Re: CD won't play in my car

My discs play in PC & home player fine, but not in the 15 year old Alpine car player. Upon inserting the CD, the player displays "track 00" then nothing happens. That sounds like you have made a data CD rather than an Audio CD. Ensure that your CD burner is set to make an audio CD. 4....

Re: 32-Bit Float will not export to 16-bit PCM

MediaInfo can give you this information, though sadly that program is now being shipped with a load of adware and other crapware. Fortunately there is still a version available without the bundled crapware, but you need to install the version "without installer" to get it. The version with...

Re: 32-Bit Float will not export to 16-bit PCM

By default Audacity works in 32 bit float format. This allows Audacity to process audio more efficiently and with greater precision (thus better sound quality). When you import a file for editing, Audacity does not directly "load" the file, Audacity copies the data from the file into Audac...

Re: Samson C01U Stand Recommendation?

Attachment fittings on the end of mic stands are usually either a 5/8" thread (US) or 3/8" (Eu). The microphone clip, suspension mount (spider) or other contraption for holding the actual microphone, then screws onto this thread. Quite often an adaptor is included that converts one thread ...

Re: Help With Recording Issue Please.

The MXL website recommends: First, make sure the USB Mic is plugged into its own USB port and not a hub or USB insert on a keyboard. Second, if possible try using a different USB cable. This will help determine if the mic is faulty or not. Third, be sure you do not have too many USB devices plugged ...

Re: Can't find help project

Re: RIPING VINY Processing 24Bit 96KHz recording to CD-A / D

Normal audio CDs are always 16 bit, 4100 Hz stereo PCM. This is the standard for audio CDs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio My advice would be: 1) Ensure that you are using the current version of Audacity (2.0.5). Look in the "Help menu > About Audacity" for the vers...
