Audacity Forum

I should have said, "Let us know how that works." ========================= That immediately solved the problem and a host of others. Thanks so much!!! Out of curiosity what caused the DC bias to be there in the first place. Is it that I am working with old reel to reel tape? =============...

Everybody goes into this with the natural assumption that you can rescue any sound presentation from any damage. You can't. Especially if you tried the 1.3 noise tools--which are very good--and they weren't enough, you're pretty much dead. Cassette tape noise is wide and flat--hiss with a broad char...

Just to make sure we're not too close to the problem, all other programs seem to work normally and you have at least 10% free space on your hard drive? Sudden program insanity in OS-X can be caused by the hard drive filling up. Pull down the piano trill music clip from here... http://www.kozco.com/t...

Compression seems to be the tool for you. A word about that. We're talking about volume compression, not digital compression. Done properly, (and I haven't messed with the Audacity compressor very much yet) the overall volume of the performance is raised, but the very loudest parts encounter the kne...

I swear I answered this. Did you double post?

<<<The documentation contains no reference that I can find on the subject of cursor positioning.>>>

That's because this is the first time anybody has ever heard of having this problem. I need to sit quietly and read all that again and figure out a way to proceed.

<<<Once I have opened the file and placed the cursor to listen>>>

And you placed the cursor by clicking once inside one of the blue waveforms, right?
