Audacity Forum

Having some second thoughts about this. You can't overload the recorder and have Audacity magically put the show sound back together. Once you overload the recorder, the digital converters make up their own sound and it's not pretty—but it is permanent. I see from your graphic posting, none of the p...

Soft Limiter is one of the tools used in the Audiobook Mastering suite to force voice peaks into -3dB compliance. Nobody can hear it work.

If you do it this way, you should do it to the two channels independently. If you don't, the louder channel will put holes in the softer.

Can you see Catalina from here? That was the joke. Macs are having some very serious problems as well. Yes, I can. That's the foggy blob directly over Lori (my lorry). http://kozco.com/pix/ClearDayOnPacPal.jpg That's not my house. That's the house of a friend of mine currently on fire. The house, n...

I think we'll be waiting for one of the senior elves to look at this. I don't see anything obvious and I'd start looking at the other programs you have running at the same time. How much spare hard drive do you have? Audacity manages sound tracks in higher quality than you think and depending on the...

You have timelines with nothing in them? You have timelines with flat blue lines? Shift+Command+4 and d...

I rely on weekly full disk images of my drives for this.

How do you create and restore these images?

When was the last time you did the Long Virus Check? Many virus protection packages have a setting you use just before you go to bed because it takes a very long time. It does a very thorough machine test.

Do you have a neighborhood computer guru? Sometimes fresh eyes on a problem can help.

Do you allow Windows to do an extensive check when you start it? I think there are two boots. One is a Quick Boot where the system does a very rapid check and gives you the working machine very quickly, but the other is much more serious and it does multiple passes of longer checks and just makes yo...

You should not post personal information on the forum. Nobody from Audacity will call or email you. I removed part of your signature. I see a LOT of posts with problems in the past week Maybe not Blue Screen of Death. That's a very serious Windows failure. This is from a Google of your crash: These ...
