Audacity Forum

Oh, one other note. You can use Audacity to help you troubleshoot. If you open Audacity and click once inside the red record meters, they will wake up and tell you the incoming volume without going into a full recording session. Those meters do go way, way down and measure very quiet sounds.

<<<almost-flatline.>>> A little known problem is the Audacity graphic flatlines at about -36 which is well within the range of human hearing. So just because Audacity doesn't give you a blue-wiggly line, doesn't mean there's no signal there. Welcome to the problem everybody has trying to record a ph...

Billions of people have trouble recording from USB turntables with Audacity. Are you sure it's clipping, or just random distortion in the performance?

Are you recording through the USB service, or did you connect the little RCA connectors on the turntable to the Mic-In of the computer?

<<<there's no way in Audacity of successfully isolating or removing a specific instrument or voice.>>> And don't pin any hopes on any of the other packages, either. This is, in variations, a common question. It's a cousin to the noise removal question for a lot of the same reasons. Rough or impossib...

Most CDRW players (I believe) will cheerfully send sound out both...

If "Piano Trill" will not multiple export from a clean Audacity start, then I wouldn't start a new project until you fix this. Something is broken and it probably isn't the original project. <<<I was able to export it as a single WAV. file but not as multiple files.>>> That's what's killin...

I have a painful work-around for you. You can't save the envelope (well, you can, but that's even more painful) but you can change the music underneath the existing envelope. Save your existing performance as a unique project. Know exactly where the music came from and exactly the filename. This wou...

Please excuse the puzzled cocker spaniel look.

How did you create the envelope? I'm going through all the tools in my head and I'm not getting any hits.

<<<You could zoom in enough to see exactly where the wav form crosses zero and make the start and stop points of the selection you're cutting/pasting etc. right at this zero crossing.>>> a. Audacity in this version doesn't mark zero on the timeline making it a bear to find the proper point. Or I gue...
