Audacity Forum

I'm guessing that what you are seeing is the delay in the information travelling back and forth to the server. You're seeing the information in the dialog box being refreshed (i.e. erased and re-drawn) as updated information comes back from the server. What usually happen in a fraction of a second o...

Whether the Export command exports as mono or stereo depends on whether the tracks to be exported are mono or stereo. As far as I am aware, if all the source tracks are mono, they will be mixed down to a mono track for export. If they are all stereo, or a mix of stereo and mono, they will be mixed d...

Effect > Truncate Silence will do that for you.

See this from the manual http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.ph ... te_Silence

As I understood your original post, you wanted to measure the time lag between the original stimulus and the response. Is this still what you want to do? If it is, then all the information will be available in the label file, as Steve outlined. If not, what exactly is the object of the exercise? PO'L

If your source file is in FLAC format, then there is no issue. It is a lossless format and you can import it into Audacity and edit it with no loss of quality.

Ive NEVER had a problem with recording with my mic til a few months ago. If you're recording from a single mic, that's a mono source, and the mic jack on your computer is a mono input. If you set Audacity to record in mono, then when you play back, the music will play back equally through both spea...

In Edit > Preferences > Devices > Recording, you should have Channels set to 1(Mono).

If that doesn't solve the problem, we will need a bit more info on your system:
Type of computer, mixer model number, how is it connected to the computer?

I didn't find option allowing to save file without re-encoding it. Because there isn't one. Audacity always un-compresses the files that it imports, works on them in their un-compressed form, and then compresses them on export, if exporting to mp3 or any other compressed format. There are other too...

What are you recording from? If it is a USB device, then as long as it is plugged in, the computer tries to play back through the USB device as well as record from it, unless you tell it not to. (Not a good thing if the device is a microphone or turntable!) In Control Panel > Sounds and Audio, go to...

I don't think there's a detailed description of the algorithm anywhere in the documentation (short of trawling through the source code and reconstructing it from there!). However, there is some information here: http://eccprojectsmusiceng.pbworks.com/Projects The principle is described in a paper by...
