Re: How do I shorten the track length? It's not letting my 'cut' the end off

How long is the show and how many tracks do you have?

Which Audacity version do you have? On Windows I think it's Help > About.

Re: burned CD from Audacity is loaded with noise

Once you get your blanks made by somebody else, burn a test using a burner not yours.

Re: burned CD from Audacity is loaded with noise

I read through that several times and it seems you have either contradictory symptoms or incorrect assumptions. It also occurs to me as I write this you could have two or more problems. Nobody wrote this error has to be one thing. Post two sound clips. — One, the seemingly clear MP3 sample from the ...

Re: Gauge for volume up or down

Once you're inside the computer, the dB levels are pretty "simple." Overload is Zero and the volumes get quiet in negative numbers from there. For example, audiobook quiet background noise should be -60dB or quieter. Outside the computer, Sound Pressure Levels are measured with, oddly enou...

Re: Too high recording levels with Behringer UCA202

You should have a phono preamp somewhere in the system, or be recording from your entertainment music system. Unless it says otherwise, turntables only have a connection from the cartridge, a thin black wire for ground and full stop. The sound comes off the record with intentional RIAA distortion an...

Re: Sound Activated Recording Delay

a time graph/pointer would also be nice
There is a time graph when you play back the work. Can I assume you want a time graph of the original time, before Audacity started chopping it up?

Re: Frequency higher than 20 kHz

Can audacity produce sound above 20 kHz? What's your actual application? Your question reads like you want super good fidelity in a live performance so you can do serious editing and effects later, but it's also the question from people wanting to produce subliminal transmissions or ultra-sonic car...

Re: How to save over an existing file by adding -old1 at the end

I've never heard of that and given how long it's taking for a response, nobody else has either. What you have now is normal. Where did you get your original Audacity from? It doesn't have to come from us and some of the other offerings can have odd features. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ Koz

Re: burned CD from Audacity is loaded with noise

There is an odd trick to this. A real Audio CD program will offer to let you set the spacing between songs . If you get no offer, then you're using the wrong CD type. This is a terrible example, but see where it would have let me set the Gap Between Songs. Audio CDs do that (the computer I'm typing ...

Re: burned CD from Audacity is loaded with noise

And don't use MP3 anywhere in the process. MP3 creates compression distortion and you can't stop it. Audio CDs use high quality WAV 44100, 16-bit uncompressed sound. If your conference was recorded that way, then stay there and don't make a lower-quality MP3 in the middle.
