Oh, one more. Sometimes you have to restart Audacity for it to catch on to what you did.

Didn't it come with a ReadMe? I think mine did. In Windows, it's Program Files > Audacity > Nyquist or Plugins. In Mac, it's the same two folders wherever you put them. http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vocal_Removal Here's way to do it without the tool. http://audacityteam.org/help/faq?s...

The problem isn't that the recording moved, it's that the computer played back the orchestration in the wrong place. Open Preferences, Audio I/O and mess with Hardware and Software Playthrough. If you start getting echoes during the performance, then you are a victim of the Windows Sound Panels. htt...

Change the USB connection, or replug the one you have several times. Restart the machine. Clipping easily happens on percussion because of the way they send sound through the air. It's not a continuous blanket of sound that is easy for the microphone to deal with, it's like the acoustic equivalent o...

Try this. Find a clock with a second hand and record exactly one minute of work just like you have been. Export it as a WAV file and see how big it is. Extrapolate that file size to your actual show length. It's shocking how big audio and video files get in the course of a show.

Just thinking about this. Our Polycom videoconferencing machines will allow us to record both sides of the conversation as well as the video from the far end. This has been very valuable when someone is giving us directions from many time zones away and nobody can write that fast. The cheap way out ...

Graceful disaster recovery is a popular feature request.

"My machine crashed with 4573 au files. How do I recover my show?"

<<<change the Sample Format to at least 24-bit for editing.>>> That wasn't me, but you should edit in the highest quality you can comfortably manage. If you try to edit and do effects in a format that is already right on the edge (44100,16,2--CD quality) or already has damage (MP3, MP4, AAC) then yo...

Let's try this. Assume Audacity is closed. Disconnect/unmount all the outside devices--everything. Hard drives, audio devices, stacks, USB microphones, FireWire thingies, thumb drives, whatever. I want to see an empty machine with just the internal drive(s); keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Disconnect ...
