Re: Stereo Track to Mono Not Working

I can't reproduce this issue and it is not a known problem. Let's go through the full story and see if we can spot anything out of the ordinary: When did it last work? Was that on the same computer? What operating system were you / are you using? What exact Audacity version were you / are you using?...

Re: Recording WAV vs. MP3

it could very well be that it applies some tricks, like bass boost to make it sound "better". Going on other Tascam equipment that I've used, I doubt it. However, if Black Dog Bluez posts a couple of short samples of the same (identical) music, one recorded as WAV and one as MP3, then we ...

Re: Stereo Track to Mono Not Working

but not yet uninstalled & reinstalled the program. Don't bother - that won't do anything. When I have two separate mono tracks in the project and go to Tracks, Stereo to Mono, The "Tracks" menu "Stereo to Mono" converts a stereo track into two mono tracks. You want to do the...

Re: Recording WAV vs. MP3

16-bit 44100 Hz WAV format is a "higher quality" format than MP3 (regardless of the MP3 settings), in that it is a more accurate representation of the audio data. MP3 encoding always discards some of the data, which causes "compression artefacts". For high bit-rate MP3s (around 1...

Re: Audacity group on Soundcloud [CLOSED]

Went to join, but apparently Soundcloud is doing away with groups, as of today.... aaa-auh! :| Yes, unfortunately SoundCloud has discontinued this service.

Re: Hidden tracks?

Audacity is not a CD burning program, it is an audio editing program. You would need a CD burning program that can burn from a CUE sheet file (such as EAC ), and a CD writer that can write DAO, and to play the track you need a player that can play audio from the " pregap ". The CUE sheet n...

Re: Label Track and other Languages

Labels support UTF-8, so yes you can use any valid UTF-8 characters. However, the HFS+ filesystem used by OS X requires that all filenames are stored in a normalized form (which I think is specific to Apple). For example, in an HFS+ filename, "ä" MUST be encoded as 0x61cc88, and "ö&qu...
