Re: Shock mount for use in a restaurant

When you register your domain name, it is definitely important to ensure that it is registered in your name and not in the name of the registration company. There used to be a lot of registrars that offered "too good to be true" deals, like "Domain Name for 1 cent". Yes they were...

Re: Region Labels

Thanks for your suggestion. I suspect this is a "damned if we do, damned if we don't" situation. I expect that if we made the proposed change so that double clicking in the label was required, then we'd see posts from people asking "how do I change the label text after I've created th...

Re: Audacity Clock too fast

The speed difference sounds about right for the difference between 44100 Hz sample rate and 48000 Hz sample rate. What is the sample rate of the track that you have recorded? (look in the panel on the left end of the track). If it is 44100, then try changing it to 48000 by using the "Rate"...

Re: 32 bits operations

Hmm, the Windows binary from http://flake-enc.sourceforge.net/download.html insists on downconverting to 16-bit: Yes, you're right. I was messing about with several different encoders (libflac, ffmpeg, avconv, sox Foobar 2000 ...), and lots of different settings, but on closer inspection the highes...

Re: Unable to export MP3 after installing Lame

Check that playback is stopped (not just paused). That's the usual reason for greyed out menus.

Strangely, MediaInfo reports the FLAC files as 32-bit integer, so there's something rather strange about why they are over 0 dB. I've tried making some 32-bit FLAC files my...
