Sorry, but that is simply untrue. Not unless you are using an ancient version of Audacity. ... The 'ZZZZ' component is generated randomly. I am writing to tell everyone what I did to recover my data. If it is supposed to be random, you can help find what was needed to break it so other’s data can b...

Do you mean sample rate, or strictly bit rate (which for PCM is sample rate * bit depth * number of channels)? I think I changed the “project rate”at the bottom before I began recording (so the answer is “whatever that box changes”). I have only changed 44100 to a lower figure in an attempt to redu...

it stops when the disk is full... Audacity doesn't stop when the disk is full but carries on, corrupting the existing recording as it goes. It is a high priority for us to fix that. Gale I did come across that while trying to find a way to avoid moving the first recording off the drive, it doesn’t ...

Im moving the 30GB recording to another drive so I have the free space to re-enact the original recording (blank recordings will NTFS compress better, it might allow >2x). This method only works if you choose the right bit rate, and assumes v2.0.2 names the files beyond 13.5h the same as v2.1.2 . I ...

I just discovered an unusual way to recover the data… The filenames are always created in the same order (except the last one), to make a working save file for it, I only have to record another of the same length or greater (may need more disk space). The save file has “min”, “max” and “rms” for eac...

The only other issue I have with audacity (2.12) is that it says it cannot see my avformat-52.dll. But mp3 is good enough. Also tried 53. Tells me “failed to find compatible FFmpeg libraries”. Even dropped them into c:\

The I think it was at 2.02 for a while… I last installed it in Feb 2014. I tried opening it with 2.12, no go. If you can suggest a fix for the aup file then maybe it will, but there appears to be a lack of content in it - between: <sequence maxsamples="262144" sampleformat="262159" numsamples="0"/> ...

I left my computer recording overnight and have a 25h recording, after stopping the recording, I considered amplifing but decieded to do it later (clicked cancel before starting), I attempted silence removal but stopped that because I couldn’t wait 1.5h (cancelling did not cause a hang), It only hun...

I'm still curious what problem we're solving. If the sound settles down to the exact middle of the range when everybody shuts up, then you have a normal, good quality recording of someone's voice. If the sound quality shifts from recording to recording, then some other normal problem may be happeni...

Hello, just wanting to write about an unusual waveform that i did want to correct but was unable to. The content is just voice but the author of the compilation had to return a number of times to finish the work. But by looking at the waveform it appears the microphone he used on two occaisions prod...
