Audacity Forum

If you were editing when Audacity crashed, then the AU files are going to be out of order. A new set of files is generated whenever you create a special effect. The AUP files could be referencing files in the capture buffer location rather than the _DATA folder. See Audacity Preferences > Directorie...

<<<"Audacity Projects" are made of two parts:>>> At least two. If you play your card right and have a complicated show, it also includes sound clips from all over your machine. An Audacity Project first becomes one single sound file you can email to your mum when you Export As WAV or Expor...

You may be overloading the microphone. If you had electrical interference, I would expect the spikes to be all over the place, but they're not. Each spike is on a musical peak and it always happens on negative peaks and it always generates a positive spike. I bet if you backed off from the microphon...

The complaint is the sharp sound you get when your fingers travel between notes? It drives new players nuts but the rest of us don't care in the slightest? My spidey sense tells me you're after one pipeline that you can run your performance through and it magically takes out all the chirps. I'm goin...

<<<I NEED to recover that project.>>> Nobody has ever recovered from a crashed Audacity Project. I can't tell from the posting, but you do know the AUP file isn't a sound file, right? It's an XML edit management file and you can open it up in TextEdit and read it. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/aup1...

Two fluffy, right-brain ideas. --You can get "left" on both channels if your 3.5mm (1/8") stereo plug isn't pushed all the way in. The tip (with Left signals on it) hangs between the sliding contacts for Left and Right. --Audio Systems duplicate "Left" to both sides of a ste...

I can tell you what your first problem is going to be. Because Audacity doesn't place leading zeros, the files aren't in the order you think they are. The next file after 0001 is 0002. The next file after 1 is 10.

I think I personally would be messing around in... Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input ...if that's still there in Leopard. That's the place to force the Mac to pay attention to a particular audio service. However. This is a USB Turntable, isn't it? USB Turntable--Symptoms http://a...

We've been insanely constructive, haven't we? Let's continue a good thing. Set your preferences to 1 (Mono), OK the panel and restart Audacity. Make a really short recording of nothing or whatever's connected. It's not important. Make sure it actually tries to make a mono recording. Close the record...

No. Classic Normalize will not go higher than "zero" on the dB scale. Amplify allows clipping damage (although the actual waves will still not go over 0).
