Audacity Forum

if I export a wav file, that uses 32-bit float, using the 24-bit encoding, there will be no audible loss of any sort if played by the sound card of my lap. It won't be "bit perfect", but there will be no audible loss. 24-bit integer has a dynamic range in excess of what even an expensive ...

if there's a way I may be able to help 'you' via some type of service survey, please let me know ! Probably the best payback that you could give is: as your expertise develops in transferring your vinyl to digital, pop back to this forum and pass on that expertise to less experienced Audacity users...

Try installing FFmpeg for Audacity. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ins ... html#macff

QuickTime files was not an option to add to the top of the Importer Order

Unfortunately, Apple have discontinued the QuickTime importer library.

And yes, as Steve, above, intentionally save a project with a unique name as you go. In this case, you would roll back to the last known good save. Audacity now has an option to save a robust, perfect backup copy of the project: "File menu > Save Project > Save Lossless Copy of Project" h...

It's worth knowing that it saves the whole project as UNDO every time you make any change.

but only if you make a change to the whole project.
You can see the total amount of space used in "View menu > History" https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/view_menu.html

I believe error code 7779 Probably not. It's more likely to begin with "-9", and should include a message. If you can tell us exactly what is happening, then that helps us to help you. Also, there are some changes in Mojave from previous versions of macOS, so let us know if you are using ...

I'm not sure what you are trying to describe, but my best guess is that you have accidentally clicked on the "Pinned Recordhead/Playhead" button. (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timeline.html#pinned) If the icon on the button looks like a thumbtack, click on it so that it changes back...

M1 = ( L1 + R1 ) / 2 M2 = ( R1 + L2 ) / 2 M3 = ( L2 + R2 ) / 2 M4 = ( R2 + R3 ) / 2 ... M(2x-1) = ( L(x) + R(x) ) / 2 M(2x) = ( R(x) + R(x+1) ) / 2 ... M(2n-1) = ( Ln + Rn ) / 2 M(2n) = Rn / 2 This will preserve the original audio file length. I don't see how that preserves the original length. Say...

32-bit float is very convenient for programming, as it's just one floating point number per audio sample. It's also very good for audio processing because it supports extremely high sound quality with a huge amount of "headroom". The only really important downside is that sound cards don't...

I don't think you need to manually fiddle with WAV headers. You could just export as RAW PCM, apply your program to the data producing a new RAW (data only) PCM file, then use "Import RAW" to get the data back into Audacity: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/file_menu_import.html Note th...
