Audacity Forum

Oh, yes. The question. It doesn't matter what the sound is, they all cross zero volts/infinity dB. Metro Bus, United Airliner, doesn't matter. If you can hear it, it's going to cross that red line. The easiest way to find that in Audacity is use the non-dB marked timeline, pull the picture as tall a...

<<<I assume this is where the waveform approaches 0 db - right?>>> You ready to go screaming into the night? No. It's where it hits zero volts. And it hits zero volts at infinity dB. We use a value system where "Zero dB" is as loud as the system gets. It's more accurately 0dBFS; zero dB Fu...

Just a suggestion. Don't go nuts looking for something that's not there. Typically security services--logins--fail when the system can't tell who you are. That typically fails when something about you doesn't match, like the login to your computer doesn't match the login to the forum. Something like...

I can't think of a good stupid joke here, so I'll just dig you out. Rain check. The "Save" options all produce Audacity Project files, not sound files. Project files are what you want if you're in the middle of an insanely complicated edit with 35 sound clips and special effects--and you n...

<<<it IS set to 44.1kHz!!!>>>

44.1 KHz, 16 bit, Stereo? 44.1 is only one of the three numbers that have to match.

You might be able to use this. I posted more information about how the .aup file works: ============================================= Open up the .aup file in TextEdit instead of Audacity. File, Open With. Search the computer code (Apple-F) for the word aliasfile. The words following that will point...
