Re: audio dropouts with waveform

<<<There must be a reason why it isn't already done this way...>>> Feature creep? We're talking about a multi-year old free sound program soon to be supplanted by not one, but two other newer versions, so no, there's nobody waiting for the call to do upgrades to 1.2. Have you tried the latest 1.3? T...

Re: Beginner: Export to universally usable format on CD

Open your music in iTunes. Create a new PlayList and pull your music to the playlist. One of the iTunes options is to burn the playlist to a CD.

This will produce a standard Music CD that will play in your car, truck, or mobile home.

Re: Soften Harsher Sounds

Is there any place we can download or just listen to the harsh sounds? I once worked with a performer whose voice just did that right out of the box and it didn't matter which kind of microphone I used. I ask this, because there is an electrical problem which will cause a microphone to distort "...

Re: Making vocals louder in music file

What he said.

All the known vocal management tools need a stereo show. The more advanced tools use spatial location software, but there has to be "space" (stereo separation) for them to work in.

Doing any vocal tricks on a mono show is, AFAIK, impossible.

Re: How to combine audio files

Another way to interpret the question:

Load the second song and Edit > Select > All, Edit > Copy. Then load the first song and place the cursor at the end [End]. Edit > Paste.

Then export as WAV or MP3 as you wish. Both songs will play, first 1 and then 2.

Once Audacity crashes, that's the ball game, and that's what's so dangerous about Saving Projects. Projects are brittle and prone to failure. No live capture is complete without an exp...

Re: one channel replaced by buzzing

Is this the turntable where you have to plug in the cartridge and needle? Try unplugging it (carefully) and plug it back in again. We've had a couple of cases where the electrical connections didn't go right the first time.
