Re: how to correct this?

When you connect a USB audio device to a Windows computer, it may automatically become the "default" device that is normally used for both playback and recording.
If that is the problem, see here in the FAQ for how to fix it: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... k.html#usb

Re: Add track display view to AUP

this is not the case if we stick with the numbers - if a new numeric type is added the code still works with no changes. Shouldn't we still check that the number is within a valid range? What happens if the AUP file has WaveTrackDisplay set to "103"? The only possible reason to store a hu...

Re: Linking with Lame

I have downloaded Audacity and made a recording but cannot save it without downloading Lame. Audacity "saves" Audacity projects. Audacity "exports" audio files. You can save an Audacity project, or export a WAV file, or an AIFF. or an Ogg, Flac or MP2 without Lame. Lame is only ...

Re: Add same jingle to multiple mp3 stereo files in a folder

There's a number of possible solutions which may work, depending on what the job is. What's it for? Why do you need to add a jingle to the end of a load of MP3s?

Re: Why does the selected area change to the entire timeline

If I select and area of the timeline using the "[" and "]" keys Ensure that you actually do have a portion of an audio track "selected" (highlighted darker). You may find it helps to click on the audio track before you do the "[ ]" thing. If there is no actua...

Re: Strange one-time recording.

Wow, well messed up :shock: There's no recovery from that. I'd say that the sound card has not made proper connection to the computer. I used to see a similar thing frequently with another make of USB sound card - the solution was (which doesn't help you now) to "safely remove hardware" (s...

Re: windows wasapi stops record when silenced.

Does your computer have an option to record from "stereo mix"? If it does, that might work - you would need to select it in the device toolbar (if it is an available option, which depends on your sound card drivers).

Re: AC3 to stereo aiff

The best way would seem to be to master the FFmpeg commands and calculate a 2 channel file following standard practices or have software that does that for you. Yes, much of this can be done directly in FFmpeg. The big boys use advanced options in FFmpeg (or libavformat or Mencoder) to tweak the re...
