A: The “cursor” that moves along left to right while recording is stuck at 0:00. Nothing is recording. Audio comes out of speakers, but there is nothing happening in Audacity except the “cursor” is pulsing. What are you trying to record? I presume that you're not recording from a microphone. Where ...

Works for me

For completeness, the steps on Linux are identical to the steps on Windows.

Every audio track has a track name. By default it is "Audio Track", but you can set it to whatever you want: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audio_track_dropdown_menu.html Track names can also be displayed in the audio track itself. See "Show audio track name as overlay" http:...

Audacity 2.0.3 That's ancient. The current version is 2.1.3 which you can get here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/ 1) Click anywhere on an audio track 2) Set the required start time in the Selection toolbar . 3) "Tracks > Align Tracks > Start to Cursor/Selection Start" http://manua...

If you could post a short sample in WAV format, I may be able to provide a better quality way to fix it.
See here for how to attach an audio sample (must be WAV format in this case, not MP3) viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887

That's the main reason that it is still buried away on the forum rather than with the "published" plug-in on the Audacity wiki.

Glad it was useful

What you wrote can apply to some degree to capturing analog audio. The signal path between the analog input and the digital output of the A/D converter is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, particularly microphone inputs (due to the high gain required). The inside of a computer is a hostile...

Please read the text in that post as it indicates important limitations of the effect.

The range of 24-bit integer audio is identical to the range of 16-bit integer audio. In both cases, sample values 'should' be normalized to a range of +/- 1. This is (should be) achieved by dividing the integer value of the sample by half the maximum value of the integer format, thus "full rang...
