Re: Can't save MP3's

Avoid using full stops ("period" / "dot") in the file name.
If you have a dot in the file name, Audacity assumes that you are adding the file extension.

Does increasing the play level for the web site help (you may need to plug in headphones to avoid hearing the web site blaring out).

I had to read that twice, so here's the same thing in alternative words:
"Saved projects do not save the Undo history. When you save a project, it saves (only) the current state of the project".

Re: Raising the Pitch Shortens the Segment at the Same Time

As it says in the manual, Change Pitch does not keep the length exactly as before. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/change_pitch.html#limitations For more accurate length, use the more advanced "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sliding_time_s...

Re: 2 Questions from Newbie

Your question is a bit complex to answer directly because there are a lot of things that you "may" be doing (or "may not"). Probably the best approach is if you read this article from the manual, which I expect will answer most of your questions, then ask if you need clarificatio...

Re: make hotkeys accessible to the background

To avoid getting annihilated by the enemy, you just need to plan in advance so that your Audacity record key that works in all apps isn't used in any of those apps. That will be fun, given that so many key combinations that are not commonly used in games are used by Fraps. There is already a workar...
