Audacity Forum

The earlier service will produce an MP3 that will play on the most number of different players. The later one is much fancier, but some older players will look at you funny rather than play the file. As a Desperation Method, export the work as a WAV file. Set iTunes preferences......... I bet you're...

If you installed "lame" as the administrator, you may have accidentally placed it in an area that the Lowly Users can't access, or installed the file so that only the administrator can open it. Get Info on the lame file and try to change it to global access or at least wider access than it...

Are you in Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input? Does your headset show up on the device listings? I have been able to get good if not great results on my USB devices by changing the volume there instead of Audacity. I've never been able to get anybody to tell me if that slider affe...

Audacity does not Save sound files. Once you get your show on the timeline and it's correct in every way, immediately Export As WAV.

We don't have crystal balls, although I do have my own and my grandfathers, but most of us have to make do with the information provided by the users. Someti...

Audacity doesn't save sound files. It saves Projects. To get a stand-alone sound file, use Export As WAV or Export As MP3. Try opening Audacity first then File > Open the AUP file. If you cleaned up or deleted any files after you saved the AUP, then there may be any show there to open. AUP isn't a s...

Did you trash the preferences file?

Do you have an iPod, cassett player, portable CD player, anything like that? Plug a 3.5mm (not 1/4") stereo sound cable between the iPod headphone jack and the Mac Line-In. Start the iPod at medium volume. Launch Audacity from a cold start and click once inside the red record meters. If you get...
