Macs will not let you play and record at the same time like Windows will--or at least not easily. The software packages in that link will let you capture anything that goes through the Mac. WireTap will let you do it on a schedule while you're not there. That's a minor annoyance, but we don't get th...

This is a slightly changed version of instructions by Julian Yap. http://www.julianyap.com/wiki/Convert_Stereo_to_Mono_with_Audacity --From Stereo Show to Mono MP3-- Black Down Arrow (on the left) > Split Stereo Track Black Down Arrow > Mono (each track) +/- slider > -6dB (each track) Project > Quic...

None of those attempts actually changed the show. If you had exported the show as a WAV file and inspected it, it would be exactly the same down to the sample rate and bit size. Audacity is a little wacky that way. If nobody else drops in, you need to wait until I have a little more time to deal wit...

<<<mic (SHURE) dynamic not compression>>> You got really close to giving us the number of the microphone. SM-58? That's a three-prong microphone and most sound cards are two conductor inputs, or worse, have battery on one of three connections. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/audioconnector...

You can get Audacity to play a track automatically by pressing "L" instead of the normal play button. You can go on vacation and it will still be looping when you get back.

We managed to dance around hard numbers. How old is the car radio? Mine is a '92 and it will play home-burned music CDs from a number of different burners Windows or Mac. Some of the players a few years older than that wouldn't Get somebody else to burn a music CD on something else and see if that w...

I can't find the official instructions, so I'll give it a shot from memory. If you open audio tracks into Audacity, the first one will determine the specifications of all the others. If you have to, create a one second long track at the numbers you want. Anything. Tone, Silence, singing into the mic...

"What You Hear" or "Mix Out" (different versions) scoop up everything your machine is playing into the speakers and redirects it into Audacity. If you happen to have a microphone open in the Windows Record Panels, then you have a microphone and a speaker open at the same time. Fe...

All back. I didn't reinstall Audacity, but I am running 1.2.5 on my Intel machine. I downloaded the lame library under Safari and it produced a nice folder on my desktop. Drill down to the libmp3lame.dylib file and move it to /Applications/Audacity. Launch Audacity and point it at the new file and i...

OK, so more digging. You can still get 1.2.5 and it's the version for OS-X Intel--all varieties.

Is that what you have?

The web site just went down. I've been having that on and off recently. Technology is our friend.
