Audacity Forum

Whomper: I don't insist on external. As a matter of fact, I would prefer internal, all other things being equal. Why not Creative Labs: because their card lineup is known to have omitted "what you hear" recording under Windows 7 in most if not all cases. And I have grown sick of their "driver suppor...

I am using Audacity 1.3.9 with Windows 7 Home Premium with good results. I sometimes need to record whatever I might hear on the Internet, which requires a sound card that supports "what you hear" or "stereo mix". Currently, I am using my Intel motherboard's onboard Sigmatel sound chip for this purp...

I have used Audacity successfully to record "what you hear" with Vista SP2. I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium. Audacity 1.3.9 will play any imported sound file fine, but I cannot get it to record sounds from the Internet. The familiar choicees in the sound control panel for "stereo mix" or "wh...

Yeah, that would be correct, although I haven't read Krazy Kat in decades--nor Pogo, another of my favorites. Too caught up in music and these god-forsaken computers.

WC: Thanks again. I am now just testing 64 bit on a separate partition to see how many of my 35 or so applications will perform well enough on it. I am not committed to it after the next month or so. When Windows 7 is released in October, I will install the 32-bit version unless I am confident at th...

WC: Thanks for the reply. That page you linked to doesn't mention 64-bit at all. Can I assume that no one on the development team has tested 64-bit at all, even informally. The 64-bit DVDs will be included with all retail purchases of Windows 7, which will be released October 22, so I would think th...

I have just installed the 64-bit version of Windows 7 in a separate partition as a test system. I then installed Audacity 1.3.8. Before the application actually appeared on screen, I got this error message: Audacity error on first run: failed to load shared library C:program files (x86)Windows photo...

Steve: test Thanks for the details on “split the tracks”. I will soon be upgrading to 1.3.8 and will experiment with it. It may have limited use for me. The only outright “recording” I do with Audacity is occasional “what you hear”, directly to mp3 on sounds found on the web. Most of my Audacity use...

Steve: I just noticed this thread and have some related questions. I process a lot of mp3 files with Audacity--fading noisy tails, adding silence, noise removal, occasional tick and pop removal, etc. At least half of my mp3s are in fact mono recordings (pre-1958), but are nonetheless two channel and...

Yeah, I haven't much of an idea as the scope of the development effort. For all I know, Audacity worldwide amounts to 5 people. But it is curious that basic functionality of all menu items isn't at least looked at when all the individual components are assembled into a new release and made available...
