Re: Gaps, cues

I am not burning CDs, but trying to perfect a system of playing directly from file folders and CUE files. Normally called a "playlist" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U) "Cue" files ("Cue sheets") are used for burning CDs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_%28comp...

That's what I thought you meant.

Re: Gaps, cues

Depending on what CD burning software you are using, you may not need to make a Cue file. Most modern CD burning software can create the Cue file on the fly.

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

The connectors run to a single jack which fits into the microphone jack on the side of the laptop. Bingo! That's the weak link in the chain. The microphone inputs on laptops are rarely good quality (often they are appalling, as is the case with my laptop). By default, Windows tries to help make nas...

Re: Trim Silence

Although your computer may have more than 4 GB available, Nyquist is 32 bit and is therefore unable to address more than 4 gigabytes (4096 megabytes) of memory. Due to limitations in the Audacity/Nyquist interface, many Nyquist effects (including this one) require the audio to loaded into ram. Regar...

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

Here is a clip from a file, which I had her record just two days ago. No editing was done on it. Again, thank you so much. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4ebs1o76lc2e32/05-Chp3raw_Clip.wav?dl=0 That has still got some sort of noise reduction effect on it. Let's go back to the original setup: Her studio...

Re: Possible to boost bass on turntable input?

So, I guess my last question is whether Audacity's bass/treble boost can really do anything if there's not much bass to start with? It can't put in bass frequencies that are completely absent, but if the bass is just a bit weak then either the "Bass and Treble" effect or the "Equaliz...

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

"High Peaks" is an easy one to fix. "High rms" or "too compressed" is likely to be due to processing too much. My wife tells me that they didn't edit these. That has some sort of noise removal effect applied to it. For a "raw" (unprocessed) recording, if I amp...

Re: 2.0.6 crashes, freezes computer on launch

Done. I used Windows' "Update device drivers". Unfortunately that will usually not give you the most up to date drivers for your sound card. It only checks generic Windows drivers, not the specific drivers for your actual hardware. I think there is a good chance that the problem is caused...
