Did he also expect his word processor to only save the selected paragraph? How does Photoshop handle exporting a selection?

Re: Adobe Audition - better for some things?

The last time I used Audition was version 2. They had just brought in "real time effects" and they sucked :D I presume that has been improved by now. Their Noise Reduction was inherited from Cool Edit Pro, and that was always a strong feature in Cool Edit. The Noise Reduction effect in the...

Re: Recording Clarity

The tinny noise is a big issue with Audacity. I disagree that it is "a big issue with Audacity", other than due to the fact that a vast number of people use Audacity for recording from vinyl, so even a minute percentage of users having problems will amount to a large number in absolute te...

Re: internal transfeer

The best way is called "ripping". That is to "digitally extract" the audio from the CD. There are programs specifically for that task, such as CDex and Exact Audio Copy.

Re: Unofficial Audacity win x64 port

I'm not aware of there ever being a 64 bit Windows release, official or otherwise. Even if there were, we could hardly recommend a bootleg version here, and any support issues would be between you and the person that you got it from.

Re: Why "show clipping" looks worse than it is

If I ever post the proposal for improved display of clipping http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=81802 on Wiki, should your idea of distinguishing positive and negative clipping be included there? If that ever gets written up as a proposal, then I think this could certainly be me...

Re: Additional options for 'List of Files' import?

Hmm, not sure how I missed this topic first time around, but anyway: I'm trying to figure out why no one has succeded to use Audacity for anything else than editing native Audacity projects That is blatantly not true. Audacity is frequently used for editing WAV files, MP3 files, AIFF files, OGG Vobi...

Re: background noise

As DVDdoug wrote, "prevention is better than cure", so if you are able to make a new recording without those problems, then that would be the best option. However, if the problems are not too bad, then it may be possible to do an adequate fix, so feel free to post a sample and we'll be hap...

Re: background noise

I have made some recordings in MP3 Audacity does not record "in MP3". Did you record them on some kind of MP3 recorder? If you recorded in Audacity, then Audacity records in a very high quality "uncompressed" format that is ideal for subsequent editing and processing. If you exp...

Re: ~8h recording after export shows/plays only 1h19m

The export finished without any errors, producing a file with about 4.7 GB file size. Noooooh!!! (too late :() The maximum file size for a WAV file is 4 GB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Limitations If the sample rate is 44100 Hz (the default in Audacity) and the recording is stereo, that works o...
