Re: Help – project got split into thousand little eff files

Open the .aup file in a text editor (TextEdit) and read it. It should have semi-English programming words in it similar to this. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/aupFileGraphic-redbox.jpg Your arrangement may be different.

Re: Need help fixing volume problems throughout an existing song

Where are you finding songs with large volume ranges? Commercial music is usually produced to be as loud as possible and no volume changes at all. I would say you recorded music with Voice Processing and Noise Reduction turned on. Stop doing that. Voice Processing hates music. Any long sustained mus...

Re: Importing RAW WAV file. Lots of noise

If the header is smashed, there's no guarantee that the data isn't corrupted, too. Maybe the header is corrupted because the machine couldn't make a header that matched the bad data.

Re: recording from iPhone to audacity

It's a USB-A connection like this. The cable is part of the UCA-202. You can't change it. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/usb-a.jpg Some Macs come with no USB connections and so some juggling with adapters is needed. Yes, I know. We're using an adapter to connect your mac to an adapter. I need to dro...

Re: recording headphone audio with a dell inspiron

There are techniques and special services that allow you to capture the playback sound before it goes to the soundcard and your speakers or headphones. I cheated a bit. Most of the time I'm not listening directly to the soundcard. I have a hifi amplifier and separate speakers. I leave the computer s...

Re: Unable to record from any source

what is causing this problem You are witnessing Apple hardening itself to renegade automatic connections. Instead of just blindly connecting to anything that wants access, the machines now take steps to make sure the actual user is out there. It's Apple's version of "Prove you're not a robot.&...

Re: Help! Is my file corrupted?
