Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Steve - You have been so nice and helpful, I really appreciate it. I am a well-educated guy, but I am not up on the specialized terminology of this stuff. I just quickly ran through the link you gave me, and, honestly, I can't see it. You obviously understood what I was talking about, when I clumsil...

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Thank you! Is there a way, when recording or listening, to have the current location of the music remain at the center of the screen, allowing the time to scroll by, rather than traveling left-to-right, then jumping back to the left? I have looked for this setting and can't find it. Thanks again, I ...

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

I have a couple of SACDs and DSDs. Both sound excellent and I have not had any trouble playing them in odd machines, such as my car, but I may not be hearing more than the base level CD. What I am hoping for is to rip my vinyl to the best quality that is reasonably available and compatible with as m...

Here is one cool thing

this has helped enormously, and verified that I was not too far off base after all.

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

I thought I posted a reply but it does not seem to have made it here. I am glad to have helped, if slogging through this odd bug has helped the developers in some way. I am a serious music listener, but amateur LP and CD ripper. My primary use for Audacity is ripping my collection of vinyl, along wi...

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Here is the Registry entry. I can't tell whether the old stuff is still in there, it is hard for me to see a way to differentiate between 1.2.6 and 1.3.9 It would be nice to clean out everything that is obsolete. I have no problem resetting all my preferences from scratch each time I re-install, in ...

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Bill -

You say that you think the old 1.2.6 file is buried in there somewhere? Tell me how to find it, and I will send it to you.

I have looked around quite a bit and don't see it.

Where does XP keep its old backup copies of the Registry?

thanks

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Bill - I will try to find it. I opened the file in Notepad, and highlighted and deleted chunks of it, a chunk at a time, then did Save, so I doubt that there is a previous save. I am scrupulous about running a clean and mean machine, and I run cleanup utilities all the time, as well as manually dele...

Re: Trouble Opening WAV file for Editing

Bill - WAH - HOO ! It worked. I can finally edit an existing WAV file in Audacity! I did the uninstall/reinstall thing (no 1.2.6 any more) but I also cleaned out the config file. Boy, that is a huge file that builds up fast. That must have been where the problem was. I can hardly imagine how it has ...
