Re: HOW TO USE CLIPBOARD IN AUDACITY

Audacity has ONE clipboard to store audio clips (when you cut or copy from one or more audio tracks). What I sometimes do when I want to temporarily store multiple clips, is to add an audio track, move it to the top of the project window, and mute the track. If I'm using a lot of audio clips, I may ...

Re: high speed tape recording

In theory, yes you can, but you will lose some sound quality. The most likely effect is that it may sound a bit muffled. Note also that MP3 is a lossy format (loses some sound quality). If you decide to go for best quality at x1 speed, then it may be a good idea to make a backup copy of each tape in...

Where exactly are you looking?

Ctrl + M to add a point label (Marker) at the current play position.
Ctrl + B to label a selected region.

Perhaps you're not looking in the right place:
~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins

("~/" means your home folder)

Re: Amplitude Modulation and Carrier Wave Addition

Some tutorials state you need to add 1 and multiply by 0.5 before applying AM.

Re: loop(repeat) audio "while" recording

Audacity can't do that.
