It does not work. Is there any other software out there that does? Try following these instructions: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#lame If you have difficulty, please describe precisely what you did and at what point you had a problem (and, as requested in ...

Wow - same manufacturer as mine, but I have "Mini" speakers. What a coincidence. I got the big ones - they were a really good deal from Richer Sounds many years ago. I replaced the tweeters (new ones from JPW) a few years ago because one of them was starting to sizzle a little. I was plea...

Audacity claims you can convert audio files and export them. That certainly isn't one of the headline features of Audacity, though I notice that some third party sites make a big deal of it. The official download page for the current version of Audacity is here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ If...

When I get that one, it means that I've plugged in my mic while Audacity was open. What I do is quit Audacity, open system preferences select the mic, open Audacity again, and select the mic in the input devices. And it works. Another solution that should work is to select "Transport menu > Re...

I'm using cheapskate speakers worth about £100 if bought now. You? Both floor-standing British made (JPW) floor standing speakers (about £250 if bought now) and cheap but pretty decent monitor headphones. "Blocky" implies to me "blocks" - what does that mean? "Muted" I...

I don't know how to make Contrast show the wrong value when selecting well inside a passage of "extremely quiet audio". On review - you're right. Provided that it is used on one continuous, non-silent audio clip, the current version shows the correct RMS level, even below -60 dB. I was co...

To me, the "problem" one does sound more "muted", but like a piano being played more quietly (but recorded at about the same level as the other clip) In this sample, I have taken the common phrase from each clip, lowered the level of the "bad" clip a little, and merged ...

I am doing everything correctly... It sounds to me that you are. Perhaps VLC is not showing the actual format. I use "MediaInfo" to show the format of audio files. It is free and works great, but I'd recommend using the Zip version ( not the "exe" installer version ) because the...

Can audacity not export into the classic aLAW and/or uLAW 8-bit format? Yes it can. You need to select "other uncompressed formats" in the export dialog, then click on the "Options" button to select the format options. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/file_export_dialog...

I'm a documentation guy; I think that everything we know about a program should be in the manual. Fantastic, (and yes I agree that the manual should be comprehensive). As you will no doubt appreciate, documenting Audacity is a huge task, so volunteers to help with the task are always welcome. Do yo...
