Audacity Forum

<<<the recording stutters like a CD player skipping.>>> The recording actually does that? You can play the same segment of the capture over and over and get the same skipping? How full are your hard drives and when was the last time you defragmented them? When was the last time you ran a system-wide...

<<<I see no reason why Nero 7 should mangle a good 44.1 WAV.>>> Nor do I. Especially since 44100/16 is the CDA format with a header changed here and there. Same sound. My default Real Time Dither is none. When you export your music to a WAV file and close Audacity, does the music open and play norma...

You carefully missed telling us all the good stuff.

What software, service, and connection are allowing you to talk to the cellphone in the next room? "Voicemail" doesn't let you talk to other users. iChatAV will not let you call a cellphone (that I know of).

<<<There are Mac people still using System 8 or System 9? All must be powered through their wind mills???!!! :)>>> The idea is to point out how old this version of Audacity is. Remember all the odd things and problems OS-8 had? Audacity 1.4.x is just about ready for release. I believe you need to pu...

<<<But this IS one for the Techs / Programers to correct >>> We 1.2.x people are using two version old Audacity software. Are you still using OS 8? <<<the right channel, with a VERY low audible signal on the left. After checking all the con nections>>> I'm not shocked. The guitar is producing signal...

You can download the piano trill from here.. http://www.kozco.com/tech/soundtests.html ...and put it o...

Audacity wakes up from First Birthday in Mono, not stereo. Reset in Preferences.

If that's OK, do you get both bouncing red lights, left and right when you make a recording? Do you get two blue waveforms on your timeline? Like this:

Yes, but.

The voices in my head are yelling that it shouldn't be tinny in the first place. If you play Audacity after the capture but before the export, does it sound OK?

If you have a conventional, non USB turntable, you can't plug it directly into a sound card, or you can, but it doesn't sound very good. There has to be a Phono Preamp somewhere in the mix. Are you using the "Tape-Out" of your entertainment amplifier? Once you tell me that, we'll work on s...

Did you miss a couple of important words? "...on my new USB turntable?"
