I don't know anybody who claimed any compressor was distortion free. Even Chris creates enormous distortions of the original given that the show becomes as much as 20dB louder with dramatic phrase-to-phrase variations. It's just how you measure it. Chris designed his work to be insanely pleasant to...

Not to worry. That can be fixed, too. Save Project As... [TuesdayAfternoonShow] [Enter] Save UNDO data... Yes[X] .. No[ ] That's fine, as long as you've got the space to store all of that forever. Take a one hour stereo show, 16-bit 44.1kHz. Amplify -3dB. Look at the History window - it takes about...

Try out the Leveller effect with any amplitude of pure tone then do a Plot Spectrum on it. Ugly! So bad you can clearly hear it. Worse, it's all odd harmonics. I would not willingly subject my audio to this effect. The Compressor effect is much cleaner, adding only a tiny bit of third harmonic to th...

Glad you got it working.

BTW, the manual page for mixing a narration with background music is now somewhat more complete:

<<<clicking the close button [X] on a track and then saving the project will delete the audio on that track.>>> Is this a cousin to the other nasty surprise that Projects do not save UNDO? In a way, yes. When a track is gone, the audio contained in that track is gone. I also should have been more s...

Actually, that could help diagnose the problem. Interestingly, after renaming the files - now that Audacity doesn't know where they are - the waveform IS replaced by a straight line - and it's in the exact places the audio was dropped. So for some reason, the .auf files were giving it waveform but ...

Did you go here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#installffmpeg and follow the instruction for your OS? If you did this and successfully installed the libraries on your system, then you need to go to Preferences > Libraries and tell Audacity where the libr...

First, I'd highly recommend you switch to version 1.3.9 of Audacity. 1.2.6 is known to not work with Vista and OSX 10.5. Second, have a look at this page on the wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Transferring_tapes_and_records_to_computer_or_CD#Special_note_on_connecting_a_standalone...

It drives my boss the pilot nuts. All the directions are wrong and there are no flights from LAX to Burbank (that I know of). That's like flying commercial to the pub for a pint. :lol: :lol: :lol: But who cares if it's authentic? Sounds like the OP is making effects for a game (fighter pilots, spac...

The show will then be contained in your AUP file and the _data folder. As long as you don't move them around, the show should be OK -- slower, but OK. Koz Koz: Don't know about "slower". Audacity always has to reference the .auf or .au file to get the waveform for display. While it has that file op...
