Audacity Forum

I've attached a small mp3 portion of the audio to this post for steve and others who've requested it. You're going to have trouble with that. The problem is that it has been recorded with bad electronics that have allowed clipped audio to "overflow" between positive and negative numbers. ...

I have an idea of how this might be done almost automatically.
Do you have an audio sample that I could try out the idea with?

Silence Finder is basically an Audacity 1.x plug-in and is showing its age.

To avoid the clipping you need to find a way of making the original recording at a lower level. How/what are you...

Don't worry about the Artist name and stuff just yet. If you can't find the file that you export then it does not matter if it has the artist name or not. Let's do one thing at a time. First off, you need to be able to export a playable WAV file and find it after it has been exported.

Try setting the recording input in the Device Toolbar to:
HDA ATI SB: ALC271X Analog (hw:1,0)
