Audacity Forum

I don't know if it's even possible but could anyone tell me if I can remove the noise from the video file I have attached a snippet from? The noise seems to be recorded (added?) whenever the sound reaches a certain level so might be something to do with the electronics in the recorder: a Zoom Q2HD. ...

Thank you to both of you. I'll give both methods a go.

Hi I have imported a large .wav file which I want to break up into the individual songs it contains. I went through the file - it's over 2 hours long - noting the start and end times for each piece. The first time I used the Start and End times to select a portion of the file and export it the proce...

If you can do something for a user then you should. If you can avoid asking a user to do something then you should. These are not unreasonable guidelines for developers? I assume that a lot of your users will be more interested in sound engineering stuff so talk of UTF-8 etc might well be outside th...

Morning Everyone I wish some of the developers I've worked with over the years took things as seriously as you appear to do; very impressed. Just a thought, when you're amending the lable file import procedure to handle additonal meta data columns ;) can you not introduce a small field parser that s...

Thanks everyone who has helped me with this.

Re filenames etc, I can see Steve's idea working with Buddy Holly but Brian Smith - Karaoke star (not!) I don't think so

Thank you for your very thorough answer and for sticking with this topic. I did try and achieve UTF-8 output using Note Tab Pro which offers various encoding options but I obviously didn't get it right. One thing re the issue of seconds or hh:mm:ss; you say that Audacity instructions don't infer hh:...

Hi WC Did what you said and the file was opened and applied OK. The strange thing is, once the label track is imported, I can add the apostrophes back using the Edit Label function without any complaint from Audacity. And a note to the developers: an apostrophe in a song title isn't exactly a rare o...

Following on from my previous post, while I thought I had it cracked it turns out I've still some way to go. After a lot of messing about with EXCEL I eventually converted my hh:mm:ss timings to seconds but now Audacity says it can't open the text file! In the hope that it might help I have attached...

Can't thank you enough WC; brilliant answer. I just set up a multi-row, 3 column table in WORD, fill-in the rows one by one for each song entering the start time, end time and song name and when I'm done, convert the table to text, specifying TAB as the delimiter, save the file and then import it in...
