Audacity Forum

You're using a very old version of Audacity. The current version is Audacity 2.1.1 which you can get here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/windows it is quite a long project How long? My first suggestion would be to retry with the current version of Audacity. I'd suggest that you remove your ol...

What exactly is that? (make and model number).
Which version of Windows are you using?
Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity")

Is there a way to lower the volume on select pieces of a recording? 2 ways: 1) "Select" the part that you want to change (the easiest way I find is to click and drag on the waveform, but other ways are described here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_selection.html). This wil...

Effects in Audacity must (currently) have the same number of output channels as there are input channels.

Are there plans to bring back the Noise removal function in newer versions of Audacity? There are no plans to do so. It is very unlikely that there will ever be plans to do so unless someone can show an example where the old Noise Removal works better than the new Noise Reduction. In all tests so f...

Which file do I export? the data file or the project file? Audacity project = AUP file + data. Example: I "Save" a project called "mysong". This creates a file called "mysong.aup" and a data folder called "mysong_data" "Export" for an ordinary audio...

Audacity "saves" in it's own "project" format. An Audacity project saves the audio in a "_data" folder and saves all of the other information about the project in a "project file" (an ".AUP" file). To create a normal audio file that can be played in ...

All files that I'm trying out that are either MP3s that weren't edited in Audacity or non-MP3s all seem to be okay, so if it's LAME that's creating the issue and not working well with Windows 10, then that's quite lame indeed. MP3 files created with the recommended version of Lame for Audacity toda...

MP3: 1:06:54.5239 WAV = 1:06:54.490 difference: 33.9 ms. That's normal for MP3 (because the encoder / decoder delay is not defined by the MP3 format, so there is always a small amount of "padding" added). The length of the WAV file is exact. "1:06:54.490" is the "correct&quo...

When I played that file in Windows Media Player, it showed as being 1:06:55 but would play until 1:07:03. If you import it into Audacity, what is the duration (Select the track, then look in the Selection Toolbar with "Length" enabled). If you made the MP3 from a WAV file, or from an Auda...
