Audacity Forum

<<<Well, one thing I"ve done is to save my *.aup, and then export as a Wav or MP3 file.>>> Good, yes, and no. MP3 is a delivery format, not a production format. MPEG1, Layer III (MP3) compression is destructive and every time you use it, the sound gets a little worse and how much worse is deter...

And reading the question again, there are far worse things than to Export a WAV file of your show. If everything else goes in the toilet, you still have your good-quality edited show up until that point--plus all the original sound files. Search anywhere on these forums for people who damaged some s...

One more. I think you have to preserve the folder and structure you told Audacity to use in the preferences. That's where your live capture segments live. That one's a little more magic than most, so I'm not sure.

Try making a short project like this just to make sure everything works out OK. We're going to make a project and save it on the desktop. Move the project and you will have to preserve: The AUP file. The _DATA folder and everything inside. Every original sound file that you used in your show and in ...

The only way this work-around works is by having a totally non-magic, uncomplicated, and unedited single sound file. If you have anything other than that, you lose on Sports Call®. So now you have an unrecoverable Project. You need to go way back and form one simple WAV file and use that for a bed f...

Projects are a little fragile and magic. The blue waveforms and the sound are carried by very different parts of a Project. You can get them out of step with each other if you change or move the wrong files around between the capture and the editing. Typically, somebody goes through and "cleans...

Is there a control panel that comes with the snowball? Close Audacity and open up the Mac preferences. You should be able to select the microphone and see the panel's bouncing lights when you talk. If you see the lights but they don't bounce, then the output of the microphone is low. We also need to...

You're using a Windows laptop, right? Many Windows laptops only have a "Mic-In" connection on the side. The output of most mixing consoles is Line Level which is roughly 1000 times louder than the laptop is expecting. It's no contest. You're beating the cookies out of the laptop. You need ...

<<<Can someone fix this????>>>

At least two of those are folders, right? It's buried inside one of those folders.
