Audacity Forum

Hi there, I've never tried to digitally record an audio cassette so I visited this site ... http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/how_to_set_up_audacity.html It;s suggested that you make sure your Device Toolbar is enabled. All my tool bars are checked including the Device toolbar. However, I do not ...

Hi Gale, What a wonderful work-around! I can hit Play and when I find the exact place to star the new redoring hit SHIFT/A hit play and listen to where I would like the new recording to end and hit ] - the bracket key 2 away from the letter P and hit the Stop button simultaneously and it creates a "...

Well, once I have created the beginning of the piece by Shift/A how do I mark the end of the portion I want? I could hit the stop button - could I then choose File > Export Selection and it would save the portion from Shift/A to where I hit the stop button? Or must I somehow mark that stop position ...

Learned a couple more things. Using the left arrow cursor key does indeed allow you to back up digitally so you can go from 2m 3967 s to 2 m 3142 but it didn't seem to be able to go 2m 3967 s to 2m 3966 s, 2m 3965 s etc. I like how the Ctrl/A marks the stop in order to mark where you want the beginn...

Sorry about that Gale, It's a tad confusing about the Ctrl/M and Ctrl/B. At one point it seems like you're suggesting doing both simultaneously? With that kind of skill, I could join the circus. It was helpful learning that File > Export Selection saved the selection I carve out. It would be nice if...

Hi Gail, I don't know what made the blue wave disappear but I closed down Audacity and reopened it and the blue wave is back. I tried following your advice. I found about where I would like to create my recording and hit Ctrl/M and then hit stop where I wanted it to end. When I played that back I de...

I was trying to adjust the start and end and now the wave is gone. If I hit Play nothing happens. How do I get that wave back so I can listen to the recording? Is there a way to listen to the whole recrdign and when I find the exact place I want to start *my* recording of that recording o hit stop o...

I guess because I don't use Audacity daily it's not as easy for me to summon all the details of the tasks. Gail explained that I could place the cursor on the sound wave area and while holding down thew Shift key I could push the recording to different beginnings and different endings which works qu...

.amr is the file format for many cell phones. On my other PC, I was able to save the file as .amr and now I would like to save as *both* .amr and mp3. I installed Audacity. But, now I need to know if have all the files to export to .amr and MP3. I recall there were 4 other files I had to go back and...

Hi, My PC hard drive died and I'm on a newer PC now running XP Por on 32 bit.
