Re: record vinyl to laptop

An AUP file is not an audio file. It cannot be played by anyone or anywhere other than on your computer because AUP files do not contain the audio data. See here for an explanation: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_projects.html See here for how to send an audio file to the forum: http:...

Re: File get exported as unsupported file type

Also, don't use the dot character (period / full stop) in the file name.

Re: Audible.com QC standards

The goal is one-button solution, That's not my goal. I don't believe in the tooth fairy either. My goal is to alert the audio book creator of potential problems in their production. The solutions will vary - it may require a re-take, or just a quick pass of a limiter, or it could even be a false al...

Re: Error installing Audacity 2.0.4 in Ubuntu 10.04

I've put off upgrading Ubuntu partly because of the new Unity desktop I was put off by Unity desktop. I tried it when it first came out and I don't like the "App" look. If I want Apps I'll get a smart phone. I switched to Debian, and I love it :D I've also tried Mint with the MATE desktop...

Re: HELP !!! Normalising audio from video files

Audacity is not a video editor - it only works with audio. Importing a video file (via ffmpeg) will import only the audio portion of that file. Audacity can adjust the volume of the audio once it has been imported, but it is only the audio. In order to put that audio back into the video file you nee...

Re: Audible.com QC standards

Hi Robert, those are the same questions that I have been asking - I now have some answers (not yet complete, but we're getting there). How is this "hovering around -3 dB" measured? To quote the horses mouth: "What we are looking for is no significantly louder peaks than -3dBFS. Due to...

Re: Error installing Audacity 2.0.4 in Ubuntu 10.04

Is there a way to know what programs are dependent on this package? Yes, and there's loads of stuff. Open Synaptic package manager and select libsndfile for removal. Before Synaptic removes it you will be asked if you also want to remove ....(a load of other applications). After seeing the list - b...

Re: themes en audacity

Sorry, I do not speak Spanish. Theme support was available in an old 1.3.x beta version of Audacity but it was experimental. Unfortunately theme support has not been fully developed so it is disabled in Audacity 2.x. To enable theme support requires building Audacity from the source code and enablin...

Re: a possible cause of Audacity 2.0.4 failing to open

Thanks for the thought, but the cause of the problem has been identified. The problem is that 2.0.4 includes support for WDM-KS, which should provide lower latency recording, but unfortunately with some sound cards (mostly older ones) the sound card drivers misbehave and Audacity gets locked in a lo...
