Audacity Forum

So it would be like the 3X speed in the transcription option. But I want to do it at 8X. Additionally I want to loop play the wave file at this high play-back rate. You can do that by adding a Time Track http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/time_tracks.html Set the range to 100% to 800% then move t...

How are you doing that?
In what way is the sound "bad"?

My guess is that some other program is trying to get exclusive access to the sound card. When you first start Audacity, what options are listed in the record and playback boxes of the device toolbar ? Do you have any other audio programs running either in the foreground or background? (Your web brow...

I've split this to a new topic because there was no mention of crackle in the other topic, so this is likely to be a different issue. Which version of Mint? Which version of Audacity?

would it be possible for the real time monitoring out of the headphone jack on the fast track to sound ok, but the final file could be distorted as the computer Yes, very possible. Headphones in the Fast Track will monitor the sound as it comes into the Fast Track. Even if the USB packs up altogeth...

If the problem is on a laptop computer and the recording is done through the "Mic In" socket, then that does not surprise me at all. The mic inputs on laptops (and "on board" sound for full size PCs) are usually complete rubbish suitable only for low quality Skype and similar. Th...

Also I don't know if this matters but I recorded it in the highest hz/sec on the dropdown menu in audacity, which is 384000 hz/sec. That setting is way over the top for audio recording. I'd recommend that you use the default 44100 Hz sample rate. Very high sample rates pose a number of problems. It...

ideally (IMO) a Click Track generator would have an option to simultaneously generate labels at the beats (or bars). Currently Nyquist plug-ins can only return one "result". We can have a plug-in that returns a click track. We can have a plug-in that returns labels. We can't currently hav...

Topic moved to "Adding Features". Currently it is possible to "snap to" any of the available time units, but there are no time units for Bars/beats. (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/selection_toolbar.html#snap) There is also a weak "magnetic" effect when selecting ...
