I tend to conflate OS-X and UNIX because they're very nearly the same thing. We have System Administrators that set up Macs for the company entirely from the command line. No pictures.

So only in the sense of using the pictures is there a difference between UNIX and OS-X.

It's also possible to use lame as a stand-alone program. "lame" will install on almost any UNIX based computer and run from the command line. Launch Terminal and navigate to your music. lame -h mymusic.wav mymusic.mp3 [enter] That's how I produce an MP3 of a weekly meeting I record for fur...

<<<rinse repeat >>> Not only a celebrity, but a programmer. They're waiting for you over at Audacity Development. That line is from an old programming joke. Never get your programming philosophy from a bottle of Head and Shoulders shampoo. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. There is no Halt, Stop, Exit, or Bran...

Auto Silence Detect has never worked really well. It has to decide what's silence and what's a temporary quiet place in the performance. That's very difficult to do, and many people give up, do the large capture, and Control-B by hand. When you try to detect the spaces between songs in a phonograph ...

Audacity doesn't do real-time special effects. Many people would kill to be able to apply effects filters during a recording, but it doesn't happen. It sounds like you have auto sound leveling services for your microphone. You may find that if you talk instead of humming or whistling that the sound ...

"Shutting Down" a computer is something of a fairy tale. Major parts of the computer simply don't go off. If you have a large deskside machine, you can shut down and then crawl behind and see all the network services lights still blinking away. If you could see inside the cabinet, some mac...

As you already figured out, the AUP file is just an XML environment manager and you can edit it with any text editor. Make sure you understand the structure before you do it, though. Left sound on the top and Right on the bottom. This is a really simple AUP file in graphic form to illustrate the lay...

Open up your Audacity show and Export As WAV. WAV sound files are Microsoft Native and will play on almost anything, Microsoft or not. If you run out of room, you can Export As MP3 which are smaller, but MP3 files are a lower quality. Audacity does not Save sound files. It saves Editing Production E...
