Audacity Forum

Isn't that pretty :D It's "phase shift" that's causing it. Between the digital data on your computer and the display on your oscilloscope, some frequencies are arriving at the oscilloscope display a little later than other frequencies, and that can distort the waveform in all kinds of pret...

So then you would need to define "lots" at the start of your article, and I would suggest your article is possibly too narrowly focused. I wasn't writing an article, I was writing some tips for goldieam who was working on a project with 22 tracks. In the context of this forum topic, my re...

Yes WAV should be good.
Other alternatives could be AIFF, FLAC or OGG, but WAV is a relatively simple and very common format, so WAV is a good choice.

I disagree with you saying that's the only solution in all multi-track projects. Sorry Gale but I think you are putting words into my mouth, or misunderstanding what I intended. I am NOT talking about "all multi-track projects". I am talking about "large multi-track projects (with lo...

I downloaded the Audacity Version 2.0.3 The current version is 2.0.6 You can get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ There is an article in the manual (included in the recommended download) about recording from USB turntables: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/recording_with_usb_turntable...

The difference is that if the preference is on you don't have to reduce the height of each track by hand. I don't understand your point. I was talking about working with large multi-track projects (lots of tracks). With "Automatically fit tracks vertically zoomed" OFF (disabled): "Vi...

It's better to work with uncompressed audio formats (like WAV) rather than compressed formats (like MP3) because MP3 encoding reduces the sound quality and that loss cannot be recovered - only made worse. If you have the backing track on CD, "rip" (digitally extract with EAC or CDex or sim...

I think that's a good suggestion as long as there is a preference for once a single sample is clipped, the clip light stays on. I wrote: "In more than "N" sequential samples do that, then the meter clip indicator latches ON. The only thing that then requires configuring is the size o...

I see no little value in reducing the opacity of the red lines or making them dotted. This is what a fairly typical (poor quality) downloaded from the Internet MP3 of "popular music" looks like: firsttrack002.png With reduced opacity, you can't see much more at this zoom level, but you do...

but I think it is much more likely to be found in the Manual. We can and regularly do link from one to the other. If the user finds in the manual " Tips for working with large multi-track projects ", and it is a link, then they have "found it" regardless of whether the actual co...
