Re: Can I reduce mp3 file size?

If the Audacity project is entirely mono, then the export will be mono. That's the same for all export formats. When exporting a mono file, the stereo / joint stereo option has no effect. For high quality stereo recordings, the "joint stereo" option generally gives better quality. I'd expe...

Re: How to record from Casio WK-240

Musescore is cross-platform (and open source) https://musescore.org/ I've only used it on Linux (works well). For really good MIDI sound on a computer, you need a good software sampler / synth, such as "Linux Sampler" (free), Steinberg HALion (about $200 to 4500 US), "NI Kontakt"...

Re: Can I reduce mp3 file size?

There's not really any benefit in reducing the sample rate when producing MP3s unless you are aiming for extremely small (and low quality) files. The MP3 algorithm is highly optimised to handle everything for you so you only need to be concerned with 3 things: 1) Mono or stereo 2) CBR or VBR ("...

Re: Audacity not recognising USB audio interface

Try rebooting your computer, then check that the device shows up in the Windows Sound Control Panel. If it doesn't, try plugging it into a different USB port.

Re: USB Codec recognized, but no sound recording.

The device "should" work without the ASIO4ALL drivers.

Have you checked in the Windows Sound Control Panel to ensure that (a) Windows can see the device and (b) when there is a signal going through the desk, it shows in the control panel recording meter?

Re: semi automatic batch

No, but you could run one chain with some effects, then reload the files and do your manual editing, then run a second Chain with the rest of the automated stuff.

Re: Move some export preferences into export interface

Some of this we've done and some not done. @Steve (in particular) what do you want me to do with this thread ?? It would be nice to decide what we intend to do about some of the issues that have not yet been dealt with. For example: I strongly disagree that it is intuitive for export multiple to ha...

Re: Seeking "Total Length" Box

I have, and I think the message should be more verbose That's a great thing about Nyquist - as a user you can modify it in any way you want. To modify the text that is output, look at the last couple of lines of the code. The printed text is between the quotation marks and the "~a" charac...

Re: Help for us broadcast editors that have to hit a show cl

The suggestion in the question is that the show consists of multiple tracks or segments I see no mention of that, but yes, that is a common way of working and is one of the reasons why the requested tool is very unlikely to ever be a standard feature in Audacity. If working on multiple tracks and /...
