Re: Can someone help?

And you can discover you have a two-track mono show by magnifying the blue waves to see if they're identical, and the proof positive is split, invert and add. If the show vanishes, it's two track mono. You can also get an idea from watching the Audacity bouncing sound meter. If left and right bounce...

Re: Smpte timecode

And just because I'm genetically unable to leave well enough alone, we will, of course, be supporting Edit Decision Lists (EDL's) and automatic execution?

"Email me the EDL from Friday's show. I want to dig out which interstitials you used."

Re: Smpte timecode

Oh, there is this. The DV video format has Time but doesn't use SMPTE. They use "Frame Code." That is an established format and it might be possible to use that—to hide that in the Audacity editing system.

Re: Smpte timecode

I agree it would be a grand idea, but it would require a revamp of the Audacity editing format. Somehow, a third sound or data track will have to be made and Scotch Taped to a sound track. When you perform a cut or other edit, the third track will need to track exactly those actions. Audacity has no...

Re: problem with distortion when reducing tempo

Was the original an MP3? You can't easily edit and do production in MP3. MP3 works by damaging the sound and then cleverly hiding the damage so nobody notices it. If you edit an MP3 and make another one, you make it a great deal harder to hide the damage. If you then apply an effect which is trying ...

Re: AIF Files Playback with static throughout

they haven't had a single other complaint yet

Re: Limiter in 2.30

the limiter does not work Yes it does. What are you trying to do with it and which of the versions are you using? There's four: two Clips and two Limits. Limiter is a relational tool. It goes where you put it and does what you say whether there's any sound there or not. That's why I use it in combi...

Re: Not playing through USB headset

Maybe the fact that it plays everywhere else is the problem. Is one of those other programs Skype or other Chat program? Game? Skype famously doesn't "Play Well With Others." We should remember that USB headsets are not simple Microphone Device and Headphone Device. They are combined and s...

Re: Playing along backing tracks

There's something wrong about that. I need to do some experimenting. You shouldn't need to do that.
