Re: Recording Problem With Audacity 1.2.6

Audacity does two or three things to make this difficult. Go into Audacity Preferences and set the number of channels to 2 (stereo). Audacity wants to be 1 (mono) when it wakes up. Audacity also defaults to 44100, 32-bit floating digital format. Change that to 44100, 16-bit. Audacity does not "...

Re: LAME (again)

You have one of the combinations wrong. "LameLib" is the file that Audacity 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 look for.

Help > About Audacity.

Just because it works doesn't mean you have the right Audacity. The "wrong" Audacity works on Intel machines.

Re: long audacity file saved as repeating loop - why?

Did you do some editing or special effects to the first fifteen seconds of the performance? That would have placed the performance segment in the _DATA folder and made it separate from everything else so it survived. As far as the looping five seconds goes, goodness knows. The AUP file is the one re...

Re: effects - normalize vs amplify

I agree. It seems to me that retaining UNDO is a very important reason for using Projects.
