Audacity Forum

Personally I think that I would find the proposed behaviour extremely annoying. If I have Mary singing on the first "Audio Track" and Jane singing on the second "Audio Track", I don't expect Mary to suddenly jump down below Jane. As far as I'm aware there are no other audio editi...

but isn't WASAPI only partly implemented? Weren't there some problems with implementing it fully? Sorry for going over old ground, but not being on Windows myself I find it hard to keep up with the current state of things on Windows.

that link was just for converting them - without the normalizng and compression I was thinking about SoX http://sox.sourceforge.net/ It can do normalizing, compression, trimming and encoding. There are some example scripts in this topic: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=53669 ...

So, if I understand well, a CD quality is like the best we can find (16/44.1)? My understanding is the 16/44.1 is sufficient for high quality playback. There have been several extensive studies using double blind testing and they all agree that people cannot tell the difference between a good quali...

1). From what I've been reading, using Amplify w/the default New Peak Amplitude at 0, my cd should come out just fine, no worries about any clipping. If so, why is the default (and from what I've read, recommended) Normalize setting -1.0 and not 0 (I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times bu...

What processing do you actually need? If it is just MP3 encoding then Audacity may not be the best tool - some ideas here: http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/151711 I presume that you are aware that MP3 encoded files always have a short bit of silence at the start (just a fraction of a second, but ...
