Audacity Forum

Friend, I'm not going to argue about operating systems here. All have their advantages and disadvantages. The only thing I want at the moment is to understand why a particular thing happened and what can, eventually, be done about it to minimize the risks in the future. And as to that I have learned...

Right. I have downloaded and installed a Partition Manager, and I have tested it first on my little Net-Book with excellent results. Before I take the step to use it on this one I will have to make some back-ups first. But I have taken a look at the drive structure, and that in itself was quite inte...

Yes, I think this one I'm using now has just that as I didn't get a restore/system disc with it and I couldn't find anything on the hard-disk that said anything about it.

If I record and save in Audacity's native format, it isn't actually a sound-file? But still it produces sound...

I have been using Audacity for about 15 months now, and I find it a very competent program, most of the time. During this time I have used it mainly for recording audio book chapters, and I have recorded several hundred chapters. Twice ( Only twice, but still, so far) it has happened that a file, af...
