<<<read the bpm of the live audio input>>> You were fine until you got to the word "input." Even output is a problem because you need to select the audio on the timeline and apply the filter. Input is especially a problem because nobody wants the latency that extra processing would cause. ...

I don't even think there's a way to do it manually one at a time given that the strings are still moving between the notes. Anything you do during that one little chirp is going to sound like little surgical holes in the sound field. Isn't this a little bit like complaining about the breathiness of ...

Standard "Red Book" audio CD carries sound in a Microsoft WAV-like format at 44100, 16-bit, stereo. It's straight audio with no compression. If it isn't in that format, it's not a standard CD. I probably wouldn't have presented Windows Media with an MP3 file because MP3s use destructive co...

Have you read through this? http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel I use a software package on both the Mac and the PC. The software lets me record anything coming through...
