Audacity Forum

Can we assume you weren't actually recording in a tin can? You never said how you were recording, so that kind of leaves it open. You're on a Windows machine, right? Problems like this can come from having too many Sound Control Panel things open during the capture. Windows machines will cheerfully ...

<<<I am trying desperately to record internet radio>>> Desperation should lead you to pop for a full license for WireTap--I think the current one is WireTap Studio. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/ That's the way I do it on my Mini. How did you get a Mini with no audio inputs, not that t...

<<<but my computer won't complete the restore?>>> That doesn't sound good. You have a brittle system. That's two software packages that are unstable. Windows machines tend not to respond well to first aid, so the worst that could happen is the machine gets more and more unstable and eventually fails...

This is the forum to discuss the forum. Do you like the color blue in the forum window headers? I like the cool grading of the color top to bottom. How about the Smilies, do you like them?

It's good to know what an AUP file is. It's a traffic cop. It's not a sound file. Did you know you could open an AUP file with TextEdit? Try it. Just skimming down all the XML language, do you see pathways like this: aliasfile='/Users/koz/Desktop/ This is a simple one, but my show files live in that...

I thought I recognized some of the symptoms. <<<iTunes has smart playlists, auto-volume-leveling and plays MP4/AAC streams...>>> (underline mine) So all your hard work is going down the toilet when you import into iTunes. I know I used to be able to turn Auto Volume off, but I can't ...

Excellent. So the test song got shorter, but the loudness reverted. You did make it shorter* right, as well as normalizing so the test is valid? You know there's nothing magic about "Normalize," right? All that does is change the overall volume of the performance until some part of it--a p...
