I just found NCH Tone Generator and Audacity 2.0.3 to create some "Notched tone" mp3 files to treat my tinnitus. Does the NCH Tone Generator do anything that you can't do with the Audacity tone generators? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/generate_menu.html After following the step-by...

The other niggle is in addition to deleting tracks 1-4 each time I have to make track 5 left & 6 right to make them stereo. You can join tracks 5 and 6 to make a stereo pair by opening the track drop down menu from track 5 and select "Make Stereo track" (no need to set the channels - ...

All I want to do is adjust the volume on all of my audio tracks to -23dB and -18dB. This is the specific volume range I need it In. I'm sure I've come across similar requests. Is this the requirement for a specific e-book publisher or something? The numbers alone are not enough unless we also know ...

Now in 2013 I buy a microphone, and I can't even attach it to my computer I know exactly what you mean - I started with a "portable" tape (1/4") that was the size of a small suitcase. My current laptop computer does have a Mic input, but it's crap. For recording at home I have a mixi...

Where does audacity hide these temporary files? If the current project has been saved at any time, the temporary files will be in the project _data folder (created when you Save a project). If the project has not been saved, then they are saved in the "temp" folder that is specified in &q...

I have a dynamic external microphone, not a USB one. And yes I am absolutely sure that when I record I get the input from that microphone, because if I use the internal microphone I get much better results. OK, I'm with you now. I'm expecting that a large part of the problem is likely to be limitat...
