Audacity Forum

Hi Godfree, could you write future posts in paragraphs or bullet points. It's difficult to read and understand when you write as one long sentence. I can play the drum track in H2 , I have exported it to my documents , under root in unbuntu , it plays fine from Hydrogen "H2" is "Hydro...

By default, Audacity only looks for devices when it starts up. If you connect the USB device while Audacity is running, Audacity won't see it until you "Rescan Audio Devices" (in the "Transport" menu). Alternatively, connect the USB device first, wait a few moments for Windows to...

There is also a Leveler effect. Less said about that the better in my opinion. The Leveler effect does nasty things to the sound quality. Unless you want a distorted sound, best to leave that effect alone. The Compressor and Limiter can be useful for evening out the volume, but difficult to make sp...

Thanks Sprinterdriver. As I wrote earlier, I can't try it myself as I'm not on Windows, but it may well be useful for others. If you're interested in 'signal processing' in any form, you should have a look at Nyquist . I think you'd enjoy it :) If you'd like a chat about Nyquist scripts and what the...

It's right next to this one. I've just got back from work half an hour ago - yes I have to work for a living.

I'm guessing that you are using a laptop computer and Audacity is using the built-in mic as the input.

To continue recording after recording has been stopped, use "Append Record" (Shift+R). It's in the "Transport" menu.

Audacity can batch convert audio files by using Chains (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/chai ... ation.html)
There are no batch operations for converting Audacity projects (and never have been).

Said the Mac user that can't even record what's playing on his computer without the help of third party software, but please let's not get into flaming or fan-boy discussions
