Audacity Forum

had old music from audio cassette transferred to mp3 and WAV files on a CD. Managed to Import WAV file onto Audacity. Windows people tend to get stuck assuming what they have because Windows hides filename extensions. If you reveal all extensions, do those files actually say something.mp3 and somet...

If your machine is starting to slow down and miss tiny parts of the capture, the show when you get done will seem to run fast. This may be a good time to check up on computer hygiene. How full is your hard drive and when was the last time you backed it up and checked its health? all of the sudden, 3...

the playback is WAY louder than my voice is. I'm calling that normal. If your backing track is a commercially produced recording, it's been beat up to be as loud as possible to compete with other commercial music also as loud as possible. You are producing a home recording with equipment typically ...

what Dynamic Compression actually does, The simple version is a program that affects quiet sections of the show different from loud ones. That's different from file size, however. Loudness doesn't affect file size. You can get that kind of file size difference if you edited a compressed, lesser-qua...

if I can fix this issue I should be ok. My windows toolbars both just disappeared Our forum help is based on you having a basic stable system and know how to use it. We will never catch up with you. I think you need Computer User classes. There is a base level concept I sometimes use when I'm strug...

You may have high-end customized yourself right out of forum help. One of our servicing techniques is to reduce the machine to its simplest form and see if that works OK. Then add additional complexity until it either fails or does something unusual. It appears your basic machine fails. If you can't...

it's refusing to export my finished tracks Which are what? Music performance? Zoom H4 in USB microphone mode H4 built-in microphones? Do you get the same problems if you use the H4 built-in microphones in stand-alone and transfer the sound files later? I'm interested in whether the H4 will run not ...

I might have a work-around Yeah. I did, too. Plug the UCA-200 into the tape connections on the mixer. I think you can force the mixer to mix live performance with Tape Return which will turn out to be Audacity overdub playback. The natural mixer provides Zero Latency Monitoring. That's why I asked ...
