Re: Trying to Record Conversations

That's the hard way, but yes. I'm betting Total Recorder will solve all this. It's stock in trade is taking down everything going through your machine when you press Go.

Re: Trying to Record Conversations

If you can't get the combination of mixer settings that work, you may be a candidate for Total Recorder (Windows). Even if it doesn't record everything, you can use that to catch one half while you're recording the other.

It's possible you may be able to use it to capture both.

Re: Export mp3 takes too long to save

And you probably aren't going to solve the problem. Cool Edit paid the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft MP3 license fees--at least my license did--and y'all are using the free lame encoder. I wouldn't be shocked to find that all the Good Stuff is available in the licensed version. We also need to remember la...

Re: Recording over questions

No. Your choices are to start a new track each time, or pause recording. If, instead of pressing Stop, you press the Pause key, Audacity will pause recording at that point. If you press Pause again, recording will resume. There may be other variations, but I'm betting you don't find one that lets yo...

Re: Disable voice-activated recording?

I don't think Audacity has a Voice Activation tool. Go into Apple, System Preferences, Sound and select Line In as your default audio source Go back to Audacity and make sure Line In or Default is selected and press record, does the recording start right away and keep going even though there's no so...

Re: Newbie advice...?

I'm assuming you want the individual tracks. If you don't, then export Vinyl_Side_One.wav and put the whole 20 minutes on the CD as one "song."

Re: Calling Audacity plugin experts

Select Log Frequency, Increase the sample accuracy number to, say 4096 or higher, and pull the window out to full screen. Mine goes down to 11 Hz when I do that.

Re: Newbie advice...?

>>>Export as WAV...? Import into iTunes?>>> Yes and yes. Don't export MP3 because then iTunes has to compress twice. Do all your production in Audacity (trimming, click suppression, cutting into tracks, etc), export individual tracks as WAV, and then open the tracks in iTunes, create a playlist and ...

Re: Set LAME to use VBR?

Lame supports thousands of options and it's possible to run lame from the command line in Terminal and get them all.

The Audacity Interface Panel doesn't always support the options you want.

Has anyone tried that? I do that in Linux, but not anywhere else.
