The Windows WAV file is a good choice because it's easily readable on Mac and Windows. You need a music CD burning program. Such a program should have come with the CD burner or, if a burner was included in your computer, then there should be a burning program in there somewhere. Nero Lite, Nero, Ad...

Unlike almost every other program I've ever used, Audacity defaults to selecting nothing. Edit, Select, All or select some portion of your performance and the tools should come back.

<<<It was my intention to record the audio component>>> The words "Copyright Infringement" fairly spring from my lips. Did you get permission from the performers to record the work? WireTap Pro will capture anything you can hear by redirecting the normal Mac digital signal pathways. Edit i...

<<<ell it what audio driver I am using, correct? >>> Oddly enough, I don't think so. The way it's supposed to work is you tell Windows what you're doing with the drivers and install packages and then, after everything is working just fine and Windows is happy, you load and launch Audacity and it goe...

If you change the microphone and the microphone preamplifier is in trouble, you haven't gained anything. Can you borrow an external mic...

Audio in a Linux machine is considered serious black magic. Last time I called the help desk with failed Linux audio , I couldn't get an answer. I went down to the office and there wasn't anybody in the room. The coffee cups were still warm and the cursors were still flashing, and the papers were ju...

Is there a way to generate that document so we don't have to own Microsoft Word to see it? Can you cut and paste? My way too fuzzy impression of a click track is the three or four seconds of ticking to establish the beat right before a performance. Like the drummer hitting the side of his snare. I'v...

When you pulled down the lame file from the internet, it comes down compressed and protected. Click on the file and it should open up and show you the real lame library file. That's the one that Audacity needs to produce your MP3 music.
