Congratulations, that works fine. Just a few thoughts for you - While not really an issue with a little program, and more a matter of programming style, it's generally good to avoid unnecessary global variable. In large programs that cab be important because of the increased risk of using the same s...

That link comes up with "page not found". Do you mean this page? http://serato.com/dj-intro/support/1574 ... ity/page/2
Did you select “Built-In Input / LINE input” as the recording input in the device toolbar as suggested in that tutorial?

Last year (2012 - If I recall correctly the changes occurred in Audacity 2.0.3) libsoxr was introduced as the resampling library (the code that handles resampling). The available settings in libsoxr were different to the old resampling libraries and the names of the "quality settings" were...

I think the difference there is just the difference between the sound cards. The "on board" sound cards in laptops are typically made for just a few cents, so some corners get cut quite drastically, particularly on the recording side. You can compensate for the problem to some extent by us...

The linear function is applied to the sample value, thus to the linear scale level, not "dB" (which would be an exponential fade). The code is in /src/effects/Fade.cpp bool EffectFadeIn::ProcessSimpleMono(float *buffer, sampleCount len) { for (sampleCount i = 0; i < len; i++) buffer[i] = (...

Which of these two files sounds most like your recording?

Please try the suggestions that Gale made in his last post.

One other thing you could try - clean out remnants of any previous attempt (or actual) Audacity installation and start again: If you have ever had the repository version of Audacity installed, use Synaptic to reinstall it, then use Synaptic to "completely remove" it. Then, delete the audac...
