<<<I heard a story that a wise old man once managed to recover his data after a crash>>> I don't know anybody that ever got crash recovery to work, by my sister in Schenectady said a guy who used to work there insists that someone from his mom's bridge club in Binghamton got it to work once. Once. O...

Do you have your Windows set to allow you to see file extensions whether they're registered or not? Like if I sent you two files mywork.doc and mywork.wav, would you see them as mywork and mywork with two different icons? You used all the right English words in the question, but I strongly suspect y...

Nobody used the magic word "USB" in that thread. "FireWire" is a good word, too. If your multi-channel mixer claims to be able to send many different sound channels down the digital connection , then it's possible Audacity could be able to import and use them. I don't know of any...

I have two grays, "Services" and "Quit Audacity." The program is working perfectly. Play, Play At Speed, Stop, Magnify, Edit, and the filters all seem to work. Terminal-Top tells me that there is only one Audacity process running. I may have another oddity. I tried exporting a se...

I worked at an FM station in 1972. We used a Silent Sense system to determine when the next music selection should start. It was about 80% effective and as near as I can tell, the success rate hasn't improved over the years. I was talking to somebody in our shop last week who was digitizing his reco...
