Re: waveform ploting of an audio file

An uncompressed sound file is pretty much that list with relatively simple handles and management data Scotch Taped on. Windows WAV, Apple AIFF, and Music CDA format are all that list with different management. That's why a Music CD opens up in Apple AIFF format and they don't even bother to explain...

Re: No Audio During Recording

You left out a supremely important piece. Here we have a conventional analog turntable over here and a Mac over there. What's in the middle? You can't just plug them together. Or, you can, but you wouldn't like the result. Easy Audio Converter was no doubt recording everything in the machine includi...

Re: Applying voice distortion effect

That's a Vocoder (or equivalent) effect. Also see: Cher "Believe" and that silly Geico commercial. The object is to have the character, not the pitch, of your voice modulate a musical instrument, so by definition, each effect has at least two tracks going in. Somebody found a vocoder plugi...

Re: Massive Distortion/Digitization

Which Audacity? Which Windows? Multi-track MP3 shouldn't necessarily cause overload distortion which is what that is. Although you are producing a track with up to three trips through the MP3 compressor, and a non Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft MP3 compressor at that. Where did the song at 17 minutes come ...

Re: Centering a selection around a cursor point

That kind of thing comes with a video editor. They have (In Point) and [O] (Out Point) keys and the ability to easily enter raw time data and offsets. In your case go to the match point in the first clip and press I, go the the match point on the second clip and press I, then offset both In-Points b...
