Audacity Forum

Further to Steve's reply made while I was typing, the garbage characters in "Audio Position" do not look hopeful, and you seem to be saying you imported from the first folder that had .au files. From what I recall from testing Audacity Beta some time ago, if Audacity runs out of space while recordi...

If you now have the space to do so, make a backup copy of the complete Audacity _data folder (could be onto a DVD). The chances of manual recovery are not great, but you may be lucky. The "Crash Recovery" page on the wiki is the best source of information re. recovering that we have. Thank you. It ...

Hello, I saw the "crash recovery page" in the Wiki but want to double check here before I mess anything up. I had to leave before a basketball tournament game started, so I used the Timer Record feature. I saved the project while it was still empty, but I was apparently too low on available disk spa...

That is remembered if you exit Audacity with it enabled. Just press F1 on your keyboard to go back to Selection Tool.

Thank you very much!

I believe I was in the middle of recording a radio broadcast and after I had restarted the recording after a commercial break, it was in a new format which looked very different. It had a gray area above and below the white area where the recording was taking place. Prior to that I had always had th...

Thanks for the detailed explanation again, Steve. Much appreciated.

Merry Christmas to all, and a blessed New Year!

Thanks for all the help, billw58, kozikowski, & steve. I'm learning stuff I never even knew existed, which is a good thing I guess. I never realized my recordings might not work in some .mp3 players, though fortunately, that sounds like it's probably pretty rare. I don't see why the podiobook site w...

The encoder stops for a doobie between the left and right channels. Koz So that's where we get the term "high fidelity"? Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I quite understand it all, but then again I probably don't have to. I guess for me the bottom line would be whether or not some .mp3 players mi...

Thanks for the reply, billw58. In the podcast that accompanies that page, the author, Daniel J. Lewis, goes into a bit more detail than the above summary I cut & pasted. He claims that music encoded as variable (VBR?) is better, but for podcasting a constant (CBR) format is better for some reason. H...

I occasionally record college basketball games & /or the interviews before/after the game & convert them to .mp3s. It saves space for my small collection & I'm guessing doesn't affect audio quality much in talk radio format as opposed to shooting for high quality music. I occasionally share it with ...
