Audacity Forum

My personal preference on this would be to import your music into iTunes as AAC with the quality high, or all the way up. iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing > AAC > High (128) or Higher (256) Apple AAC format is roughly twice as good as MP3 at any one bit rate. Thus, AAC 265 is roughly the ...

See earlier in the post. I advanced that idea and the general consensus is no. The students went to export their show and there were pieces missing in some very awkward places. Two different students, as I understand it. The rest of the class was OK. The frightening possibility is that the computer ...

There is no good cure for USB Turntable sickness except to download Audacity 1.3.x and try that. If they both fail, then it's possible the turntable itself h...

We are this close to throwing in the towel on Audacity 1.2.x ever working reliably with USB devices. You join a lot of people having instability problems. I would download Audacity 1.3.x and use that. You can have both versions on your machine at the same time, although I would only use one at a tim...

<<<the mic input level meter indicates max>>> Can we assume you mean the red Audacity recording meters bounce when you speak, but after you press Record and Stop, you don't get a recording--you don't get the green meters bouncing? That's important. The fact that you can't hear it is a different prob...
