Re: ADVICE - Remove voice from song

First thing is: The file does not have a file extension . The file should be renamed with ".mp3" at the end. I tried different tutorials but so far I failed. I can get a fair amount of vocal reduction on the intro, but hardly any for the rest of the song. See here for an explanation of why...

Re: I could not split stereo to mono

Vocal reduction effects assume that the vocal is a centre panned mono sound - in other words, that part of the audio signal that is the vocal, is identical in both left and right channels. That would normally be the case if you made a stereo recording of someone singing with a band, without applying...

Re: cut and paste

Audacity 2.2.0 goes to failure. Do you mean that Audacity 'crashes' (the application suddenly disappears and is no longer running)? I'm not able to reproduce that. Does it always happen? Does it happen if you paste just a single word? How exactly are you pasting the text in the label (step by step,...

Re: How to move Audacity setting directory to other location

such as Audacity installation directory As waxcylinder wrote, that probably won't work because the installation directory should not be writeable for a standard user. If it is, then your computer security is badly flawed. Depending on what you are trying to do and why, it may be a better option to ...

Re: Recording of Internet Phone Call

I can't imagine what Google might do to Google phone that would render my very simple system of recording inoperative! "inoperative" is probably an overstatement, but when recording both sides of the conversation from one side, the "other side" will, at best, sound like a low qu...

Re: can't locate libmp3lame.dylib

I'm trying to export a file as an mp3 and keep getting the error "message: Could not open MP3 Encoding Library!" I have followed the steps recommended above and on Audacity's FAQ, but keep getting this error and it's quite frustrating. Appreciate your help! 1) Ensure that you have the cur...

Re: Simple "instant and real time selection" play

Unless you are planning to be regularly switching between Audacity and Wavosaur, I'd suggest that you use the (default) spacebar for play and stop. While it may take a little while to get used to, in the long run I think you'll appreciate the convenience of one big, easy to find key for play, stop, ...

Re: No Signal coming in from built-in line in

A word of warning; Soundflower is obsolete, and on my Mac (Sierra) it is not terrifically stable.
There's a more recent topic somewhere on the forum about a possible alternative that is supported. I don't have time right now, but I'll see if I can find that for you.

Re: SHIFT and Left-Click always plays from the start.

Awesome, thank you for the quick fixes! :D Hoping to see it in the next patch/update! You can try it now in the new 2.2.1 RC2: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=97903 If you try this version (I'd recommend that you do as it is mostly bug fixes), please do give some feedback in...
