.......* I don't think you can do what you want. I think you can't do overdubbing with an internal instrument. The Overdubbing instructions all assume you have an external microphone or instrument music tap like a guitar pickup. The New Music has to be a straight-line recording path from your instru...

Re-record it.

After you take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. See above posting: stop all other apps, etc.

I appear to have screwed up the last six hours of recording. But the first six are OK? is there any way to remove this effect - or do I have to read the whole thing again? Neither one. Did you read somewhere to do this, or are you doing what seems a good way? You should read a short segment of the ...

Does it open this one?

Who would think that Sound Enhancer would make it sound worse?? [Raising Hand]. You're not enhancing clean audio, you're enhancing the already enhanced sound from your mixer. Something similarly evil happens when you make an MP3 from an MP3. The sound damage, normally hidden, gets worse. There's an...

Zoom in and magnify the blue waves. Normal audio doesn't have straight lines. Straight lines usually tell you the recording is missing some sound. It may not be obvious in cracking or crunching, but that is a warning sign your computer may be slowing down to the point it can't catch up with the soun...

I personally would be making a "clean" recording on a separate recorder/computer while the main computer is going through all those gymnastics. I can see two human problems: You make one wrong move at the wrong time and the machine freezes. And you will never explain to anybody else how to...

MacBook Pro, using Disk Utility. That may make you a Data CD, not an Audio CD. You make an Audio CD by importing your music into iTunes. iTunes has a setting where it will not try to convert your music to anything else. If you produce the sound files in stereo WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit they will stay ...

still not as good as the original Audacity recording. With reference to your first, original posting, it's more and more clear you have a playback or other serious system problem. Most people—as in almost all—can't tell the difference between all the formats you have been quoting. None of these nor...

You can take that upside down, too. Play your MP3 on Something Else.

Still noisy?
