Audacity Forum

Didn't I just answer this question in the Mac 1.3.x forum???

First, go to System Preferences > Sound > Input and see if you can select the m-audio box. If you can, select it. Then try with your mic to see if you are getting levels into the Sound preference panel. Adjust the input volume control while watching the input level meter (blue bars). If that test pa...

Thanks for that info on titling or the lack thereof -- that's going to save me a lot of figuring out 'how to do it' time. As was pointed out as a possibility, at least on my Roxio 6 player the titles are indeed there. Some CD burning software supports "CD Text". This embeds artist, album and track ...

What's wrong with just recording the toy with dying batteries? Audacity 1.3.9 has an effect called "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift".

I just noticed that you're running Audacity from the Desktop. Are all the other folders that Audacity needs also on the Desktop, like "Languages", "Nyquist" and "plug-ins"? Never mind, Audacity runs just fine from the Desktop. Just no choice but "English" in the First Run dialog, and no Nyquist eff...

Another option if you have 1.3.9 is this. Put all your effects on one track. Make each effect a separate clip. Now you can double-click on a clip to select it then click Play and just that clip will play. When it's done double-click on the next clip and hover the mouse pointer over the Play button (...
