As a literal translation it would be: but due to the peculiar environment in Audacity that may not be exactly what you need. Could you give some context to your question - what are you trying to do?

When I opened a stereo WAV file in Audacity, to the left of the intensity graphs it said "stereo, 44100Hz 32-bit float" Does that mean that the samples in the file are recorded as 32-bit floating-point numbers? By default Audacity converts WAV files to 32 bit float on import. It does not ...

You may be able to adjust the level with either the Audacity recording level control, or the Windows mixer, and you can always use the Audacity Amplify or Normalize effects, but the important thing for sound quality is to get the level about right before it is converted to digital so that it can mak...

if I were to purchase the UCA202 and plug it into a USB port, would Audacity then recognize it as a recording input? The UCA 202 only has "line" inputs so you cannot plug a microphone into it directly, but that should not be a problem if you are using a mixing desk. The UCA 202 (or any ot...

Probably not, but see here in the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu ... ation.html

Look to left of the blue waves, above the Mute / Solo buttons. it will say mono or stereo. Unfortunately it is a little bit more complex when considering things like vocal removal. A "true" mono track has only one channel, and as Gale wrote, says "Mono" on the left end of the tr...

Handling multiple tracks and multiple clips in each track can get quite tricky. There is no "one right answer" to this hypothetical question, other than "become thoroughly familiar with how to use the software" ;) There are some features that can help: Selections can be extended ...

Yeah that did the trick, works perfectly now. Excellent. Now I can just cut it loose on a directory and go drink some beers 8-) Let me know how that goes (the conversion I mean). It would probably be a good idea if it also sent the stdout (standard output) to a log file. There is a Unix tee command...
