Re: Is there a better way to share between platforms?

I can offer some good hints for file transmission. Today is 20190922, not 9/22/19. Don't use punctuation marks in filenames. _Underscore_ and -dash- are OK. DontUseSpaces_in_file_names. Don't use Windows Reserved Words. Reserved words are widely used during the DOS era and didn't change those proper...

Re: Is there a better way to share between platforms?

You are not saving an AUP file. The AUP is the list of instructions of what Audacity should do with all that stuff in the _DATA folder. That's where the actual sound is and you need both. If you lose your AUP file, that's the end of the world. Audacity doesn't offer a Server/Client version...yet. Sc...

Re: Improve quality of a phone call

Should I first select all the track then apply your settings? Yes. I think in some cases, the filter assumes a selection, but selecting is always safe. In Audacity 2.3.2, there is a SELECT button on the left. In any specific order? Yes, that specific order. Amplify puts the work within range of Cli...

This is a 2.3.3 bug report. You don't have a production problem.

Re: Every sound file plays in less than a second

If you're curious, Right-Click or Control-Tap the sound file > Get INFO. That will tell you all about your sound file.

This one is an actual MP3 sound file.

Re: Every sound file plays in less than a second

I just added LAME or FFmpeg If you're using Audacity 2.3.2, Lame for making an MP3 is built-in. FFMpeg is the one you need to open unknown file types. When you open a file that Audacity doesn't understand, it opens as a high-quality uncompressed file. If the file sound is compressed 2 to 1, it will...

Re: Improve quality of a phone call

Thank you for the sound test. This is not good. The sound system overloaded. The voice got too loud and that's what making the harsh, gritty sound. This is a normal sound.

The actual playback of the cassette through my sound system With that cassette machine? Pyle PT-659DU doesn't apparently have a headphone connection. If you plug it into your music system with the RCA connections, does it sound OK? The Tape Type and Noise Suppression settings (Dolby??) have to matc...
