Assuming that you still have the Audacity project, do the Export again, and in the Export dialog, click on the "Options" button, then select "Constant" as the "Bit Rate Mode", and 192 kbps as the "Quality". More information in the manual here: http://manual.au...

Apparently there is a 3 position switch on the bottom of the Blue Snowball (near the USB socket). Is it on position 1, 2 or 3? It should be on position 1 for speech recording. If it is already on position 1, try it on position 2 - that should be much worse (much quieter recording). This test will te...

I can live with that as an interim measure until we get a good Jog/Scrub solution. I would quite strongly prefer that Ctrl+Click is confined to audio tracks and not the entire Track window. Given Gale's explanation of the uses of this feature, I don't see any downside to doing that. I would also qui...

and if I continue to open the project this is the result: Audacity 2.0.6 has opened the project correctly. That image shows that the audio in the project is hitting 0 dB and so will probably be distorted. You can turn off the red "clip indicators" in the View menu. See: http://manual.auda...

You will notice that the file size is 812,122,112 bytes To convert bytes to kB, divide by 1024 = 793088 kB Assuming 44100 Hz, 16 bit stereo, to convert from bytes to minutes, divide by 10584000 = 76.73 From the length and file size, all of those files appear to be 44100Hz 16bit stereo. I'm not very...

first of all, the version I have is Audacity 1.3 Beta Unicode is that the one I am supposed to use? No, that's a really old version. The current version is 2.0.6. You can get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/windows As you version is so old, I would suggest that you uninstall the old versi...

Hey, you in the corner with dust in your eyes...
Sorry to keep harping on about this, but could you post a similar test recording with the mic recording level set to 100%.
If necessary, eat some chocolate first - it won't improve the recording, but it might cheer you up

I don't recognise that warning message. Could you quote the warning word for word?

Is there a reason that you can't use Audacity without ASIO?

In addition to comments from DVDdoug, there is a difference between "data capacity" (number of bytes of data that can be stored) and "audio capacity" (number of minutes+seconds of audio that can be stored), due to audio CDs using some of the available space for the table of conte...
