Audacity Forum

Apple uses this new little-endian AIFF type as its standard on Mac OS X. When a file is imported to or exported from iTunes in "AIFF" format, it is actually AIFF-C/sowt that is being used. When audio from an audio CD disc is imported by dragging to the Mac OS X Desktop, the resulting file...

<<<A lot of stumbling about by the pair of us koz, but I think you've finally caught it.>>> Something about the postings didn't sound quite right. There was critical information missing here and there, but the narrative was so well done that you really didn't miss it. Every so often, the post would ...

It is a pretty simple device, but if you need one computer style microphone in to one computer, this may be ...

<<<Doesn't the "software playthrough" option get round that one koz?>>>
