Re: Looking for laptop with built-in Direct firing speakers? With great sound quality.

Re: Cue sheet question

Cue sheets are just text files that have information that some CD burning applications can use. For MP3s you could use "chapter tags", but note that these are not part of the MP3 specification and are not widely supported by MP3 players. Chapter tags are not supported by Audacity, so you w...

Re: Steinberg UR12 - Audacity 2.2.2 - Linux Mint

Before I purchase a microphone to USB (A2D converter) preamp, do I need a special driver for Linux? It depends on what the device is. If it is "class compliant USB", then it should work fine with Linux without installing any special drivers. For anything else, check the manufacturer's web...

It's mostly in TrackArtist.cpp, but the code is very specific to Audacity so I don't expect it will be much help for other applications, other than perhaps providing some ideas.

Re: 16-bit limit from CD, 24 bit needs better source?

I had a Nakamichi 582. When used with metal tape, and a "direct master" analog pressing (they were pricey, not the department store stuff) or if I used a CD as the source for that, the tapes made by the Nak582 could not be distinguished from the originals. High end cassette systems, and t...
