<<<I get the red waveforms>>> The audio waveforms are blue. You're looking at the red bouncing-column audio meters. It's not normal to get a Mac to go into play and record at the same time--"playthrough." I recorded the live soundtrack for a whole theatrical short on a PowerBook and I had ...

If we assume you're on a Mac G5 or G4, this is what works for me. Mac OS 10.4.10 Audacity 1.2.4 LameLib for the PowerPC 244K (243,429 Bytes) Created January 7, 2002 I can't tell what the LameLib version number is from the file.

<<<You can add flags to a project in Audacity, press [ctrl]+m while it's recording.>>> Let's pay attention to those English words. You can save metadata in the Project File , not the sound file. And as they warn you clearly in the Audacity instructions, the Project File will not open up in anything ...

<<<a butt load of definitions.>>> So you don't really want subliminal tapes, you want Training MP3s that you can listen to in your (her) down time--like jogging or washing dishes or painting the house. Unfortunately, modern people don't have down time. If they're not on the mobil, they're texting th...
