Please post a short sample in (stereo) WAV format to illustrate the problem.
(See here for help with how to do that: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=72887)

The only time it makes sense not to use mid/side is when the left & right channels are totally different. Just to emphasize your point there Doug; in that example, "Joint Stereo" is smart enough to see if there is no common "mid" and will use "left/right" stereo. I...

I guess that "flattening" to ASCII encoding "could" be done, but there is a problem. Audacity is using Unicode and many Unicode characters have no direct equivalent in ASCII. I don't see that Audacity has any way of knowing what page encoding you want, without the considerable co...

See if your audio player support "ReplayGain" or "Sound Check". If it does, then use that and save yourself a lot of bother :) Both of these technologies just require a quick scan of each audio file, and can then automatically adjust the playback level. See: http://en.wikipedia.o...

The "WASAPI (loopback)" method described at the top of the tutorial page that DVDdoug posted (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu ... ndows.html) is usually the best method on Windows Vista and later.

A "better" (more reliable) way to detect clipping, would be to look for a run of "N" samples that are above a "threshold", where the "threshold" is ("peak level" - "tolerance"), and "tolerance" is specified in dB. For simple digit...

I wonder where that went
Should be fixed now.

What I am asking is, this is a known fault, is there a known solution No and No. It sounds to me like there is a problem with the sound card driver which is fooling PulseAudio, which in turn is sometimes sending the wrong sample rate to Audacity. what is the best workaround using audacity, Record w...

I now realise that I want to always use the Stereo option rather than the Joint Stereo option. "Joint Stereo" will usually produce better sound quality, so the "Stereo" option should only be used if you have a very specific reason for doing so. 15 years ago, some encoders were n...
