I could make a blind guess, but better if you could post a short audio sample to demonstrate the problem. Record a few seconds with you talking, and include a few seconds of just background noise. About 5 seconds total will be ideal. Export the recording in WAV format . See here for how to post the ...

You can move individual audio clips, provided that there is empty space to move them to.

Thanks for your contribution aliask. I don't think this plug-in is sufficiently mainstream to be part of the standard Audacity bundle, but no doubt it will be useful for some, so I'd like to put it into our 'official' on-line library http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plugins As you ...

one channel of my mic monitoring is missing; it would be good to get this restored. As well, I have a second channel available in my recording space and I only need the one at the time.

Good point Doug. I guess freepiston will not want the RIFF headers, so yes, export 16-bit RAW rather than WAV.

Nothing "universal", but I presume that freepiston has some way of reading raw "bits" into his device.
Bits can be "masked out" with "logical and".

12 kHz sample rate is simple enough. Just set the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity window) to 12000, then export as WAV. For 10 or 12 bit, you can export from Audacity as 16-bit WAV, and ignore 6 or 4 LSBs when you read the data into your device. I guess you could try...

Does this have anything to do with audiobooks? Cause ill put the Audio clip in the program Filmora with the 9 minute video and its like slightly over 15 minutes of audio. Have you timed it with a watch to see how long it really is? My guess is that Filmora is counting the time too fast. I'm also gue...
