Audacity Forum

I think that this looks like a simple, flexible and intuitive way: CrossFade.png OK, yes, I'm being something of a devil's advocate here. I'm doing it because I want this wonderful product to be easy for everyone to use: first time user, time-served veteran user and every kind of user in between. I...

That seemed to be both painless and effective! Long fades, short fades - all done with no hassle :). However, (aka "Ah, but..."), having tried this "one click does all" approach, I find I still prefer to cut precisely where I want to cut, to timeshift to precisely where I want the overlap to be, and...

I'm up to my usual trick of coming late to a long-running discussion :) . That latest suggestion looks very "intuitive" to me. I don't use the Cross-fade Effects in Audacity. I apply my own Fade Out/Fade In and then Timeshift to get the overlap. A new effect that does it all in "one click" - YES PLE...

Try Edit > Remove Audio > Split Cut or Split Delete

By tiny fades I meant short duration (no more than 0.5 secs and sometimes as short as 0.1 secs will do the trick). The two Effects in Audacity (Fade In and Fade Out) are both linear.

If you have got all the clips properly spaced out, just add one more track - a new Audio track with generated silence to extend the full length that you need. Then export all that as a stereo wav. That will preserve the spacing. If want to have separate files of each clip so the "other studio" can d...

Audacity can do all that you seem to want to do. You can use the Timeshift tool on each clip to drag it left or right in order that it lines up against the base track. Once you have them all lined up, simply do File > Export to a WAV file to have your mix written out as a single stereo track. Before...

I find that the "click/pop" is often an inevitability of this kind of repair work. A solution that sometimes works for me is as follows: - select your "patch" piece and duplicate it out to a second track (Edit...Duplicate - Ctrl+D) - Timeshift this clip to lie alongside the "bad piece" - use the Env...

...Recently, I updated the operating system to Windows 7, then installed Audacity 2.0 (from the .zip). "Stereo Mix" is no longer a recording option... ...However, my sound device is listed as being manufactured by Microsoft (it was RealTek before the operating system update), and no updates are ava...

When I had to switch to the current laptop is when the sound got bad. @wildbill001, I've just read back through your posts. Provided you were running the same version of Audacity on both laptops, the statement that I've quoted points the finger firmly at the hardware/operating system/drivers. Steve...
