Re: can vocal quality be improved from "tinny" ?

Pull that equalizer window as big as you can. the numbers get more accurate when you do that. This is a great deal more difficult than you think. You face the same problems of people who want to make their recordings "more spacious." Not only is the voice poor, but the noise level on the r...

Re: Problem Recording Stereo

Welcome to the club. Billions of people all unpacked their Christmas USB turntable "to transfer a few vinyl albums" and only some of them were happy. Did you have to put the cartridge on the end of the arm as part of your setup routine? I think normally, the cartridge and needle assembly c...

Re: Making CD's from LP's and being able to play songs at ra

After you finish that, click the little "x" at the left of the label track and you should be back to your original sound track, plus all the little puppies that the export gave you. The puppies should be labeled piano-1, piano-2, piano-3, etc assuming "piano" was the name you pic...

Re: click removal

You might install Audacity 1.3.x. You can have both on your machine at the same time and many of the tools in 1.3.x were changed and upgraded. Don't run both versions at the same time. Also, if you're transferring vinyl, there's a lot to be said for soap and water to help quiet down a noisy record. ...

Re: Portion of silence automatically appended in Wav-file.

One of the ways to discover what's really happening in the face of really oddball symptoms is to make them worse. What happens if you intentionally put tone from the generator on the end of your show and then export? Then take the tone off and export again.

Re: Making CD's from LP's and being able to play songs at ra

What's supposed to happen is that the labels will cause multiple separate audio tracks to be generated. You end up with a pile of WAV files or whatever format you did the Export Multiple... in. Collect them and reorder them as necessary, dump them into your burner program and poof. You can't do this...

Re: scribble (static?) sound in cut audio

If you luck out and all the moons and stars line up, the Center Pan Removal tool might work:

(Search the page.)

One of the restrictions of this technique is you get a mono music track at the end, not stereo.

Re: Recording what's going through sound card

And while you're here, have you ever used WireTap to record either or both sides of a VIOP conversation? All those people having trouble capturing the far end just need to pop for a license? Because right now, as far as I can tell, you can't do that with anything short of two computers.
