<<<I know that in the past there was a chance that Audacity would "steal" the internal Mac audio output settings>>> First I heard of this. Audacity is a complete slave to the operating system audio settings and most people have trouble the other way 'round. I can't get audio into Audacity ...

<<<In Audacity 1.3.4 "Truncate Silence" works on mono or stereo files.>>> Cool. <<< the maximum length of "silence" (below the threshold level) that is allowed without truncating>>> As I read the posting, the author recorded a show in a noisy room and wants the room noise to vani...

<<<You could always record on the minidisk, then record from the minidisk player into the Mac.>>> So I hit it a lot closer than I thought. Yes, double recording would work. It lets you be a lot more portable as well--and gives you hardware backup. We like hardware backup. <<<"get a mic that is ...

["Unfortunately, this effect can only be applied to Mono sounds files. Stereo files will need to be reduced to Mono before this effect can be utilized."] A reading from a help web site. I'm betting you're not going to like the effect anyway. It's easy to overdo noise removal and get other ...

Audacity 1.3 gives you the ability to choose any value you want. I still pick -3. Normalize is an automatic Amplify. Apply 6dB Amplify to a sound track an...

You don't really have a church, do you? You just want to see hundreds of uninformed people debate a polarizing hot-button issue. No? I suppose the first thing I would do is not post the idea on a public bulletin board read by the RIAA, the Recording Industry watchdogs. You were very firmly in the fu...

Audacity wakes up from first birthday in mono. Change in Audacity Preferences and restart.

<<<the Mac’s built in mic port.>>>

<<<Can you help?>>> No, or at least I can give you information, but I can't solve your problem. The information from the Sony web site claims that this is a perfectly delightful, self-powered condenser microphone with dual capsules and effects patterns. It's stereo and will plug directly into a Sony...
