a separate partition on the same drive with Leopard and 1.3.6. The main machine is still under Tiger and features 1.2.5 (Intel version) and 1.3.5 wh...

Re: tech support phone number

You can save everybody a lot of time and trouble by doing your own local machine research and write it all down ahead of time and then posting in the right forum. It once caused several days delay while we figured out that somebody with a 1.2 question had posted in the 1.3 forum and the question was...

<<<I've got my SD card wired up to the C-Stamp, and need to start testing.>>>

I believe you, but how is this an Audacity problem?

Re: Devil voice (like DMC4)

You probably want the vocoder effect. We talked about this in another thread. It's the Peter Frampton effect in that Geico commercial. That tool lets you generate any sound at all and then use your voice to modulate the sound. He made his voice sound like his guitar, but you can use any sound like t...

Re: Extract voice from voice & Piano

It's not that easy. If you had a super high quality, stable stereo performance and a bunch of other moons and stars lined up, you may have a fighting chance. but starting with a cassette tape...... You can't use straight sound filters because the piano and voice have similar overtones, so you're lef...
