Audacity Forum

Be careful you don't end up with a situation where you have "empty amplification". If you max your Audacity input and adjust the levels by using the output from your mixer or other upstream player, you run the risk of amplifying (in Audacity) a very low input signal. I'll let others chime in, but I ...

If you have a single track with multiple...um....bits you want to save as separate files (for example, I record the narration for web-based training as one long file, even though the customer needs a file for each "slide" of text). I either manually put in a label where the text breaks, or insert a ...

Edgar,
Thanks for the history and the look into the code. So much for the "simple fix". I would like to try your proposed change, if it's not too difficult. I've been known to get into the registry, etc. But not the innards of Audacity. If you can walk me through it...

Exactly! The script is a Word doc I am narrating. I would dearly like to have the Word doc on full screen, with just the Transport bar floating on tiop. Instead I need to have both Audacity and my doc partially minimized so I can click back and forth. Not the end of the world, just annoying...and a ...

I realize I can tuck it in a corner, etc. but if I want to have a full screen to view my script, I'd like to have the toolbar on top. The previous release (1.2.x) had an opti...

Unlike 1.2.x, when I undock the control bar (play, record, stop, etc) it does not remain "on top", that is to say, other windows with the focus cover the bar. s a result I have to layer my windows (Auacity, script, etc) offset to allow access to the bar. Of course, when I do pause, the Audacity wind...

Jesus... After listening to you sample, I notice several things. You need a pop screen. Your plosives are terribly distracting. It also appears that your levels are very high. It sounds like you have your mic jacked to the bleeding edge, picking up every movement, hum and breath in the room. Bring i...
