How do I cut part of a track without cutting any of the one below it? I was recording, made a mistake, stopped,* and probably moved the cursor over to begin where the mistake began rather than cutting it out right then and continuing. *Also is there a way for recording not to drop to a new track whe...

I have Audacity 2.0.3. and Mac OS x10.8.5. HI have attached the error message I keep getting. (Not sure how to get it to show up in this window). It tells me: Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and project sample rate. [/b] I have not used Audacity in many month...

Steve, for reusing a 30 second musical segment at the opening and closing of each of many future recordings to be made in Audacity, would it not make sense to create and save this as an Audacity file, then copy, and paste into the new recording rather than export as a wav file? Or maybe I am missing...

Thanks, Steve. Am going to order the pop filter. I had improvised with a sock, having read about that, but just googled around a bit and found one for $30 for the Blue Yeti. Also, I will practice. In the meantime, what do you think of amplifying a whole track? I needed to get out one of the recordin...

Okay, I have applied fade out to the section of a longer track music I want as the lead in to my voice recording. This will become the lead in (and I will create the ending music, maybe the same) to be used again and again as intro to my readings. Does it make sense to copy the 45 second region and ...

So am relative newbie and SO GRATEFUL for all this help! ( I have Mac OSX 10.8.4 Audacity 2.0.3) I am creating recordings of me reading from my novel to be made available via subscription. I recorded first couple of chapters in Audacity, using a Yeti Mic and trying to implement suggestions I got on ...

I have dragged and dropped the two minute CD track (in flac) format that I have been given permission to use as intro and ending music. Right now, it is in a track by itself and I started the voice recording in a new track, putting my cursor in at the end of those 2 minutes--so I didn't inadvertent...

Hi again, So thankful for the all the help a few weeks back. Have been diving in and using Audacity! Here's my (perhaps foolish) question now--well two of them: Reminder, I am doing voice recordings of me reading, only music is at the beginning and the end. First Question: I recorded a long chapter ...

It quit without prompting me to save changes. Did not crash quit, just quit. I have to leave for an appointment, so don't have time to open file and check if some of my latest (subtle) edits are there. Will do when I return in a few hours. Am hoping! Is there a way to avoid this happening? Is there ...

Thank you, Gale. I have Audacity 2.0.3. (am a newbie) The stop button is also not active. (I have seen that no commands seem to be able to be carried out in pause mode.) I am about to nervously do what you say and will let you know what happens. A. Will send crash report if A crashes again, which ho...
