Audacity Forum

@Steve What seems to have happened here is that a couple of binary "1"s have come out as "0"s (or vice verse). This particular glitch is hardly audible, but it's an indication that there are data errors, which is an indication that the hardware is struggling to keep up. I find it interesting that a ...

I do not see a route forward on this one. I have heard distortion when I started ripping, not severe distortion but certainly audible, just like sibilance. Not know what to do I just pressed Audacity Stop followed by Record and the sibilance disappeared. I do not know what this says. I think we can ...

I say: "Not necessarily. Nyquist–Shannon sampling theo...

Hi Koz, nice to see you back. Have you been following the other thread I raised? If not, please read my last page in the other thread, the relevant paragraph is towards the end of my posting on page 6 that begins, "What conclusions can we draw." @Koz It's feedback and I'm pretty sure nobody's going ...

Gale/Steve Please look at a new posting I have made "LP Rip with Distortion at the end of side one". This is very important to me and is so serious I may have to stop using Audacity unless the problem can be resolved quickly. The current problem and the stalled recording can be lived with but the di...

Assuming that both left and right are the same length and not an exact number of blocks then it is to be expected that there will be two, equal sized blocks that are smaller than the o...

Can I suggest you use Microsoft's 'Process Monitor' for RAM usage. In the listing you can select Audacity and then right click for 'Properties' and see the ...
