Audacity Forum

<<<the connection in the computer beside the usb connections!>>> Use a lot of words. Connection in the laptop computer beside the usb connection? Can you tell which connection that was? Does it say Mic-In anywhere or have the symbol of a microphone? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://imag...

It may not be a classic plugin. I believe all the effects above the dotted line are built into the program. All the ones below that line are movable add-ons.

I have a few observations. I had that happen to me while I was running a perfectly stable and well behaved Audacity on a normal Mac Mini. No oddball programs or other crashing.

This is fun when a number of people with slig...

You left out the movie scene before the ones in your post. "I got up this morning and turned on my USB turntable like I always do...." Did I hit it? My bet is you are capturing damaged sound files and because Audacity will try its best to deal with the damage--usually by hiding it--the dam...

Real time noise suppression. Who would have guessed that?
